I’m often under the illusion that the most professional ­services and quality goods are upcountry and then discover them right under my nose back home in the South Hams.

Now there is traditional acupuncture down the road in Salcombe, so no need to go to China to get treatment.

Having thought a multi-bed clinic would be far too public, I was pleasantly surprised to find this was not so.

The practitioners are highly trained and proficient, the atmosphere calm and soothing and the price low.

Well done South Hams for having all we need.
