Nice overnight stay

Check in through the pub. Nice friendly welcome, expected us, shown to room annexed to the pub. Quite spacious room with TV, tea/coffee, very clean room, on suite was small but adequate. Asked if we wanted continental breakfast which we did, paid extra and it was very nice and plentiful. Went back in to the pub bar for dinner, limited menu, only served until 19.30 but that was fine and suited us. Parking is tricky as the pub doesn’t have a car park but you might be lucky and be able to park outside the pub. Lovely quiet area, very rural outside the village.

We stayed in the garden suite. It was lovely. My only criticism would be that one of the legs on the futon in the living room area was broken. Our Daughter said the bed in the smaller bedroom wasn't very comfortable so we used spare duvets and a blanket to make it more comfortable. The small garden area was ideal for our dogs to be able to give them some space to toilet etc. The food in the pub was very nice, my only criticism would be the lack of vegetarian options. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and informative.

Please do not stay here if you are a eoman traveling on their own. I was told upon check in that no staff member is present on site overnight from 10.30pm onwards. I was then told there was just one person staying in the property which was a man. I did not feel comfortable with this so I decided to check out and stay elsewhere.

Delightful Tudor pub with 7 bedrooms in a quiet village. Tis was a perfect stopover and we particularly enjoyed the breakfast in the main pub area in the morning. Will definitely come back and recommend.

A gem!

Room only. It’s a pub with rooms. But here’s the kicker…. The rooms are large, clean and well appointed. The pub is friendly and bustling and the food is truly excellent. 20/30 mins outside Exeter. Staff were so welcoming and very helpful. Will be coming back. (Probably with the dogs as they l love dogs here and have their very own doggie food menu (treats! V cute!). Lots of room info for lovely walks for dogs (and their hoomans!)

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Myself and my partner stayed for 2 nights, on the first night with were arriving at 8.10pm just after the kitchen normally closes. We rang up and nothing was too much trouble, we preordered over the phone and they held off on preparing our meal until we arrived. Food was amazing and we had a lovely few drinks in the pub which has such a warm atmosphere. Our room was lovely, we particularly enjoyed the log burner, and was a great size. A great stay, we would definitely come again!
