It was excellent apart from the evening meal and cooked option at breakfast. My wife had the fish and chips, the batter was soggy. The cooked breakfast items were not up to our expectations, poor quality.

Lovely country pub with very high standard accommodation well positioned outside Exeter. Food and service excellent- the only shame was that I was there on a Monday evening so quite quiet but would definitely return when in the area
