Heaps of character and a warm welcome. Amazing bar. It is only open as a B&B now but well worth ordering food to eat in - a 16th century inn all to ourselves!

Delicious breakfast, extensive choice. Very comfortable kingsize bed. Towelling bathrobes, handmade soap for a luxury feel. Spacious rooms. Proper fresh milk in the little fridge in the room for hot drinks. Isolated spot on Dartmoor, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

A character property with nice views. The room was comfortable & warm. There was thick heavy dressing gowns to relax into... Perfect. Good supply of morning refreshments with fresh milk in the fridge & two bottles of water at know extra charge. The management were very hospitable & the breakfast was very substantial. This is a friendly, homely place to stay.

Unfortunately the owners have decided against reopening the bar which is disappointing. Pleasant place to stay for a night or two but would avoid against any lengthly stays as beds are incredibly soft and uncomfortable.

Ideal Dartmoor getaway
The rooms were very clean and comfortable and they served a great breakfast. The pub itself had a lovely traditional atmosphere and the food was excellent. A great base for a weekend stay in the Dartmoor area.

Nice location on the edge of Dartmoor
Warm friendly Pub with accommodation. Rooms are well laid out and roomy. The staff were very friendly. This is also a dog friendly pub, so we took our dogs so that we could take them up onto the moors.

Perfect for walking the moors for peace and quiet
A bit disappointed that the Inn took £40 deposit which I never knew until we checked out today and checked my bank account. We didn't get any discount when the heating wasn't working for both nights. 2nd night we were given a small fan heater. Rooms seem a little run down this time around. Owners moods are very different morning and night so never sure if they will be happy or not. Entrance to car park is full of pot holes but large car park but mostly taken up by staff and owners.

Great food, room and atmosphere of country pub.
Lovely small Pub B&B (only 3 rooms) but personal service, great quality in bedroom etc. Food was exceptional although would be nice to have the pub open a bit earlier in the evening than 6.30 pm to have an earlier drink before dinner.
