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.

Great stay, good bed, good pillow, good shower, excellent food, great tea and fresh coffee in bedroom. My only negative was breakfast was continental and expensive for what you got. Wine was expensive per glass. Otherwise a super place to stay and will try to return.

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!)

This is an old coaching inn and retains a lot of the features but also has modern ones. The room was spacious, shower excellent, even though it was above the bar, quiet. The food and the selection of cider and gin was out of this world and the staff knowledgeable. Anyone visiting during the week should try the coffee morning on Wednesday, at the church at 10, we found it by accident, but were welcomed and treated to lots of knowledge about the area! free but donations are greatly appreciated, and the coffee was good!

Food was excellent, would highly recommend. My stay… the room was comfortable and private, but the bathroom needs some fresh sealant around the bath and we had so many spiders and moths in the room. One spider ran out of the bed as we pulled up the sheet! The room is hidden at the rear of the property so I expect it’s an ongoing battle at certain times of year, but for my wife who hates creepy crawlers she didn’t sleep a wink. Lots of old spider webs in the ceiling, I expect that’s due to the sheer hight of the ceiling. Personally it didn’t phase me and with a belly full of awesome food, all I needed was a good bed!

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!
