Several note a large, safe car park and a good selection of drinks at the pub. A few reviews mention small rooms and housekeeping lapses, and a 9:00 a.m. breakfast start that can be late for early plans. Best suited to relaxed stays rather than tightly timed trips.

I expected something average but got something truely exceptional. I can say without doubt this was the most comfortable, clean, roomy, well maintained and beautifully renovated accommodation I have EVER stayed in. The staff were super friendly. The breakfast was exquisite. The pub itself is charming and the dinner menu full of local produce and the meal I had was delicious. I was worried about where to park the car in such a tiny village but there is a big car park at the back. Definitely recommend. 11 stars!

A really old pub in a remote part of the Tamar Valley AONB with lots of character. The meal that we had was excellent and there was a good selection of wines to choose from. The accommodation was also excellent and way above what we were expecting for a B&B attached to a pub. The staff were very friendly and made us really welcome. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

Nice rural location in Dartmoor village. Room nice but small. Cleanliness poor, spiders and webs in corners. Earliest breakfast time 9:00am is too late when you have plans for the day. TV too small, around 19" and smaller than regular computer monitor. No window other than skylight. Room lighting poor. No full length mirror, no shower mat. Toilet not flushing properly.

Beautiful spot and a lovely stretch of legs around the white cottage village. Some confusion over breakfast times with the landlord which got resolved but best to make it clear breakfast is not served until 9am if a business traveller this is too late. (i was asked if i stay in country pubs and i do 47 so far this year) Food was good quality i loved the chicken bites delicious. The room could do with a chair as you have to put luggage on the floor although the room is very small.

A really old pub in a remote part of the Tamar Valley AONB with lots of character. The meal that we had was excellent and there was a good selection of wines to choose from. The accommodation was also excellent and way above what we were expecting for a B&B attached to a pub. The staff were very friendly and made us really welcome. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

We stumbled upon this place by accident. What a great find! Quaint little village set in a tiny valley with a river running thru it. Pheasants scurrying about the daffodils. Beautiful. Nice room. Both dinner and breakfast were very good. The best sausages I’ve had since arriving in the UK. A great stay.

The breakfast was exquisite. The pub itself is charming and the dinner menu full of local produce and the meal I had was delicious.

Nice rural location in Dartmoor village. Room nice but small. Cleanliness poor, spiders and webs in corners. Earliest breakfast time 9:00am is too late when you have plans for the day. TV too small, around 19" and smaller than regular computer monitor. No window other than skylight. Room lighting poor. No full length mirror, no shower mat. Toilet not flushing properly.

The staff at the property were all amazing. They couldn't have been more polite or helpful. The pub has a great selection of drinks and the food was extremely good, including the breakfast.

We stumbled upon this place by accident. What a great find! Quaint little village set in a tiny valley with a river running thru it. Pheasants scurrying about the daffodils. Beautiful. Nice room. Both dinner and breakfast were very good. The best sausages I’ve had since arriving in the UK. A great stay.

Matt & his team have a jewel here!! The Inn was so good we didn’t want to leave The area is a challenge if you are a nervy driver but I found it pretty easy when you embraced the local way of life The room was stunning & Huge! The shower was perfect & we were so comfortable in the biggest bed I have ever seen! A few cobwebs aside( we are in the countryside future guests!) Beautifully located in a valley & close to Dartmoor & Buckland Abbey we got out & about & there was so much to do & explore The meals in the Inn were excellent & well researched, loved the use of everything locally, & the best part of the stay was talking to Fiona & having a wonderful crafted breakfast freshly cooked with toast , butter and tea & coffee, no continental choices so embrace the cooked food Fiona was amazing & we loved her food and beautiful personality Thank you Matt, & the whole team & thank you Fiona for looking after us every morning!
