Thoroughly recommended

I love this little pub - second time I’ve stayed here while passing through. The owners and staff are lovely, the food is nice, the rooms are comfortable, and the area is stunningly gorgeous - I’ve been on some great walks along the Dart River and the other way onto Dartmoor. It’d be a great place to stay for a walking trip.

Decent Small Village Pub

A decent small village pub right on the 2-Moors Way. They stock a reasonable range of home-cooked food, a variety of locally brewed beers (eg. Dartmoor & Bay), plus a massive variety of whiskies. The top floor 'suite' has sharply sloping ceilings, so take care if you are up there! We had a peek in the other rooms whilst there too, which are all very nice.

Lovely place

The access road is very narrow, single lane for a long time. I probably wouldn't have gone if I'd known as I was just after somewhere to sleep for one night. Once there it was lovely though and the bed was very comfy. Beautiful surroundings, lovely host. Very quiet. Everything you want from a place to sleep for the night.
