I was very happy with my stay at the Cromwell Arms. I booked late and had a room on the second floor, up very steep stairs. It was a struggle for me. Next time I will book earlier. The breakfast was very good. The staff were helpful

OK if you have to stay in Bovey.

Friendly staff and a nice breakfast. Dinner was mostly out of packets as far as I could tell, the rooms a bit tired with a fair bit of noise from the high street (not their fault!). A ridiculous sign saying you could only eat and drink things in your room purchased from the hotel - felt like flying Ryan Air.

Really nice bear garden to relax after a long days work, great local beers. The staff are absolutely amazing, go above and beyond. I visited on a business trip, having to leave early each day at 7am, thus missing breakfast. When the bar staff heard this, they arranged for a breakfast to go for me each morning. I thought this was a great touch, couldn’t ask for anymore. The food in the restaurant was outstanding, suck an enjoyable stay. The location has such character, floorboards creak, you name it but I’d definitely recommend 100%!!!

Home from Home

Another fabulous stay at Cromwell Arms. We stayed in a double room, and my brothers had a twin room all with tea/coffee facilities, tv and shower room with towels and complimentary shower gel, shampoo & soaps. The bed was so comfortable and as we couldn’t open the window they had left us a fan on in the room which was so thoughtful as it was a very warm day and room was so cool. We decided to eat at the Cromwell Arms as when we stayed last year the food was very good and homemade with great quality produce. I had the Sirloin & King Prawn, husband had Katsu Chicken Curry & Rice, and my Brothers the Homemade Beefburger all delicious. So full after we couldn’t even manage a pudding which i was really looking forward to as they had my favourite Melt in the middle chocolate fondant and ice cream but will definitely leave room next time we are down which should be hopefully round beginning of June. Breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious. I had Eggs Benedict, and the rest had a Full English. The Cromwell Arms is a lovely friendly pub and felt very welcomed. Thanks again x

Lovely stay in Devon Country Pub

Really lovely country pub in Bovey Tracey, just within Dartmoor National Park. Friendly staff and the food is delicious. We brought our dog with us too and they were very friendly and accommodating to her and us. The room was huge and bed very comfortable. Excellent value for money.

Stayed there a few times now, whist working in Bovey Tracey. I won’t again tho.. it’s a very active pub - and the last two times I’ve stayed, it’s too noisy. Between good and busy beer garden (and stragglers after closing) and open mic nights.. it’s no good for me when I need to be up for work at 8! Lovely people tho!!
