Welcome inn for tired cyclists.

After a fairly tough bike ride from Totnes the inn was very welcoming and friendly. The staff were lovely and showed us where we could securely leave our bikes. The breakfast was excellent.

Another Fabulous stay at The Cromwell Arms. It truly is a Pleasure to always give this place a visit when we’re in Devon. We booked a double room, excellent bed and such a great sleep. Room has free WiFi, Tea/Coffee/Milk, Kettle ect… The only criticism I’d make is the tv in the corner wasn’t in the best place to watch as after a while our neck began to ache with facing to the right for so long, also tv could do with being a little larger. The property has a Car Park, also with disabled spaces too, a Beer garden and very dog friendly. Shops nearby like Tesco express. We had dinner at the Cromwell. I had the Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding Sunday dinner and my Husband had the Roast Turkey & Stuffing Sunday dinner, all came with seasonal vegetables and gravy. It was cooked to perfection and delicious too. I couldn’t manage a pudding but my Husband did and he chose Apple & Pear Crumble with custard and enjoyed every mouthful. After a Great sleep we were looking forward to the Breakfast and having been many times before we knew what was coming. I had to have the Eggs Benedict and my Husband had The Full English, both cooked to perfection using all great produce, fresh bread for your toast, apple juice as well as orange juice, a choice of cereals, fresh fruit & yogurts and tea/coffee. Thank you for a wonderful stay, and to all staff who were truly amazing, very polite and helpful keep up the great job you all do so very well. We hope to see you again soon. xxx Mrs M Watson.

Stayed here before, hence why I’ve returned. The food is great, excellent range of beers and ciders. The staff are brilliant, they go above and beyond. I had to leave early in the morning, so they made me a breakfast barm to go, brilliant service. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area, highly recommend!

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
