What a gem.

This was an unscheduled stop on route to Cornwall due to bad weather. What a pleasant surprise, a beautiful old Inn a short distance from the A30. The staff were friendly and helpful, great service a lovely evening meal and an excellent breakfast. We will definitely be returning with hopefully better weather.

Honest British Reviewer

Outstanding from beginning to end. Great staff, great room, Loved the 4 poster bed, great evening meal (we had lamb dinner and mushroom gnocchi) quality good food. Were planning to go back near Christmas as it was such an all rounder great stay. Not the cheapest but nothing is cheap nowadays and the old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ applies here.

Great pub with rooms

Turning up late, they kept the kitchen open for me and the food was excellent (and again in the morning!) History is palpable throughout but the creature comforts are well taken care of

Interesting hotel with lots of history

A warm welcome on arrival. Very fruendly landlord. Excellent food in the restaurant and a good breakfast cooked to order. Our room was spacious and clean. The only negative from me was that the mattress in the Bovey room was thin and I could feel the springs, so not the best nights sleep.
