Having decided we wanted to spend our wedding anniversary exploring the North Devon coastline, we then spent time searching for the perfect place to stay. We saw the Pyne Arms was available and decided to go for it. And we do not regret the decision. The owners were very accommodating about our late dinner booking as we spent more time out on the sea than planned. The room was spacious and well-furnished - and we very much appreciated the little gift that was left for us. Dinner was great - we both had the curry - and breakfast (served between 8am and 9am) was generous, well-presented and exactly what we needed. There are only two rooms with the neighbouring room also suitable for dogs. Our fellow guests had a dog with them but we did not hear anything through the night which was peaceful with the Pyne Arms' setting being in the Devon countryside. The room overlooks a road but traffic, as you would expect, is minimal. It is very well priced and would highly recommend the Pyne Arms to couples looking for a getaway within a few miles of Combe Martin and Ilfracombe.

The pub was in the countryside, really beautiful views of the countryside, had a warm welcoming and the room was beyond expectations the bed was the best bed I’ve slept in, there was a mini fridge to store any cold drinks or food u may have, the pictures on the wall were beautiful 😻 everything about this place was amazing and I’d recommend to anyone looking to stay in Barnstaple area! The staff were also extremely lovely ☺️

Nothing Everything was great

The room was lovely, the bed really comfy and we had everything we needed (plus some lovely extra treats from Amie). Breakfast was exactly right - all the usual choices but my favourites were the gorgeous porridge and the fruit and granola. Dinners were great and I am now a big fan of homity pie! Amie really goes out of her way to make things special and all the staff were super friendly and attentive.

Hosts were perfect, breakfast was superb. We ate there the first evening and the meal was first class. Parking reserved for residents so no worries there. We had our dog with us who was made very welcome, and spoilt by the staff and owners alike. The bar in the evening is very inviting, and used by the locals which says alot for the hospitality you recieve.

The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.The room was clean and well furnished.The breakfast was well cooked and well presented.Very happy with the stay, especially happy with our evening meal served in the restaurant. Very good food,thank you

Just a minor issue!The kettle and tea and coffee tray had been positioned on top of the chest of drawers but there was no socket to plug in the kettle close by.We had to put the kettle on the window ledge when we needed to plug it in!Maybe better to move the whole tray onto the window ledge as the socket is directly below the window sill

From check in to check out, our experience was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was beautiful and every detail has been considered from homemade shortbread to a water carafe. The restaurant bar is cosy with a menu boasting delicious fare for both dinner and breakfast. This property is definitely one we would highly recommend.

Great stay. Staff all welcoming and helpful. Room comfortable with nice touches of homemade shortbread, tea and coffee with fresh milk. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. Lovely quiet location easy to find via Google maps. Wifi worked (phone signal a little weak but this is Exmoor!). Wouldn't hesitate to stay again if in the area. Great value for money

nothing

Amie and Ellis are superb hosts. They work hard and deliver a great experience. The fact that the Pyne Arms still remains a 'local' too is fantastic, and not something you can say about many pubs these days. Food, room and location are all something special.

Nothing, this places excels in every aspect

The room was beautifully decorated and had lovely little touches like homemade shortbread. Dinner was one of the best meals I've ever had, delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was served in the conservatory and was also lovely, with a good choice.

We loved it all

The entire team was incredibly accommodating and extremely kind. From allowing us to check into our room a few hours early (for a much-needed nap!) to the very kind servers at the pub for our evening meal, we had an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Be prepared to be off the grid: the area has no reception, so it's WiFi only within the bounds of the pub. And breakfast is for early risers only, as it's offered between 8-9am only.
