In the middle of nowhere we found The Pyne Arms and decided to book a room. Just a couple of minutes after our arrival we were already enjoying a drink in the sun in the small, cozy garden. The room was spotless, welcoming, and the beds felt like heaven. When we came down for dinner, we were pleasantly surprised to find the pub filled with locals, and even more surprised by the outstanding quality of the food – beautifully prepared and perfectly served by the friendly staff. And breakfast? Just like dinner: simply perfect. If you’re anywhere near The Pyne Arms, this is absolutely the place to stay!

..that we had to leave the next day.....

Staff at the pub were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They went over and above to make us feel welcome. The bedroom was beautifully presented, bed was comfortable with delicious homemade shortbread waiting for us on arrival along with a superb flat white coffee. We were grateful for good, easy to access secure bike storage. The meal both in the evening and for breakfast was beautifully presented and cooked.... an all-round superb spot to stay.

Nothing, it was perfection.

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.

Lovely friendly welcoming staff. Very busy, but fitted us in at a table to ensure we could have an evening meal. Perfect quiet location for what we required. Very clean, quiet room, even though it was attached to a busy pub. Food was great too!! Brilliant breakfast service in the morning, served with a smile, What more could you ask for!

Fan outside bedroom window, but was off overnight so didn't affect our stay.

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

Amie was extremely accommodating, providing an earlier than usual breakfast for me as I had to leave early. The food was delicious and staff are all really friendly and welcoming. I will be staying with them for future work events.

It was a little noisy downstairs but it's a pub! Nothing I couldn't manage and didn't keep me up

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.

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.

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.

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
