Lovely place in the middle of nowhere very peaceful. Had rooms inside the pub and chalet style room outside at the back of the pub beer garden. Rooms were clean and tidy, comfortable and just right for what we needed to go out and explore Devon. The breakfast was delicious! And the whole booking was well worth the price. We even had a holiday kitty cat who kept finding way to get in to our chalet room for cuddles.

Just a heads up, The garden rooms are down a bit of a steep hill at the back of the beer garden and the restaurant was up some steep steps, so people with mobility issues may have a problem. Some of the younger members of staff in the restaurant need a little more training as a few issue with the communication, wrong orders and long wait. And had a few issues with parking in the square as it is shared for residents and customers and limited space as peak times. However the only thing that I did not like was the rooster waking everyone up at 6am for about an hour, it’s charming in a way unless you wanted to sleep.

Spacious living area. Very clean . Rooms serviced when wanted. It was the little things that made a difference such as leaving biscuits every day for your entire stay. Lovely friendly service. Varied yummy menu . Varied breakfast that was delicious. Locals are very friendly. Spectacular views from our pod cabin, adjacent to the pub. The ambience in their restaurant has soothing piped chill music whilst eating. Really good service too. The pub has a snooker table. The pub is very convenient to Exmoor and all other areas e.g Barnstaple town which is only 30 mins drive. Didn't hurt the wallet especially with booking with booking.com What was special sleeping in pods which were adjacent to the pub was that I could hear and see the birds that were busy doing their thing especially in the mornings rather than hearing traffic!It Went home totally chilled out. We will definitely be returning. Giving the pub 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 😎

Couldn't fault

Stayed here with a group of friends on classic motorcycles. The hardstanding outside the lodges was a bonus to park the bikes on. The lodges were clean with comfortable beds and some fantastic views ! The short driveway from the lodges up to the road, past the pub is a bit steep, so care is needed when wet. Breakfast was included and we ate in the pub for evening meals - plenty of choice a no complaints !

One of the rooms had a problem, so a couple of our group were moved to another room in the pub. This, unfortunately, overlooked the pub garden, so there was a fair bit of noise late into the night.

Food excellent, surroundings beautiful, staff lovely.

Though the room was overall fine a couple of things that could improve it. 1. have some sort of shelf to put wash bags on rather than on the floor. 2. the emergency lighting was really bad and the room was like daylight. The emergency exit by the door was so bright, then when we covered that the smoke alarm green light right over the bed was like a bright green over head light that illuminated the whole room, what with the red lights from the TV over all as far as sleep hygiene is poor and as the reason we pay over £100 for a room is to sleep its stupid that there is so much light. I get it you need emergency facilites but Im better off in a tent in the field.

When I arrived it was obvious the pub had had a recent makeover and was very fresh. Went inside and booked in easily and was shown to my room. On the way through we passed through the restaurant which was twice the size of the pub and came as a big surprise with a great view over the fields. Anyway, I put my stuff in the room and went down for dinner. The menu, though not big, had quite a few things on that I was happy with so ordered the Steak and Ale pie. 20 mins later and I was indulging in the best pie I've ever had in any pub. Meal finished, I went back to the bar which was now quite lively with locals and holiday makers alike. Slept well and down for my full English breakfast. Again very well presented and full of flavour. Win Win all round and at £72 at the height of the season, you'd be mad to think any different. Definitely recommend.

Ok the room wasn't the best, a bit tired around the edges but it had everything I needed and in no way did the decor distract from the overall pleasantness of the whole thing.

Really friendly staff, and good location. They took they were accomodatig with our choices to customize the "Full English" breakfast. Food in the evening was fabulous! Garden view in the dining area is also very good. We had a small light / lamp issue in the bathroom @10pm and they happily fixed that very quickly. Very friendly lady who helped us with check-in and the lamp issue. Breakfast staff also very friendly.

Breakfast options can be improved and some healthy options can be added. Though I understand it's an old era building, Access to the room can be improved a little, but not too much issue once you are inside.

The staff were freindly and gave good advice on places to go. The room was clean and modern. The garden was nice and there was a space to let the dogs walk. The cooked breakfasts were great but the GF food was limited. There was a good selection of drinks.

The mole room was somewhat on the small size, it did not have any hanging space. I appreciate a wardrobe wouldn't fit, but a four hanger above the radiator and one on the wall near the door, then one on the wall in the bathroom, oh and a new toilet brush would be great.

We hadn't explored all of the details and booked on the basis of dining there last summer. We'd expected to be in a room in the attached extension but in fact were in one of the lodges lower down below the inn. Very pleasant room, spacious ensuite and shower cubicle and bed very comfortable. Dinner was well prepared and cooked but the portions of fish and chips were too large for me. Breakfast very good. The whimsical metal figures scattered around the site were lovely. The nearby community shop was handy and worth supporting.

A minor point was the sloping roof meant it wasn't possible to sit up in bed for reading and a second chair would have been useful. Car parking in the square opposite so a bit hit and miss.

Very friendly welcome throughout the whole stay from the lady who showed us the accommodation, to the bar & restaurant staff. The accommodation is in individual lodges at a lower level behind the pub. You just walk down a slope past an ample beer garden. Being away from the pub and the passing road it was very quiet and peaceful. The lodges are immaculately clean with a huge bathroom containing a shower. Couldn’t fault at all. The pub also did evening meals which we took advantage of and was not disappointed at all. The pub restaurant looked very popular with locals and guests alike as there was a steady stream of diners and customers in the pub. The breakfast next morning was delicious and hot. A well deserved 10/10.

Nothing at all.

Stayed in Bluebell"lodge", very clean, comfy bed,smashing bed linen. Towels alittle tired. Smashing view.

Definitely not suitable for wheelchair, walking or breathing issues. Walk to rooms and beer garden, very very steep. Bar & garden need of proper Sping clean. The biggest let down, NO WHERE to sit. Come back after smashing day out, into pub for a drink, you either stand, perch on bare railway sleeper window ledge or high bar stools, same after evening meal. Not a cushion in sight. Very friendly staff, good breakfast & evening meal. Parking not great but thats due to geography, you can't have magnificent valleys and dales and expext flat parking
