The hosts and the team are fabulous. Warm, welcoming and friendly, the service is second to none. The Watermans is a fabulous country pub in a lovely riverside settting. The food was beautifully cooked and presented and a big step above ' pub grub'.

We had a fabulous room, with an amazingly comfortable bed. Everything was extremely clean with great quality bed linen, towels and toileteries in the spacious bathroom. The only downside for us was that previous occupants had obviously had a dog with them and there was a slight doggy odour. It was noticeable for us as we dont have a dog but is something that could easily addressed.

This was an absolutely gorgeous 17th century Inn, which just oozed character. The location of The Watermans Arms was to die for as well. it really is a beautiful location on the edge of The River Dart, which actually flows opposite it. From the minute we walked in to the minute we left, the staff were so welcoming and friendly! There was nothing they wouldn’t do for us. My wife and I came down for 4 nights forNew Years with our 2 dogs and we felt like we were part of the family every time we walked in. Breakfast was always a brilliant start to every day. it was delicious. There was a good variety as well. A lovely cooked breakfast or a continental breakfast for those looking for something lighter. Food on the evening menu was simple, honest home cooked food which myself and my wife love. made with love and care and we thought it was delicious. The location is 20 minutes from a variety of walks and activities that are ideal for those with dogs. We were able to spend our days walking the costal paths with our dogs allowing them to swim in the sea, run around in the woods, the fields or parks. We are even able to meet some seals during our day trips walking to the various costal coves. After long days out, it was always wonderful to come back and feel like we were coming back home. Simply wonderful and we will definitely be coming back 😃

We have no complaints about anything whatsoever. if there was one thing the rooms could benefit from, it would be a fridge, but that is us being absolutely uber critical. we have nothing bad or negative to say about The Watermans Arms at all.

This was my third time staying at this very special country pub. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. My room was spacious, clean, warm and comfortable, which was ideal for me as I was on a writing retreat. A great breakfast is included and other meals were tasty. The location is wonderfully peaceful, with the lovely River Harbourne and Bow Bridge just outside the main entrance to the pub. I would highly recommend the Waterman's Arms if you like a rural setting and enjoy friendly service and comfort.

Nothing.

Breakfast and dinner were excellent and the staff were friendly. Food was good and the atmosphere was good but very quiet as it is off season. The inn was hard to find as the satnav wasn't helping. We asked for directions from someone in Totnes. Very narrow roads were wet with the rain storms.

We had issues with tv on the second night with it being hard to access certain stations. The sleeping accommodations were good but the bathroom needs a better toilet seat and upgraded accessories for a 4 star establishment

The staff went above and beyond to meet our needs and wishes. We had come from a really exhausting trip and they made us breakfast which we could take up to our rooms and have in bed just as we needed. They provided everything we needed with a lovely positive and bubbly attitude. Could not have asked for more. It was the totally the staff that made it for us, let alone the stunning location

The only thing I would say is that it was further out than I had expected and if you don't have a car and cannot get a taxi, walking can be a long haul. Walking is possible and there is a STUNNING public footpath all the way in to Totnes which is where we were going, but every day, twice a day if you're not used to it can be tough but SUPER rewarding :-)

All the staff are amazing they are so adaptable to your needs your care and your attention. The pub itself is a traditional country pub. Great to stop off and have something to eat and drink after a nice walk or enjoy their accommodation if you fancy a stopover. Ample parking and next to a river so you get that beautiful sound as you wake in the morning of water and birds.

You will get some noise in the evenings from the bar if you're above the bar area for your rooms so please be aware that you may get some karaoke noise.

Tip: When you search by navigation app use the post code!!! There are two pubs with the same name! The staff were very welcoming and dog friendly! We had dinner and loved the food. It was nice and clean throughout, including the carpets in the restaurant and bar. Often in pubs you find that the carpets in the public areas are quite stained. Not here. Noticeably clean.

The bathroom had no window and smelled damp. We kept the fan running for a while which helped a bit.

Second stay here, both over the New Year period. Character field riverside pub. Lovely walks on the doorstep and nearby. Brilliant stage who make the occasion special. Of particular mention is the quality of the food. We had exceptional dinners and very well cooked breakfasts.

Room was quite small but you are of course tied to what you have with an old period property.

The Waterman's Arms is a charming, traditional country pub in a heavenly location. It is family run, friendly and relaxed. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with all we needed for our stay. The gardens are kept beautifully and there is a lovely atmosphere throughout. The food was average pub grub - the complimentary breakfast was plentiful. On the whole, the staff were attentive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be returning.

All good - no comment.

Well run inn, friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Breakfast was great; the place was peaceful.

I think by insulating the windows etc. better, the inn could save on heating; heating had to be on constantly to counteract the draft through the windows. It's a seventeenth-century building though, so not sure if it's listed and such improvements are straightforward!
