Unfortunately the room wasn't ready for us and was very dirty. We had to wait outside in the rain for it to be cleaned as the pub was closed. We ended up deciding to stay elsewhere as we felt uncomfortable staying in such a dirty room. Such a shame as the pub is lovely and the girl behind the bar was very helpful, as much as she could be. It's just the state of the b&b room left us feeling they didn't know we were coming.

We really enjoyed the pub and the food was nice. The rooms felt quite unclean, floor was dirty upon arrival and lots of dust everywhere, didn’t use the coffee facilities as was covered in dust. Strong mildew smell, however bed was comfortable. The shower was weak and hard to maintain a consistent temperature. Is a very small village which is peaceful. Personally won’t stay again due to smell in room & cleanliness. Very nice host who was welcoming.

Lovely country pub with loads of character. Located in a small village, in an isolated, quiet location. Warm welcome from the Land Lady and Scrappy Do. Friendly and helpful staff. Stayed two nights, room clean and comfortable with tea/coffe and TV. Free wifi, useful as there was no phone signal. Ate at the pub both nights, tasty, reasonably priced food. Recomend the Venison pie with a glass of red. Overall, an excellent stay, definately recommend. Will be staying again when back in the area.

Short Break at the Old Inn Devon

We had a lovely time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good and tasty. Room was clean and tidy. Lots of things to do in the vicinity. We walked out from the Old Inn to enjoy the local countryside and walking paths leading to part of Monarch's way. It was very easy to get to picturesque places like Branscombe, Sidmouth. Axminster and Honiton. Would come back to stay again. Still lots to see and do.

Looked after like we were family

Amazing stay! Leah and all the staff made our family so welcome the moment we walked in the door. The kids were looked after showing them the skittle alley, darts board and tele, and introduced to all the dogs who they loved! We had plans nearby in the evening but could have happily stayed in the lovely pub all night!

Wonderful from start to finish! Beautiful rooms which are set round the back of the pub and are more like little houses! Felt so safe and slept so well, the beds are like clouds! Beautiful quaint little pub where we had our breakfast the next day which was cooked to perfection! Leah was very attentive and the perfect host. The rooms were very clean and had everything you need!
