another boozer with carpets blatantly soaking up the urine! you'd think sour faced landlady could invest in a bit of rug soap tight mare that she is. when i'm partaking of ale the eau de la yellow isn't a welcome fragrance that's for bleedin' sure!

Love this place! Been an inn since 1447. Always 4 local real ales on the pump, local ciders too and a huge range of whiskies (I even tried a Welsh one in there the other day!) Excellent food - and the landlady's a vegetarian so vegetarians are well catered for too. Charming and quirky staff. And if you want to make a night of it, bedrooms with enormous and comfortable four poster beds so you only have to make it up the stairs. I live in Newquay but have become a regular here! Present owners have only had it about two years so any adverse comments that pre-date their ownership are out of date.

Wonderful old inn in a beautiful Dartmoor village. The bar is full of history but unfortunately when I visited so was the beer! I took the first pint back and tried the other barrel but it wasn't much better. I'd like to go back but not sure if I'll risk it.

Visited here a fews years ago after a long walk on the moors.
Lovely inside very cosy (has a monalith in one of the back rooms).
The building is very old and impressive. The beer garden is one of the finest i can remember seeing anywhere.
Had four pints and loved every minute here.
10/10

Stopped off for a drink here one day last week. Young lady behind the bar took 10 minutes to work out how much a pint and a glass of wine cost and how much change to give me. We were going to eat here but the dinner menu was so expensive.
|
stunning little pub, cracking food and Phil the barman there gave us a fantastic night and made us feel very special.
Hope he enjoyed our music!!

|
wonderful area, wonderful pub - a slice of old country England run by people who care.
Pints of Doom Bar and Cornish for the taste buds.

Excellent pub dating back to the 15th century. Has a large wine 'cellar' on your right as you enter and two separate stoneclad bar areas. A very nice looking exterior and a friendly welcome make this pub well worth seeking out.

Wonderfull pub, good beer, good atmosphere, friendly staff.....the garden has that brooding edge of moorland feel perfect !
Especailly worth a visit during the Dartmoor folk festival.
|
Great food and great beer. Usually a very warm welcome - can be a challenge with children.

A beautiful building in a beautiful setting with good real ale and nice food.
