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 Present owners have only had it about two years so any adverse comments that pre-date their ownership are out of date.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 !

Great food and great beer. Usually a very warm welcome - can be a challenge with children.
