| This was another extremely quiet Dartmoor pub on our Saturday evening visit, with just one other customer, the barmaid, landlord and landlady (plus their dog) around. It's a well kept pub, with an obvious elephant theme. It's also a typical country pub. Sharps Doom Bar, Dartmoor Jail Ale & Otter Bright were the beers. Winkleigh Autumn Devon Scrumpy was the cask cider. If it's peace and quiet you're after with your pint, this may just be the place for you. I recommend it either way. blue_scrumpy - 13 Jan 2012 20:18 |
| Enjoyed it a lot, despite being food-dominated (e.g. service charge added automatically) - Palmers was good-ish, the pub has real multi-roomed character, and food was great. mtaylor40 - 9 Jun 2011 21:50 |
| went here for meal in may 2010. the view is magnificent and the garden beautiful. the food was perfect and well priced. it didnt take long and the desserts were a picture. there is a good range of beers and lagers, and wines. it made a very enjoyable occassion. thelawyer - 27 May 2010 14:10 |
| Wonderful weekend spent in the Nest. The menu was brilliant and the three meals we had were cooked and presented very well. The room was absolutely wonderful and PERFECTLY CLEAN. Great selection for breakfast - not often do you get offered scallops and bacon. The Landlord & Lady couldn't have been more pleasant, so I wouldn't take the previous reviews too seriously. I think it is probably fair to say the Landlord doesn't suffer fools gladly. Jimbo74 - 24 Nov 2008 23:04 |
| If you want a warm welcome DON'T BOTHER. If you want a clean room, DON'T BOTHER, mugs/glasses dirty, floor dirty, cobwebs and spiders in most corners! Sound proofing non-existent, mine hosts in and out all evening and night banging doors. Decided not to eat there as room so dirty, and landlord so unwelcoming went elsewhere to eat even though I was staying there. What a rude foul mouthed couple running it!! I'm sure they didn't intend me to hear what they were saying thinking I was arriving for breakfast 20 mins before the kitchen closed but I did! NEVER AGAIN – there are plenty of good places avoid this one! Focus57 - 17 Aug 2008 18:25 |
