| The above reviews are obviously out of date, and I would assume it was then a very old and traditional Pub. The original building parts are hundreds of years old. So I've missed a treat here ..... my kind of Pub ! However we eat and drank there in September this year. The Village Inn is sited at the southern end of the tiny village of Thurlestone in the South Hams of Devon. Some time back it was taken over by the sizeable Thurlestone Hotel .... which is situated immediately behind the pub. The bar areas have been "modernised" to typical standards, so are not the cozy, inglenooked, carpeted, and horse-brassed inns of old. It is however spacious, clean, well staffed and friendly. Due to the hotel connection, the food was excellent and waiting time was minimal ........ we went at lunch times, though booking is always advisable for evenings and busy periods. Important to some folk is the fact that it was a dog friendly pub, and the meals on menu could be ordered as a take-away! Excellent if you want to stay in your holiday cottage with dogs rather than take your mutt to a busy evening meal-time. The beers were St. Austell's Doombar and Tribute ...... a fave for us ..... and Palmers Ales ...... a Devon brew. .... also very tasty, Parking in the village is at a premium, but there is an overflow car park for pub and hotel users nearly opposite. There's no garden, so children will have to be kept close, especially if sitting outside the front on the several bench tables behind a low wall which is road-side. Also of note is the fact that the pub was the best place we found to get a mobile signal ...... what an excellent excuse to have a pint ! bobec - 20 Oct 2015 14:34 |

| A great little village pub which has been owned by the same family for over 100 years. Serving fantastic food, and a great selection of real ales from around the South West, this village pub is a must see. The area surrounding the pub is also picturesque and worth a walk after feasting on the lunchtime menu Ian Doust - 25 Apr 2005 22:00 |
