Watermans Arms, Totnes

This pub is located towards the bottom end of Totnes and can be accessed by a long, long alley from the main Fore Street. Once inside, it is the type of pub that you will experience many characters, and the type of characters that will and only frequent the one pub. It is the cheapest pub in town and therefore and the landlord admits 'it's a drinkers pub'....There are no gimmicks, no adverts, an excellent jukebox and always a good tasting fresh ale or two. It is a freehouse also. The service is great, usually by the landlord himself. It's a great pub for a pint or two....comfortable, small, clean and friendly

The Kings Arms Hotel, Buckfastleigh

The Kings Head is split into two bars which are entered via a main lobby. The 'sports bar' on the right has a jackpot machine, dart board, sport screen and pool table. The main congregation of this area is a mixed younger crowd, there isn't bad language or any bad vibes. The main bar is long and does consist of some very comfortable settees. There is always two local ales, mainly Cotleigh. They are always of a good standard at £3 a pint. The clientele are friendly, mixed between locals and blow-ins. The landlord is decent and solid. The walled beer garden is very well tended too - with an abundance of different flowers to join you for a midsummers pint.

The Watermans Arms, Buckfastleigh

Visited early evening during the week. On entry, received a calm and friendly eye from everyone...sometimes in Devon, you can get a stare. The landlord was very open and amenable often joining his customers on their side of the bar...The pub had a great jukebox playing everything other than current pop. I had a Hanlon's Firefly at £3 a pint. - Very good value. I enjoyed my pint here....the atmosphere was fresh and relaxed. The clientele was a friendly mixed bag. I felt quite at home and a nice place to have a session....its one of those pubs...No gimmicks, advertisements...just a basic pub done very well...
