Amazing, well worth a visit.

We arrived at the “who’d have thought it”, to an amazing welcome. All of the staff was exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. The room was spotless and welcoming, while we were there we had a meal in their restaurant and again very friendly staff and the meal was fantastic. We will definitely be booking again to come back.

A really old pub in a remote part of the Tamar Valley AONB with lots of character. The meal that we had was excellent and there was a good selection of wines to choose from. The accommodation was also excellent and way above what we were expecting for a B&B attached to a pub. The staff were very friendly and made us really welcome. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

Nice rural location in Dartmoor village. Room nice but small. Cleanliness poor, spiders and webs in corners. Earliest breakfast time 9:00am is too late when you have plans for the day. TV too small, around 19" and smaller than regular computer monitor. No window other than skylight. Room lighting poor. No full length mirror, no shower mat. Toilet not flushing properly.

We stumbled upon this place by accident. What a great find! Quaint little village set in a tiny valley with a river running thru it. Pheasants scurrying about the daffodils. Beautiful. Nice room. Both dinner and breakfast were very good. The best sausages I’ve had since arriving in the UK. A great stay.

The staff were fantastic. The property had issues beyond the staffs control. No heating (waiting on a part). Apparently had Gas issues and could only cook certain foods. We did get a small oil heater for our room. The room itself was great. Comfortable and the bed was awesome. Here's a thought, if your going to be dog friendly, maybe a dog bin would be a great addition. Overall we had a nice stay, just had problems beyond our control.

Lovely traditional Devon Pub B&B

It was over 30 years ago that I last lived in Devon and this was a favourite pub. It was great to see it again pretty much as I remembered it. A warm welcome from staff, great beer and hearty food portion sizes well cooked. A pleasant room with all amenities and good shower. Excellent full breakfast and all great value for money at £90/night B&B.

Quaint & charming old pub

My husband & I recently stayed at The Who’d Have Thought It for 5 nights for our mini honeymoon. Tucked away & nestled down narrow lanes in Milton Combe on the edge of Dartmoor, is this quaint & charming old pub which really has it all. Our accommodation was clean, light & airy with a cosy king size bed, together with the relaxing sound of the nearby stream outside our window. All the staff were extremely welcoming & friendly, Matt you have a superb team there. Compliments to the chefs too for creating a range of delicious meals ( our favourite has to be the fish of the day with prawn & crab chowder, just stunning ! ). There’s a nice selection of local ales too, especially Jail & Wolf. The daily cooked breakfasts kept us filled well into the afternoon, thanks Fiona ! A proper country pub at its very best, in which we very much look forward to our next stay in 2022.

It was 16th century so quirky and pretty. Rooms were clean, bed comfy and shower powerful. Landlord was friendly and even donated to the cause we were walking on Dartmoor for! Food was amazing and although early start meant we’d miss breakfast, landlord left pain au chocolate, croissants and orange juice outside our room. Could not fault the service, highly recommended and we will stay there again.

Lovely country pub

Lovely pub with free parking. Room was very clean and comfortable. Food was good and not expensive. Pub is in a very quiet location with lovely walks. There are no shops etc in walking distance. Nice owner called to ask if I wanted ti book a table for dinner, which was just as well because it was very busy. Pub opens at 6pm and check in was at 5.30 pm when staff arrives.
