This is what I call a 'Proper Pub': great food, great atmosphere, not trying to be anything more than the true old style hostelry that is sadly disappearing from many of our towns and villages. I spent just the one night here; wish I could have stayed longer. Very comfy en suite room in this lovely old (listed?) 15th C stone and cob building that has not a straight line in any of its walls. Simple facilities, no fancy frills like complimentary toiletries or hair dryer, so ensure you bring your own if you stay. Wonderful old bedstead and brown antique furniture. I slept like a log.
The generous halloumi fajitas meal I had was terrific and great value at £14. Afterwards I enjoyed a good beer or two sat at the bar chatting with locals. As a single female guest I felt very welcome and completely at home. I might have to move to Iddesleigh...
