Church House Inn in South Hams

Beautiful very old, frienldy Inn, food was brilliant and the atmosphere was great!

Lovely pub with friendly staff and good beer. Food was enjoyable for a lunch

Delicious Sunday roasts! Good portions, good ambience, friendly staff. Music a tiny bit too loud but overall a pleasant atmosphere and it did not take away from our experience.

Loved this place, pints were nice, wine was good. Had a lovely time!

Our favourite village pub! Amazing hospitality, great food and a lovely welcoming vibe. Tom, Tina and little Andrew are such friendly hosts, and have transformed the pub over the last couple of years.

Lovely pub with deck chairs outside to chill on in the heat. Good food, great service, and a lovely Devon cider. Shame it doesn't open more during the week as we stayed about 1 Mile away and would have been there more.

Fantastic place! The food is really good! Gluten-free requirements catered for above and beyond expectations. I can not praise the chef enough! Bar and serving staff were friendly and accommodating, and the whole place felt welcoming. I will definitely be back. Thank you

It's great, a picturesque little town with a pub where you can eat well and relax.

What a fabulous pub, lots of character, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. We didn't eat, but the food did look amazing, next time we will visit to eat. Very well decorated place, cosy but spacious. Worth a visit for sure.

we had an excellent lunch of seabass fishcakes and chicken gyros - recommend!

Haven’t been for too long, but you should all know that this is one of the best, friendliest, prettiest, real pubs around. Really great food and drink. Owned and run by a chef and his family. What’s not to love? PS my son is a chef abroad at the moment working on a luxury yacht, been making food all over the world in the last year. When he phoned me last week, he said he is really looking forward to going to the Church House Inn when he gets back home. Honest to goodness that’s what he said to me on the phone from The Netherlands a few days ago!

Lovely friendly country pub and staff .. roast was lovely but not the best roast potatoes or yorkshire pudding but not complaining ... l would recommend it to friends

Great place for Sunday lunch after a lovely walk along the Dart. Drinks and food were excellent, including a great vegetarian option.

Best roasts in Devon, they have a delicious homemade menu with veggie options and gluten free roasts (even gravy)! Been here many times as has my whole family and WOW always such a treat. Add to the fact that it’s an incredible setting in a perfect village with the best service and delicious wines and all such good value!!

Great food and extremely friendly staff .

Great place to stop for a drink on a Sunday afternoon after a ride out over the moors. Friendly service and decent prices. Only stopped for a drink.

Nice pub. (minus 1 star due to limited light bites options - eg would be good to have say just chips on the menu rather than have to order a whole meal)

absolutely charming, traditional pub in a superb location, dripping in history and character. super friendly service and amazing Sunday lunch with great options.. It's really lovely to see a traditional village Inn thriving. It's definitely worth the trip you won't be disappointed! 😁👍👍

Great place to eat, excellent service and good, highly recommend

Incredible place. Great owners, food, ambience and super dog friendly. Go!

Best country pub I’ve ever been to! The roast dinner is absolutely the best I’ve had and the service is always so friendly and thorough. Gorgeous atmosphere especially in the main bar section with fires and lighting. We love it here!

Dog friendly, cozy, welcoming and atmospheric. A proper village pub and a credit to the landlord/lady.

Stumbled upon this cosy oasis on a cold, dark, wet evening, we were in desperate need of shelter and found the most accommodating little spot - the whole family & co. were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had a table held for us without even asking because they thought we'd like to dry our clothes by the fire, and by jove they were right. It was the perfect stay I wish it were possible to give more stars, our soles and souls are warm again thanks to them.

Always a warm welcome. Very cosy with the fires lit.

Lovely quaint pub which serves fantastic food. Great atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff

Excellent everything.A real treat from food to the service.

Perfect Sunday lunch on a trip up from London today. Great service, food cooked to a very high standard. Puddings outstanding. Best roast potatoes in long time. And the very best of all - value for money to boot. Left even happier than when I walked in and I pretty happy before I ate a thing!

Fantastic pub with great atmosphere. A roaring fire at both ends of the pub and dog friendly. Hats off to you guys

Lovely pub, recently taken over by a lovely family. So good to see it open again. The landlord shared some great ideas he's got for the place. Can't wait to return to try out their food which smelled delicious whilst we were there. Edit: we returned as promised to try out the food and we were not disappointed! My husband commented that it was the best meal he had eaten this year...don't know whether to be delighted or insulted!! 🤣 Definitely will now need to return to try out some of the other meals on the menu board. 😋

Real fires, good beer and welcoming staff

Lovely pub. Warm welcome, sat by the log burner after a walk on the moors. Great pub lunch, generous portions followed by coffee and mince pies. Delicious.

Everything a country pub should be. Warm, friendly, inviting and faultless food. Whether a local or not, it’s worth the drive

We were made to feel so welcome by the bar staff. Counted at least 2 open fires - perfect on a day like today. Food was great too, thank you.

I didn't eat but they are so friendly and welcoming I would definitely choose it for an evening out

Such a lovely place for Roast dinners and post walk pints

One of the best pub experiences I've ever had. Food, drink, atmosphere were all superb. Will be coming back a lot!

What a great pub. Food gets 5/5 stars not because it's particularly gastro or anything, but because it's good hearty pub food of the sort you'd hope to get in a pub. Service would get 10 stars if that was an option. And 5/5 for atmosphere too - a friendly buzz on a Saturday evening but also very chilled, relaxed and relaxing. A benchmark for all country pubs.

Six of us descended after a walk on the moors. Debating what meat was likely to be on offer was delighted to see that all options were covered. Most of us went for pork, with one lamb and a couple of turkey and ham pies. All served with a good selection of veg, ample portions and good service. Some of us managed pudding, quite expensive but equally good to eat. Washed down with a local real ale all in all good value. Very busy, sunshine helped but would suggest best to reserve

Great room, great food great staff, great beer

Friendly staff, amazing food and intriguing and cosy historical building in a beautiful setting. Sausage sandwiches were spot on and cakes for dessert were delicious. Casual laid-back atmosphere, dogs welcome.

We visited for Sunday lunch. Excellent choice on the menu, made to feel very welcome and the food was delicious. Very cosy inside with the fires lit on a cool day.

Such a fantastic meal, when I stayed in Devon for the summer, we went many Sundays are took different people with us who also enjoyed it very much, will be back next year x

To say the food was good would be a colossal understatement! Best fish pie I’ve ever had and I’ve had a few. Extremely friendly, welcoming establishment. I will remember my meal for many years to come. Top shelf and highly recommended.

Beautiful setting, delicious food and friendly staff. The vegan burger and chips was one of the best I've ever had.

Great food and friendly staff. The pub is very inviting and cosy and it's wonderful to sit outside in the sun. There are vegetarian and vegan food options - the chips are amazing!

Excellent Sunday lunch. Roast beef and roast pork were lovely. Great selection of ales. Staff were very welcoming and service was very prompt. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be going back in the future. Well done Tom, Tina and the team.

Outstanding hospitality shown by Tom & Tina. Great place to have an overnight stay if doing the Two Moors Way. Arrived wet and cold and really cared for by Tom & Tina. The bedrooms were clean, fresh, spacious. Had one double room and one twin room. Both were considered excellent. Food was superb, with a very varied and exciting menu. Very highly recommended.

Often walk this beautiful part of Dartmoor and so happy to come across this lovely village pub. Excellent homemade but varied menu. Plus such friendly & helpful staff. Will def be back the next time we roam.

Lovely old building, beautiful food and very helpful staff

I had a great experience here while backpacking on Dartmoor, good beer and food for the price. The staff were friendly and really helpful, even though they were really busy. Big thumbs up from me.

Great lunch in this lovely spot. Very relaxed atmosphere and some lovely cooking...

This pub is fantastic! Amazingly food. Best Sunday roast I have had for ages. Good value. We even had a sea shanty sing along on Saturday night. So friendly with lovely landlord and landlady and bar staff. Lovely village setting perfect for long moorland walks. I will be back! Thank you.

Lovely little quirky pub, great tea and coffee, wonderful friendly, chatty staff, was made to feel ‘at home’ thankyou!

Fantastic food huge portions had belly pork superb

Sunday roast, pork was great, came out reasonably swiftly, food service was great, a little queue on the bar but it was busy, overall pretty good

Amazing 5 star. We went here after a beautiful 30km walk on Dartmoor. Warmly greeted by a amazing bar/waiting woman. She couldn’t have done any more for me even if she tried. The food was very generously proportioned and very tasty, I took away a doggy bag that this lady suggested! Amazing decor all the staff were just brilliant. Couldn’t recommend enough. I will definitely be. Back for a Sunday roast!

Very nice Dinner, friendly atmosphere, Thank you for opening on bank Holiday

The Church House Inn at Holne is a real hidden gem. Friendly staff, that actually like being there, great tasting food that is locally sourced, good beer, great atmosphere. Just what we needed after a walk on the moor. If I lived closer to it, I'd make it my local!

I absolutely love this pub. Discovered it a few months ago and have been back several times. The staff are welcoming (it's family run) and the pub is beautiful inside. The food is home cooked (even the chips are home made!) I have never had a bad meal here. I once commented I love apple sauce and since then whenever I order a meal they bring out a small bowl of some. They really do make the effort to make you welcome. They welcome dogs too which is a bonus. I believe they are soon opening rooms upstairs for b&b. As it's a really old pub I expect these will be quite quirky rooms. I'd definitely recommend visiting for food and a warm welcome.

Very nice meal. The pub is nice and cozy and the staff are super kind.

Great building, great location, attentive owners and staff, generous portions, well cooked food. A most satisfactory experience we hope to repeat!

Was ff zoeken maar gevonden, gezellige Engelse pub met vriendelijk personeel waar je lekker kunt eten. Aanrader!

Visited here on a very wet hike with a few friends and the staff let us wait out the rain for a while. All staff were very friendly and kindly brought out some (very tasty) food for us whilst we were drying off. I would...

We stopped off here after a pretty brutal bike ride around Dartmoor. The portions were fab, great value for money. It was exactly what we needed to give us an extra push back to the campsite! I had a great helping of fish and chips, while my partner had the Thai fishcakes. Cannot recommend enough, especially with a crisp cider!

Friendly and welcoming free house with a great selection of beers and a good menu. Generous portions! Try the fish finger sandwich, but only if you are hungry. An idyllic village pub.

Excellent lunch at the Church House Inn. Super friendly and welcoming. My sister and I both had a “warming” chilli con carne! It was delicious and I would highly recommend. Best chilli I think I’ve never had. Chef was really kind and landlady did a...

Awesome place with good food and nice staff

Just stopped in for some dessert on the way home, warm welcome great atmosphere and freshly make desserts really enjoyed, we saw some amazing looking dishes coming out the kitchen will definitely be back for mains next time.😊

Excellent all round ...T and T ( licensee's ) grub is so good , a happy crew and a cosy pub ...........what more can I say ? Given the history from afew years ago , the renaisscence of this venerable old pub is amazing.

We've been coming to the Church House for several months, its by far the best pub for food we've come across for years. We travel from Taunton for the Sunday Roasts, they're amazing with generous portions and always perfectly cooked. The hospitality is wonderful, very welcoming and offer their 'nanny service' to help with baby whilst we eat. I've never been anywhere to offer this, it's an original USP. We can't recommend CHI enough, it's a true hidden gem.

We love this pub, especially after a swim down in the Dart. Fantastic cider selection, lovely outside tables, cosy inside and the family running it are always friendly. Will keep coming back!

A lovely place. Didn't have food but it looked very nice. Very slow service at the bar.

Two of us had a fantastic meal this afternoon and the food and service were first class. We even had a bit of entertainment from Rod who I'm sure is much better earlier in the day,but a great local character who sort of plays guitar and sings. Thanks for a lovely afternoon we will certainly return again.

Beautiful lunch. Food was absolutely perfect. Lots of it too. Homemade coleslaw and chilli sauce complimented the lamb kebab . And the quality of the meal was superb

We ate here four nights running, we hadn't intended to but the food, service and general friendliness of the place was so good we didn't want to go anywhere else. Tom, Tina and their team team should be congratulated on the way they run the...

We stumbled across this pub by chance and what an amazing time we had! On the Saturday evening the pub was holding a cider festival with bands playing and the atmosphere was amazing! The staff were so efficient and helpful especially Jane!! The food was...

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food, somewhere I would go out of my way to revisit. Lovely to see deckchairs outside and a sense that this is a place lacking in conformity, thank goodness.

Gorgeous village pub, great atmosphere, fantastic food and great selection of local ale’s.

Well kept ale and unbelievable pies. Don’t eat for 2 days before you go! The landlord pointed us in the right direction to a campsite on Dartmoor where we stayed the night. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Been coming here for years, so lovey to be greeted by people who seem to enjoy being in the hospitality business - thank you

Excellent meal and service. Great choice of drinks. Lovely pub.

First visit, and what a lovely warm welcome to an atmospheric Inn in a peaceful Devon village. Fabulous Sunday lunch cooked to perfection and generous portions. Looking forward to returning to sample more delights!

Found this little gem after walking on Dartmoor. Had the roast pork. Fantastic food and what a great little pub. Staff friendly and welcoming. Will definitely revisit again

A gorgeous old pub , full of character to take you back to the old days . Staff are really friendly and extremely pleasant . Wife and I had two evening meals there . Very good menu to choose from and very generous portions ....

Beautiful food, in a lovely place, nice staff. Booking needed because it fills up so quickly

We stumbled across this gem after going the wrong way on a bike ride and what a stumble!! The most friendly and warm of welcomes, followed by delicious pub grub but don't be fooled, this was fresh and delicious...nothing mediocre and frozen in sight!!! Would definitely reccomend!!

Came in from walking the moors and found a lovely cosy atmosphere, log fire and plenty of dogs. Roast was fantastic and the beer great. Family run, with great service. Marvellous!!

Good food at arguably over inflated prices (£17 for fish and chips needs to be excellent and this wasn't) but given current climate I guess it's not surprising. A place I've been to many times over the years and current owners are doing a decent job with it.

Fairly recently reopened but with restricted hours - show check first. Very friendly staff. Good menu and good range of beers and ciders. Old-style pub inside (quality though). Parking not ideal, but it is a Devon village! Very handy for those having just walked on Dartmoor.

Excellent Sunday roast, good selection of beers and ciders.

Cosy village pub with superb food at reasonable prices. Friendly, accomodating staff

A nice olden pub in/near dartmoor. Great chocolate fudge cake

My wife and I went out with another couple of friends we had known for ages and as we live about 10mins away , we drove the lovely Devon lane to this fine example of an English village pup. We had a lovely meal and...

Great atmosphere and good honest pub grub

Great food, good beer and very warm welcome. Highly recommended hidden gem of a pub.

Lovely rediscovery for us!! Super,varied menu served by family staff from Thursday lunch to Sunday late lunch😋😋This is a jewel of a hostelry set in the superb scenery of Dartmoor...friendly,welcoming and attentive staff do everything possible to ensure your stay is perfect for you!! We didn't eat this time ..will next...but all the food served looked and smelt delicious! We sat outside in the sun at one of their many comfy tables..the setting is peaceful and attractive with pretty cottages and lack of traffic!! Loved it and now have again a delightful destination for our trips on Dartmoor🤗🕊️🪻🌿🌾🌼🏵️🌷!!

What a great find after a walk at Newbridge. A real and proper Pub !!

After a walk on the moor,this genuine olde world pub is a great place to relax , firstly in the sunshine outside, then inside to eat. We both had Steak & Stilton Pie which was large and very enjoyable & despite our long walk we...

This is such a lovely little pub. The owners have made it their project and it shows. The decor is cosy, the beer and drinks are excellent and reasonable. The staff are super friendly. The menu is good. What's not to love?

Just had drinks, staff very friendly.
