An interesting pub/hotel and restaurant overlooking the Teign estuary. Excellent beer, great food - I’d thoroughly recommend “steak night” - and value for money accommodation. We’ll certainly be back.

Wonderful place to stop. Staff so helpful and friendly. Great selection for breakfast and well cooked. Full English did leave you full! We didn't eat in the restaurant but the food looked good and was reasonably priced.

Don't know whether this place is still open. I rang 7 times to try and book a table, but never got an answer.

Lovely food, nice beer and friendly staff. I was in my campervan and who I think was the landlady let me stay in the carpark overnight. I will definitely go again

Highly recommend this place! Wonderful warm welcome from all the staff and Managers, excellent customer service. We stayed for a week over Christmas and everything was perfect, the atmosphere, delicious food, rooms and staff. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so friendly. Look forward to visiting again soon!

What a fabulous and festive stay. The staff just can’t do enough for you, very courteous and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is fabulous and they even put on a Buffett on Christmas Eve which is complimentary which we thought was an extra special touch. It was lovely to see that the pub has a mixture of local people and visitors which shows what a great pub this is as it was busy and used by both. Rooms very clean and modern and fabulous location. This was our first time at staying here and will definitely stay here again and recommend to others. A real gem and find. Thank you so much

Food mediocre at best, manageress Is extremely rude, if she likes you she will chat to you, if she takes a dislike to you she will completely ignore you. It’s all so unprofessional and the reason why many, many villager’s avoid using the place.

The Cockhaven was a lovely pub to eat in and also to stay at. Great food, great staff, absolutely spotless bedrooms. Very high quality of finishings. We'll definitely be back to here in the future.

Had a lovely stay here last week. Really nice setting and a cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast and main menu. Steak night Wednesday seemed popular and the Steak was soooo good. Comfortable rooms as well.

After sitting in traffic for 5 hours and eventually arriving at our lodgings, we found the Cockhaven Arms. It was fabulous, a lovely welcome and fabulous food and the home cooked pies really hit the mark. Brucey our pug said thankyou for his treats.

Have stayed here many times, the atmosphere and food is great. Emma is the most welcoming of hosts and the food Andy prepares is excellent, it's tasty and you don't leave hungry! Looking forward to coming again in June!

We stayed in room 8 which was a lovely big room with a massive bathroom with two sinks. It was quiet overnight. The food in the restaurant was very nice especially the Bass. The restaurant does get very busy so best to book a table. The staff were all very personable. Good choice at breakfast.

Fantastic service, efficient polite staff. The food was majestic, good prive and nice big portion size, I had the whitebait and it was excellent. Tartar sauce tasted home made and was excellent, salad and chips perfect. Will be back to try out that brilliant beer garden

We stayed for a night visiting family in the area, the staff were lovely throughout. Peaceful and friendly atmosphere. The room was perfect and had a terrace with a nice view of the Teign valley. We drove 10 mins down to buzzy Shaldon Beach for the evening and came back in time for some drinks at the cosy bar. Full English breakfast in the morning was great too, including a veggie accommodation for me. Would love to come back!

Always came here for a drink as a local, cold drinks and good service. Live music was a mixed bag but some of it quite good. Great view from the upper deck. Didn't try food as they did not provide the service.

An absolute delight and the best customer service i have seen in years. After a understandable mix up with my stepdaughter's order (the Mac n Cheese had just sold out, staff so busy, they hadn't had chance to take it off the menu) we were not only given a full refund, but one which had the 15% discount put back on. Such kindness by the staff was amazing. The venue itself is delightful, the food, gorgeous and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Avoid like plague! They will kick an entire family out and not honour bookings even though restaurant is empty! Awful awful service from the moody lady serving at the bar. I know that service around Devon is hit and miss but her attitude is some of the worst I’ve ever seen her in my life and I’ve seen a lot of bad service. So here’s my experience at this place today Tuesday 1st of March: I called at 15:54 and proceeded to leave a voicemail with my booking as there was no answer. I said we will arrive around 17:30/17:40, we are a family of 6 (2 adults, 2 children, 2 babies). I figured it’s a Tuesday and booking a dinner at 17:30 not exactly busy. 2 days prior I walked in the pub and asked hours of operation and the nice young guy there told me Tuesday supper should be easy and can call during the day, I don’t need to call days in advance. I then proceed to drive for 1 hour and 15 minutes to this place. I get there 17:30 start walking towards the pub, I see a young couple in the garden eating. I then walk in, apart from 1 other person the place was totally EMPTY…just like you would expect on a Tuesday at 17:30! I look around for someone but there was nobody there so I proceed to walk to the bar. Behind the bar the lady I was mentioning, she was serving a couple at the bar having some drinks. I then ask her politely “excuse me, who do I need to talk to about a reservation at the restaurant?”. She answers back snarky “me once im done here”. I’m like oh wow she’s really in a good mood. I wait for a few minutes she then walks behind the bar to her computer. She asks me if I have a reservation, i then tell her I called an hour and a half ago and left a voicemail. She replies saying oh I haven’t got any voicemails and just looks at the phone on wall without checking or anything like that. Obviously she was totally bs’ing me. She then asks how many people and when. I say now and we are 2 adults, 2 young children and 2 babies. She says “we are too busy we have a local dinner / local event tonight and only 1 chef we don’t have space.” I reply back “but I booked the place by leaving a voicemail, the restaurant is now empty (surely this event is not at 5:30pm???) and I drove over an hour with 4 hungry children to come here”. I even showed her the phone number I dialled in my phone and she confirmed it’s the right one. She then looks me straight in the eye and says “sorry…I can book you for dinner tomorrow” and proceeds to walk back to the bar. Great service right? Now I go back to the car and as my wife got all the kids out i tell her to put everyone back in. Obviously everyone screaming and hungry so have to find new place for dinner. I then drove for 10 minutes to nearby Bovey Castle (thank god this place is nearby) who had no trouble offering us dinner without a booking. If the owner sees the message I would appreciate if you could leave some contact details. This type of behaviour from staff is totally unacceptable and owner needs to be aware of it!
