Devils Stone Inn in West Devon

We had a midweek overnight stay and cannot fault our experience. Very well run pub , excellent room beautifully decorated and a fine breakfast in the morning. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again when in the area

Fab food. I had a fantastic meal. Staff are lovely. Frequented by all the locals. Very welcoming and accommodating to my needs.

I spent a glorious month in Shebbear for a woodworking class down the road. I stayed in an apartment across the street from the Devil's Stone Inn, but I bet I spend almost as much time at the pub. Lee, Suzy, and the whole crew at DSI were fabulous! A gracious bunch who makes everyone feel welcome. The atmosphere is friendly, fun, and welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious, and on the one summer day in July, the beer garden was stupendous (jk, spent a few evenings out there). If you go, and I hope you do, have an Otter Amber. YUM! And be sure to ask Lucy for the venison pie!

Fantastic food, staff where fantastic will definitely be returning, good range of ales which were all local good to see in a local pub

Rainy day so thought we would venture to this pub..greeted by the owners who were very welcoming. I decided on the special , crab salad which was a whole crab with bread butter home made coleslaw and salad..delicious! Hubby had ploughman's which had a generous amount of ham 2 cheeses pickles crisps scotch egg bread and butter coleslaw and salad.. he struggled to finish it but forced himself! Pub is dog friendly too, if you have your furry friend with you

Lively Friday evening in the pub with a friendly welcome. Thankfully, given the option of food in the quieter dining area. Prompt, efficient service. Straight to mains with the Venison Pie accompanied by mash potatoes, and a selection of veg including cabbage, carrots and broccoli. The pie was huge. Everything cooked perfectly. Grilled Halloumi in Ciabata with coleslaw and fries. Delicious too. Desserts were both Ice Cream Sundaes, one Strawberry, the other Honeycomb Crunch. Both huge. Both lovely.

Excellent rooms and excellent food this is a gem off a place . Ok so we come across this little gem 3 years ago on a visit to diamond resorts and we loved it Lee and Suzy the landlord and landlady had just took on the pub food was of a good standard but every time we go back it’s got better we actually stayed at the devils stone our room (room 4) was excellent, very clean and tidy and the good food is now excellent food , please people visit this place it’s a gem , Lee and Suzy are so friendly and the two dogs Tommy and Murphy are so well behaved and friendly I am not going to forget the cat very lovely it’s home from home just visit that’s all I can say Thank you devils stone Jimmy and Sarah

We could not have been made to feel more welcome. What a fantastic pub with great owners and friendly locals. We were in the area for a week and first popped in on Saturday afternoon and were amazed to find they were still serving food at 3pm. The food was fairly priced and very generous portions- we were hooked. The pub was busy every time we visited and the beer was fantastic. Very dog friendly, the owners went out of their way to make us feel at home. Open fire, decent beer and food and separate pool area and dining room. We could not have wished for a better ‘local’ for our week away and can’t wait to go back to this lovely village. Thank you.

Thanks to Lee & Suzie and their team- we were fitted in to this marvellous pub .. food for five hungry travellers. Although understaffed, they pulled this off rather nicely, with a great choice of inexpensive hoomcooked food ( try the pies , well worth the wait ! ) Love the surroundings from this vibrant Devon inn . Charming people, only regret we didn’t have time to pop in again.. maybe someday 😁

Excellent food and service from Lee and Suzy. There was a large party of us and we all had really nice food in a great atmosphere. Highly recommend

Totally recommend this lovely place. This is our third visit and will continue to visit when we come to Devon again. Very friendly a lovely pint and food is fantastic at very reasonable prices. Children families or welcome and dogs.

Went here for dinner on a Saturday night when visiting family. Decent pub food, Jail Ale on tap & great service. Highly recommended.

Having been recommended this Inn from locals in the village and not wanting to drive home before a local performance of Peter Pan we thought we’d try out this place. We were so glad we did! This place is GREAT! It’s quirky yet cool. The service super friendly and welcoming, especially Tommy! The fire (and friendly service) made the bar warm and inviting. The beer was excellent, I wholly recommend the ale on tap! A perfect pint IMHO! The food was super delicious, plentiful, well cooked and brilliantly seasoned! I can heartily recommend the burgers and gammon! 😋😋 The price fantastically reasonable and great value, especially in this current climate 👍👍👍 I even feel the need to mention how clean the toilets were! 🤩 Overall a truly outstanding experience that will, hopefully, be repeated very soon. Thank you for a terrific evening. We all had a truly amazing evening.

AMAZING, Go and enjoy for yourself the delicious meals, all cooked to order and the ingredients are fresh, good and full of flavour. I had the hunter’s chicken and it was really moist and tasty. Highly recommended. Another member of our party had the ploughman’s. This was the largest and best ploughman’s he’d had in a long long time. All brilliant. You won’t be disappointed.

Nice friendly welcoming atmosphere, greatly improved by new landlord and landlady. Attended their quiz night, what a great time we had. Highly recommended to all. Be advised the kitchen is being renovated at the moment so food is limited.

We stayed here for a family event & were made to feel very welcome by the landlady & landlord, Susie & Lee. Although the kitchen is undergoing a major refurbishment we were still offered snacks & drinks & Lee's cuppas were always on offer ... thanks Lee. Our room was spotlessly clean well stocked with tea & coffee making facilities, good shower facilities & a very comfortable bed. Lovely friendly atmosphere & we wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend to anyone wanting the same experience as us. We will be returning again, again & again. Thank you Susie & Lee for making our stay so pleasant.

Staying nearby for a few days over Easter with our dog we looked for a place to partake of a local ale or two, with excellent reviews on social media the Devil’s Stone Inn seemed just the ticket, as it turned out a golden one at that. A warm welcome from the owners (just celebrated their first year in charge) of this lovely old coaching house with large sunny beer garden in the heart of the village of Shebbear is fantastic. Great range of of local ales from Dartmoor and Otter Breweries plus great selection of wines, soft drinks and local Gins. Not looking for lunch we were quickly persuaded into the best ploughman’s we have ever had and even took away a scotch eggs and sausage roll - how could we not when they were homemade to perfection. Definitely worth the trip we will be back, highly recommended.

Excellent lunch, great beer. Dog friendly in and out with good sized beer garden. Limited food due to kitchen upgrade but actually the selection was very good. I had an avocado and crispy bacon toasted sandwich while my wife had an (enormous) ploughman’s. Also a good footpath walk back to Grascott Farm holiday cottages.

I love this pub. I have lived permanently in this area for 20 years and have never found better! They normally serve really good, home cooked food, but due to coronavirus, are just doing drinks at the moment. The landlord and landlady are very friendly, cheery and hospitable. They keep a fine cellar and the standard of hygiene is extremely high. This is why I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else for a post-lockdown drink. They practice social distancing and have a huge beer garden.

Felt very welcome in this nice country pub which sells a wonder aray of beverages and the staff are very friendly. It has a lovely log burner which I could have fallen asleep at and two comfy chairs right next to it

Travelling from Bovey Tracey/ Grantham via Mullacott Park, we found this pub via our AA guide. For us, traditional layout and friendly service. Meals were home cooked and delicious. Served in good time with a smile. Landlord easy with local information and helpful Enjoyed our visit!

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Proper home cooking massive portions. Fresh locally sourced produce. Fine choice of beers n ales. Great service.

Great ham egg and chips all home cooked and plenty of it. Service with a smile on a traditional olds worldly village pub

We were luck enough to book a night at this fabulous Inn. Had a lovely evening meal and a very comfortable bed in a spotless, lovely room. Super friendly owners too. Perfect, we'll be back!

Something here for all the family, with a visit. Booking is advised, we were lucky not to have to wait too long

We took a little time to find this pub as it was dark but it was well worth the visit when we got there. A typically oldy worldy pub which has an interesting history, we were greeted by the friendly staff and had a delicious meal of scampi and a steak and chips. Prices were good and was the cleanliness and the warmth of this place. Wish it was nearer!!

Great honest Sunday lunch - you can keep your carvary, this is just like visiting your mum for Sunday dinner - so good had no room for pudding. We had a warm welcome and a pub which has a fascinating history. A lovely little find.

Called in for a meal as a solo visitor on a busy Friday evening. Great welcome. Good food. Lovely setting.

Visited a few years ago for a meal , and went back & stayed for a couple of nights at the bed & breakfast.Friendly staff, clean, super food and a building with loads of character, in a super little Devon village.Bliss! And going back in a couple of weeks, while passing through that part of the world.

Had lunch here a few days ago. There were seven of us - four adults and three children. The food was delicious; and the service first rate. The inn is set in the lovely rural village of Shebbear.

La comida estaba bien, pero no hay necesidad de volver. Las personas que sirven en el bar parecía que querían irse y como una interferencia. Muebles de moda, pero es un pub rural, así que es de esperar. En general un ambiente muy inquietante. No creo que vaya a volver.

Nos quedamos a una milla de distancia y visitamos un par de veces. Es perros, que siempre es una ventaja. La comida está bien comidas lunes por la noche en 5 libras son un

Mi marido y yo estábamos dando vueltas encontré este lugar encantador. Nos detenido porque el nombre nos llamó la vista. La señora detrás del mostrador era muy informativo y amable. La comida era estupenda y las raciones enormes.

Popular pub in the local area, a small selection of good guest ales as well as the classics. friendly landlord and lady. Dog friendly as the owners ha the softest Rottweiler puppy ever, available for food.

El servicio era genial. Nos metimos en el sábado por la noche cuando llegamos a nuestro alojamiento y encontramos un fuego. Pedimos o comida pero no tuve que esperar mucho, tanto mi marido y yo teníamos carne y ellos eran tan buenos. También el lunes por la noche el diablo Stone Inn hacer una comida por £5:00 y había un montón de cosas. El local nos hizo sentir bienvenidos y hasta nos permite participar en la conversación. allí Gran lugar para comer y tomar una copa.

In the heart of the village and with ample convenient parking. Good following among locals. We came in after events at the local independent school. Simple but hearty range of good value pub food.

We popped in as we had arrived at our holiday cottage after the local shop had closed, and we had ommitted to bring anything for dinner. Great service, kid and dog friendly, good food (particularly the chips!)

Recomendado por nuestro complejo. Estábamos buscando un non non pub plastificado de cadena. Superó nuestras expectativas. La comida era de estilo tradicional de granja y los filetes deliciosos y preparado a nuestro gusto. La gente era tan apetecible que una visita rápida para una comida...

Nos recomendaron este pub de escribir en el hotel en el que nos alojábamos en, diciendo que era uno de los mejores pubs de la zona. Así que nos esperaba grandes cosas. Reservamos una mesa en un jueves por la noche, pero no nos deberíamos...

Un bonito país aspecto pub con algo de la historia del pueblo - salida la historia de la piedra del Diablo.

This pub looks fine from the outside and we expected a game and fish menu. We were disappointed to find only basic and poor pub grub. My chicken appeared to have been raised in a concentration camp rather than a farm and the salad consisted of half a cherry tomato and a few slices of a lettuce leaf.The toilets were unsatisfactory as to hand wash one had to use a bar of soap and a single cloth towel, hardly conducive to hygiene.Against this the food was cheap and the service friendly and quick.

Fantastic place, so warm and friendly. Not far From Haddiport B & B and Buckland House. You can walk it in about half an hour.

You get a warm welcome, the food is homemade and piping hot. We ate there more than once and had a lovely meal each time. we would definitely go back.

My partner and I wanted to walk to a local pub for lunch from the cottage we were staying at. This happened to be the closest and was well worth the walk. We had a mixed ploughman's. It was a generous portion and good price. Staff were pleasant and a nice atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

Lunch .. Would I recommend ...yesWould I eat here again...yes if in areaFamily meal here consisted of home made tomato soup, was very average, strange colour and wasn't best start. Ham egg and chips - excellent! Beautiful eggs, great homemade chips and some really nicely cut ham. Cheese and game ploughmans - very nice , fantastic pickled onion, ham gorgeous, cheese ok! Jacket spud with cheese/beans - nice but standard. Cheese sandwich - looked plain but was for a child. Also saw other meals and all looked good, also heard very good feedback. Draught ale excellent. Barman / owner was friendly, full of stories about the ghostly going ons and good humour.Price .... Excellent! Nice pub!Sadly due to modern times I hear the owner is selling up... Hopefully someone will buy this business and not turn it into flats!

On holiday in area so called in for dinner after reading positive Tripadvisor reviews. Nothing exciting to report - typical pub food and a rather limited menu. Food was ok but nothing special. Bar staff and locals very pleasant, so appears to be a good establishment to visit for a pint if you live locally.

Hard to find without sat-nav when not local and in dark, the food is some of the best in the district at a fair price, yes you can have chips with everything but they will be hand cut, low calorie none fattening, Portions are large and very tasty, the local beers are good and well presented. The locals are very friendly and make you very welcome and it can turn into a very late night. Fishing and shooting trips can be organised for you on request in season. We did go back again later that week and had another good night.

This place was ok. My 'home cooked' fish pie was basically seafood covered in mash, with chips on the side! the scampi was very likely from the local supermarket, and again severed with a large portion of chips. The chicken in bacon and cheese was greasy and possibly a little undercooked, and yes you guessed it, served with a large portion of chips. So if you like chips, then you won't be disappointed. I however, would not go again.

Well off the beaten track, the centre piece of the village square is this rather quaint unspoiled village pub. Excellent real ale choice, perfectly presented. (CAMRA members please note!) The best full English breakfast I have had for ages. Beer and a fry up, what more do you need in life?

We popped in for lunch, and was met with a warm welcome. The food was very good, good amount and very well priced. We had a look at the rooms as was thinking of stopping here next year on our way down, but the cost is a little high compared to where we normally stay at the Tom Cobley in Spreyton. But the history locally is interesting, and we would go back for a meal or Lunch.

service great, food poor stayed there I said don't eat pork but got served stir fry with pork in it. Rooms really rubbish. Cold and smelly.
