Nartnapa Thai - Cottage Inn in North Devon

‘Fully booked for take aways’ - never hear that before.

Wonderful food and friendly staff at a reasonable price. Will definitely visit again when back in the area.

The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were lovely. Great little pub with and amazing Thai menu. Go - you won’t regret it.

Back again after a couple of years. Panang curry and chicken and cashew stir fry. Decent friendly service. Food was excellent . Reminded us not to wait so long before we come again.

Staff were really accommodating and genuinely wanted to help you get the best experience. The food was so delicious, presented beautifully and the ingredients were so fresh. We had a beautiful view over the river and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

A friendly and well located pub with a focus on home cooked Thai food. The only downsides are a limited menu choice and above average prices. Food quality abd service are both good but it would benefit from a wider range of msim course options.

Really lovely evening meal - made it extra spicy for us! Such warm and welcoming people. Also really enjoyed the energy in the bar area where locals were celebrating together. And we could bring our dog too!

Food and service was fantastic. Thank you for a enjoyable dinner.

We booked last minute for a meal at the restaurant. Service was amazing and extremely accommodating. We asked to have a drink before our meal, even though it was late, they were extremely pleasant and allowed us to sit for a drink before we sat for our meal. The food was amazing! Fresh and gorgeous. Would highly recommend a visit. Thank you!

Close to Barbrook and Lynton for convenience. Great food and service. An enjoyable experience. We have visited before and will return in the future. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Thai food in a beautiful setting. There is a walking path from Lynton to get to this place in a short time. Highly recommend this place

Fantastic thai food and pub in Lynton. The food is delicious with an abundance of flavours, the panang curry was outstanding. Good selection of beers from the bar, the staff are extremely friendly, small tip, don’t put a blackcurrant in a cosmopolitan it doesn’t belong there! This is not a negative just advice.

Had a cracking evening at The Cottage Inn. After a long day walking the South West Coast Path, they fit me and my party of 4 in for late dinner service. The pub and restaurant staff were really friendly, the food was fantastic and they even made a decent mojito! I can't wait to come back again.

Lovely country pub with excellent Thai food. Service was fantastic and very reasonable price

Absolutely delicious Thai meal. Our favourites were the duck spring rolls, green Thai curry and panang curry

So let's start from the minute you walk in the door. Friendly welcome from the girl who is front of house. Kirsty I think is her name, but not entirely sure (sorry!). This lady is so nice and professional in her position. Makes it seem like nothing is a problem. Seating allocated to accommodate us having dogs with us and food and drink order taken at the table - perfect. Wide selection of drinks available, very good choice. Food - in a word - outstanding. We have always had a good meal, left full and always pleased with the high standards. Our favourite is the starter sharing platter which is quite simply bursting with flavour. All fresh ingredients and really comes through in the taste. Excellent presentation each time we eat there. I think the icing on the cake this time was the little treats presented for the dogs on our table. As if the team were not doing their best already to welcome in guests, then this just put you 110% ahead of any of your competitors. Well done Team Cottage. You are marvelous ✨️

We went here during a camping trip for a friends birthday. The menu is limited, but the food is excellent and high quality.

Wonderful. Great Thai food. Great beer. A warm welcome and a lovely cosy pub and restaurant. Highly recommend

Stunning Thai food. Great amber draught on top. Excellent service. We came as a group of 13 with a bunch of kids and they were really accommodating with friendly and kind service. We all agreed that it was the Best Thai food we have eaten.

Lovely place and great service but I did think it was expensive.

Fantastic Thai food in a lovely pub. Only 15 minutes walk from Lynton town centre. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Local beer was good as well!

Great pub with a Thai restaurant. Small menu but all the food really delicious. We had stir fries and a green curry and really enjoyed all of it. Good drink selection. Very friendly atmosphere. Lovely walk from Lynton. Definitely recommend (if you like Thai food obvs).

I've never tried Thai food before, I'm glad I tried it. it was beautiful and only 50 meters away from sunny Lyn campsite where we were staying .....

Lovely food, great service, good beer 😁 what more do you need? 👍

Stayed at the campsite next door rang to book a table for our 25th no answer they rang back shortly after just to tell us they were shut for renovation work.but like an absolute legend he opened the doors just to sell me some takeaway IPA red wine and crisps, Anniversary saved many thanks I would give 10 🌟⭐✨🌟⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨

Great food and gorgeous views, bit on the spenny side but worth it.

Absolute gem. Traditional feeling pub with exceptional Thai cuisine. Staff were happy, helpful and friendly. The clientele was a mix of visitors and locals. There are so many tourist traps in this area, but this is definitely not one of them. I will definitely be back.

Absolutely fabulous food. It was the best Thai food we've ever had! Excellent service too.

Leckerer Gin. Auf das Essen mussten wir ziemlich lange warten, aber es lohnte sich: äusserst leckere Thai Menüs! Grosse Portion und schön angerichtet. Hunde erlaubt.

So ch a great find! A friendly, cosy pub in a stunning location and the most delicious Thai food! Worth a visit.

Wonderful food and excellent service. We had a great evening here and will definitely return when back in Lynmouth. I will try and fit in a dessert next time.

Good food, very welcoming and wood burner, nice beer,

Really great food and lovely atmosphere! Thank you :)

Amazing service coupled with great thai pizza. Will return

Great food great atmosphere good price, eat in or take away very helpful as well. Go and eat here⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a lovely meal here, food is excellent, will be heading back there soon hopefully

The Thia green curry was fantastic

Second time at Nartnapa - excellent food in lovely setting. The staff are friendly and welcoming. This is definitely a regular place to eat when we are on holiday in Lynmouth. A must !!

Nourriture excellente. Service rapide. L'ambiance pub asiatique est très chouette. A recommander

Fantastic food, fantastic service and fantastic atmosphere! Saw great reviews about this restaurant and knew we had to try it. The food was incredible, and such great value for money. I have been to Thailand and the food was on par. Thank you for a wonderful evening. The only fault we had was the wait times, however it was a very busy Saturday night so we could understand, just made us more excited for our next dish.

Food and beer is absolutely stunning. Beer is regularly brewed on site and easily the best in the local area. Thai food is amazing. Been several times while camping next door and will definitely go again.

One of the best Thai restaurants I've been too. Exceeded expectations!

Fabulous food, presented beautifully and service was great. Went while we were on holiday based upon the reviews and so pleased we did.

We had the Tom Yum soup and Seafood Pad Thai and both were absolutely delicious, fresh tasting with good portions and plenty of seafood in the Pad Thai. The staff are friendly and it's a stunning location. What more can you ask for? I'm definitely going back next time I'm in the area.

this is such a lovely pub i stay next door at sunny lyn and come in here every eveing gary and the gang are great people who make you feel welcome and the locals are freindly try it you wont be dissapointed

We all a fantastic meal and great service. Mike

The food at this restaurant is superb. We shared an excellent Pork Green Curry, Vegetable Pad Thai and Jasmine Rice between two. With a couple of starters it was plenty. We both had a couple of drinks each and it came to about £70. It was worth it! The food was beautifully presented and tasted great. The service was exceptional. Friendly staff who were attentive and efficient. We will definitely eat here again when we are next in the area.

Visited last night after a long drive from London. Perfect place to go for good, fresh Thai food. Excellent food, friendly staff and a great selection of local beers/ales. Courses were well timed and cooked fresh.

An amazing little pub restaurant with the most incredible staff - this is without doubt amongst the nicest and most welcoming customer service experiences I’ve ever had. The food was also brilliant - Thai is probably my favourite cuisine, and having been to Thailand myself I can say that this is some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. We had the duck spring rolls and the green curry, and they were absolutely perfect. 100% recommended.

Authentic, tasty great Thai food. Lovely surprise. The setting is right by the river and staff are very friendly and attentive. The food price is expensive, but we'll worth it.

It's ok. Food is good but way too overpriced. £18 for veggie green curry and rice is hard to justify. Appreciate what's written on the website about the background to the place and the chef etc, but it's arrogant to think that justifies charging that much for what wasn't particularly special or certainly no better than more reasonably priced equivalents elsewhere. £8 for 3 spring rolls, £4 for a small portion of steamed rice and £14 for a green curry with some brocoli and green beans. Tasty, but soured by extortion.

Lovely tasting food,good service, friendly staff

I had the Pork Penang, it was superb! The staff are really friendly, there was little wait for the food to come out. Also really nice coffee to finish the meal off. They did have desserts, but I was so happy with the main I wanted to continue basking in the glow of a glorious dish. Definitely a must visit if in the area.

Superbe expérience culinaire qui aurait toute sa place dans le prochain Routard ! On y arrive à pieds depuis Lynton par un petit chemin bucolique : le Lynway. Au bord de la rivière, un doux mélange de pub anglais avec de bonnes bières brassées sur place, et de délicieuses spécialités thaïlandaises joliment dressées, concoctées avec des produits frais. Assez inattendu mais pari très réussi ! Atmosphère absolument charmante, à ne pas manquer si vous êtes de passage à Lynton.

Limited menu but delicious freshly cooked meals with friendly service and a warm welcome.

Didn't actually go in as we were checking the raised parking area, but in a beautiful area.

Fantastic sunday roast and great ale. So good went back yesterday and had excellent thai food that all the family really enjoyed.

What an absolute gem! We had dinner here and spent a delightful evening in front of the log burner with good beer and delicious Thai food. The staff were very friendly and obliging, the place had a lovely buzz without feeling busy and the food was amazing- we particularly recommend the fish cakes starter and the pannang curry!

Absolutely fantastic food! We had to move our table booking back an hour on the day, but the staff couldn't be more helpful and understanding if they tried. Such a nice quiet relaxing place to enjoy a superb meal. We will definitely be returning for more!

Delicious top quality Thai food

Lovely setting overlooking the river. Food was absolutely amazing, so tasty and full of Thai flavours. Great service also. Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu .

Very authentic thai food, welcoming warm environment. Allowed the dog good to see it's not changed since we came ore covid will be back for sure

Amazing meal, stunning flavours and very friendly staff.

Great beer from the Fat Belly brewery and fantastic Thai food, the seafood green curry was delicious.

Lovely food and a lovely setting, perfect way to end a holiday !

Amazing! Best Thai food, all hand made and authentic. Super friendly staff, helpful and welcoming. Fine dining without all pretentiousness. Dim lights, intimate calm atmosphere.

Very expensive £18 for 1 small spring roll, 1 chicken wing, 2 small pieces of squid, and a small fish cake. Seafood Stirfry on contained prawns and was bland tasting as was fried rice. We won't be returning!!!!!

We stopped in to Nartnapa on a trip to Lynmouth and I can quite comfortably and confidently say it was the best Thai food I've ever eaten in the UK. The pub/restaurant sits beautifully next to the river running down to the sea, it has a lovely oldy world feeling inside, is nice and clean with a good selection of drinks. All the staff we dealt with and spoke too were friendly, warm and welcoming and served all our food and drinks quickly and with a smile. The cream on top without a doubt was the food, which was brilliant. The prawn ramen bowl I had was so good, I could eat two back to back. Portion sizes were generous, every dish was presented well, cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. We will undoubtedly return, we were so impressed.

Excellent food and service. Fantastic beer too! Thanks

A nice little Thai restaurant in a local pub. Good beer selection and a basic menu that covered the usual favourites.

Read glowing reviews, but virtually every piece of the beef in the beef stir fry was so grissly I had to leave the half chewed portions on the plate. I pointed this out and was told we could get a discount, which on examination of the bill amounted to £1.50 on a £15.75 dish. Eventually they gave us one free beer too. I think what really struck me is that we were told that the chef had no idea of what the quality of the meat she ordered would be like until she cooked it - so much for being a fastidious chef!

Had a lovely meal, great atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful. Brilliant find.

Lovely food and great friendly service, unsure about reviews mentioning that they only do a buffet as this was not the case with us, we choose off a menu and food freshly cooked, definitely recommend a visit.

Really pleasant atmosphere. Great food, several different curries, and there are different dishes each day. The staff are awesome too!

Very disappointing, queuing for the buffet was chaos, there were no plates and very poorly organised. Where we were sat was like a tin shack, with a chipboard wooden wall. Plates were not cleaned away from our table. And not at all what we were expecting after reading the reviews. The food was “nice” but overpriced!

Overpriced. £20 for all you can eat Thai buffet that was very average. Nice setting and good beer selection but customers know when they are being taken advantage of.

Coming from Guildford a there being numerous Thai restaurants this has beaten them all!! The starter of Squid and Fish cakes was fresh and tasty to the main, Pad Thai noodles and Green Curry! Hot, delicious, taste buds tingling!!!! Best ever tasted!!! Highly recommend this old style pub for its hidden tastes 😋 oh and great own brewed beer🍻!

Thai food done right. We all thought it was brilliant and want to go back next time we are in Devon, my apologies if you wanted photos of the food on the plates but it didn't last that long🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗🥳🍻

Fantastic food. Service wasnt great but the food more than made up for it

The best Thai I have ever had. A completely unexpected find but the food was phenomenal.

I was hesitant to begin with as the vegetable spring rolls that I had for starters was tasteless but the mains were tasty and full of flavour. I had the Chicken Pannang Curry which was delicious and my partner had Flame Grilled Chicken Breast which he also liked. Staff are friendly too. I would definitely return if I was in town.

Delicious food ,very pleasant staff best Thai restaurant I've been to. If you like Thai food you have to go

Great food, great service, great drink selection. Will return

Incredible service and food 5 stars 100%

Limited menu but what you got was delicious food, would highly recommend

A very friendly location with some of the best food you will find in the area! My son (who can be rather picky eater) loved his dinner and his lesson with chopsticks. Our dinners were fantastic and there is a good selection of beers available. It's not a long walk from lynton and the views along the way are well worth the hill to get there!

Delicious curry - both the Panang and the Green Curry were authentic tasting and very flavoursome! The Tom yam starter was delicious and the spring rolls were tasty but not the best we’ve had. Staff were very accommodating and friendly! 😊 Overall, was a lovely way to finish a trip to Lynton/Lynouth.

They were so kind fitting us in when they were very busy. I love Thai food and have eaten loads and this was without doubt best Thai green curry I have ever had so worth wait and climb up hill. Thank you will be back.

Staff all very welcoming, friendly and attentive without being in your face. Food was delicious and plenty of it! Even though it was full, as you would expect on a Saturday night, we didn't have to wait long for our Starter or Mains. Highly recommend

We had dinner here on Wednesday evening (you will need to book) it was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are lovely and could not have been more helpful when we had trouble getting a taxi . Just don't mention the corkscrew!🙂

As always ..food was perfect atmosphere, staff and surroundings to match...thankyou again for another lovely evening x

Potential Hospitality Business Nightmare! 1. One - Wheelchair user, 2. One - Vegetarian and 3. One - Glutton intolerant guest. Last visit 20th August 2019, We had the potential to be a hospitality business nightmare! A wheelchair user, a vegetarian and a glutton intolerant guest, eating Thai and staying over. WOW, just absolutely fantastic all-round, Gary and his team second to none and the food is exquisite. Beautiful, simple and jam-packed with flavour. On arrival, Gary and his staff helped us with the wheelchair, gave us a room right by the side entrance (and separate access key), to cope with the hill and access for the chair. Super view of the river, nice room. Friendly, engaging and Gary is a fountain of local information. Not forgetting their microbrew beers, another touch just adding that particular extra bit of unique. Nothing, was to much trouble, eating with us was a vegetarian and a glutton intolerant guest. They triple checked everything about the meal, no one went disappointed, and no one went hungry that was for sure. Soup packed with crisp fresh flavour and mains to compliment. What a great business. What a great team. The Cottage Inn team should all be very proud. We will be back as soon as they re-open their doors. Hope to see you soon. Thanks PS Dam good, cooked breakfast as well. PPS Apologies, we should have left this review a long time ago, for some reason it didn't save to Google. Just realised when I went to tell someone what a great place this is, good luck to Gary and Nartnapa we hope you can open again soon.

Excellent Thai food on the hill. We stayed in Lynmouth and walked to the restaurant which took about 15 minutes up a steep hill. Excellent COVID-friendly service and delicious beers from Fat Belly Brewery. Not the cheapest Thai meal but you get what you pay for.

Amazing! Fabulous food, great quality, excellent friendly service! We will definitely be back.

A lovely meal. Hadn’t had Thai before so nothing to compare it to. Reasonably (that’s my way of saying a bit expensive but ok for a special occasion) priced - we didn’t order that much but it was plenty to fill us up

Wow! What amazing Thai food we got from here! The Pannang curry was absolutely fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious, authentic Thai food washed down with locally brewed craft beer - highly recommended!

Just visited the pub. Friendly. Own brewed beer very pleasant

Even inthese trying times of covid-19 the staff well really clued up in how to treat people. The Thai food is out of this world ,best I have ever eaten. The Host even made one up for a takeaway. Certainly be a return visit and very soon

I haven't had the chance to try there food there yet but I have had a couple pints from there which was amazing taste will definitely return there on our next visit and hopefully get some photos
