The focsle Inn & Hotel in North Devon

My partner and I had a lovely meal here to celebrate his birthday. It was a quiet evening, so we were lucky enough to choose where to sit and eat. Naturally, we chose a table with a sea view to accompany our meal which added to the atmosphere of the evening. The service was excellent and we both felt very welcome, we received our food within 10 minutes of ordering and the portion sizes were great value for money. We will visit again the next time we are back in Combe Martin.

Popped in for a drink and was impressed by the selection of beers etc. The staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. Will definitely be back for a meal next time.

Lovely location for a seaside drink.

Nice bar friendly staff good wine excellent location good view

Nice food and friendly staff and sells Madri great place in combe martin 👍

Nice pub by the harbour side. The weather was good so we sat outside

Beautiful views of the beach at Combe Martin.

Excellent pub, nice pint on the walk back, more than once!🍺

Good beer, good food, friendly staff. Modern atmosphere, no complaints very happy. Many thanks!

Very friendly staff food very nice 😋 nice and clean nice sea front

Popped in after walking the south west coast path from Heddon Mouth, sat in the bar area, the bar staff were lovely, for was delicious and arrived very quickly. Very relaxing after a hilly walk.

Lovely place. We only went for a drink. Great view. Very busy place, friendly staff

Super rude barman, ruins the mood. Do not recommend this place.

Good range of drinks and friendly service. It was a bit quiet on the evening we were there but atmosphere was good - helped by the excitement of the waves crashing over the sea wall. Great location as well. Didn't have food here so can't comment on that.

We were so disappointed when we stopped for drinks. This pub is in prime spot for Combe Martin Bay so we wanted to enjoy the overlook with some drinks. The wine is Jack Rabbit except for zinfandel which is another very low end wine. The additional disappointment was the price by the glass...175ml £8 & 250ml £9. To buy a bottle online the price is £3.99. I certainly wouldn't expect to be paying these prices for this low end wine. Needless to say we won't be spending our money or time here in future. They do serve a good pint of Offshore if that's your tipple.

Excellent food Excellent service the best food I have had in a while the chips are triple cooked there fluffy in the inside and crispy on the out well worth the drive from essex

Location wonderful. Staff very pleasant and helpful but found prices had risen alot since last visit. On the whole good visit, food was OK too.

Nice views of the sea ,,, but that's it ,,, better off ten minutes away in the castle Inn brilliant beer garden and great beers love it

Popped into Combe Martin for a look whilst in the area on holiday. Saw this place as it is So 🐕 dog friendly, staff amazing and the food incredible! Lovely views of the sea whilst eating 😀 really recommended 👌 xxxx

Lovely food, great location, friendly staff I think it has just been renovated so the decor is very fresh well worth the visit if just for the sunset 🌇

Great place for food, we ate there 4 times in a week.

Fantastic pub, great location. Amazing service. Very highly recommended. Excellent food. Can't fault it in anyway.

We went one night for a meal, which was lovely. I had the mushroom and spinach pie, it was very tasty. The chips that came with weren't my favourite chips that I've ever had, just standard frozen chips, I thought perhaps they would have been home made for the price tag of £18 for the meal, but they were fine and done the job. The pie was lovely but think it may have been warmed up in the microwave as the pasty wasn't crisp, had that slightly soggy texture to it. Again for the price tag expected that tiny bit more. The salad was lovely and fresh. Husband had the meat pie and his was similar but very tasty he said. Staff were lovely and friendly. It is very dog and kid friendly too 🙂 Our second visit was to sit outside and have some drinks. We came the Bank Holiday Monday night to see the final of the tradition of 'The Hunting of the Earl of Rone' which was really interesting to see. Lovely how the whole town gets involved. The kids played on the beach while we sat and had a couple of drinks waiting for them all to come down with the Earl. Lovely atmosphere and really enjoyed talking to local people and other holiday makers, everyone was really nice. Staff were great and managed the crowds well, service wasn't affected at all 🙂 Couldn't have asked for a nicer spot to watch the sun come down and the tradition play out 😊😊

Absolutely wonderful location, really good quality food and reasonable price. Brilliant landlord/bar man and invisible Gary.!! This year the prices seemed to have gone up considerably, 2024.

Just stopped for a few pints. Lovely location and very clean and tidy inside. Sat outside to enjoy the drink

Lovely bar, Great bar staff and location is just gorgeous

Nice happy and friendly pub 😀 drinks were fantastic 👌 and staff were excellent 👏 10/10

What a place ....Great view, great food, everyone is so friendly.

Nice coffee and good view. Prices need to lower

Lovely pub in stunning location. So friendly food was proper pub grub and very welcoming. The pool table was a great addition to our evening. We will be back.

Lovely staff, good food, dogs welcome and good views if you manage to get a window seat or if the weather is dry outside

Originally loved this place been many times as view is lovely and food was great. But twice now we have experienced on different occasions a man that works their taking orders being very short with me and my wife. I appreciate its at times when they are busy and they are trying to be quick with customers to make sure they serve us as fast as possible. But It doesn't take much to be friendly and polite towards customers who are paying theur wages. Lovely place though just wasn't as a pleasant experience.

Great pub with stunning views over the bay!

Sorry but the worst cod and chips I've ever had very greasy.Nice staff and ok atmosphere. .

What a gem of a pub, beautiful scenery, dog friendly, food delicious and really friendly staff.

Stopped for a ploughman's after doing the Hangman walks. Very friendly pub, good beer and so nice to be able to eat outside overlooking the beach.

A very warm welcome was had by all. The staff are friendly and interactive. The food and ales are really good. We thought value for money was excellent.

We was here last week 25th September we had our evening meal here it was lovely I had the fish cakes they was amazing hubby and daughter had a burger and granddaughter had some chips and ice cream for pudding. The staff was so lovely and very friendly we didn't have to wait long for the food at all highly recommend this place 👍❤️

Highly reccomend this very friendly and clean roomy pub restaurant. Overlooks the beach and is dog friendly too. I had the homemade steak pie meal and it was lovely.

Had lunch in here on Friday. It was really good and the pub is fantastic with an incredible view. Unfortunately we didn't try it until the last day of our trip or else we would have definitely returned.

Right by the beach. Great location.

Food is really good - quick friendly service. Dog friendly inside and out 10/10 would recommend

Update is that i revisited hoping for some improvent on the welcoming ..all good ...only problem was the food wad absolutely awful. This was not fresh, it was a microwave meal at £17 for Chicken Korma!!!!!!. I needed food, so didnt really have a choice. Its cheaper at an actual indian restaurant and fresh, and to be honest I would have been happier eating fish and chips on the beach. Any future visits will not happen. As your pub is in a premium location, at 5.30pm,I would have expected it to be busy...it wasn't...and now I know why. Improve your food quality, bring down your prices and maybe you will be a booming pub. Would have given it a 5 star, if it wasn't for the tall, grumpy bar man. No smile, no welcoming feeling. Rest of staff were really lovely. Food amazing and location right on the beach. Perfect

Loved it, last visited 25 years ago, a really lovely refurb is making it more appealing than ever. Fantastic food, served quickly and lovely staff.

We went on Friday 16.00 for as it read homemade pie it definitely wasn't. No meat no gravy when we asked for some was given a jug with oxo cube in. Should have complained at the time

£17 for a lasagna. £5.50 for a carling.

We always stop here on the way home, excellent food, the most stunning spot for a pint and some food in Devon

I didn’t know The kitchen officially closes at 15:00 … However I found out when I tried to order at 14:59 and there was absolutely NO CHANCE for food.

Been going to Combe Martin for years and always have a meal or two here. Was perfect as usual. Ate on 3 separate occasions. My husband and daughter chose the vegetable lasagne, claim its the best they've ever eaten and would live the recipe to try at home. The Inn is in a perfect location, love views. Can't wait to visit again

We had a great meal here one evening on our holiday. Beautiful views of the bay while you eat. Very reasonably priced. Staff friendly. The ribs were incredible. Definitely recommend.

Lovely staff and lovely views over the sea.

Lovely pub right on the beach. Great staff and good quality food.

Had the displeasure of ordering chicken fillet burger and chips , to get 2 reconstituted deep fried bird's-eye style things that tasted of fryng oil @£ 37 for 2 of these and a pint of bitter and a lemonaid was very dissapointed. Don't say its a fillet burger if its a frozen lump of cr@p.

Great staff, great location, managed to get enough signal to do a bit of work there too. The team were great, above and beyond with service

Amazing position overlooking the beach . Food is not fresh and expensive ! I'd rather eat at a Wetherspoons for half the price .

Only had a drink here so cannot comment on much. Very friendly staff, very nice thank you my name stephen

Endroit très sympa pour un verre, apéro après une après midi à la plage ou bien en dîner pour admirer le magnifique coucher de soleil ! Côté cuisine c’était moyen, nous avons testé le fish burger et le cake fish servis avec frites et salade. Dommage que les assaisonnements soient en « tube » industriel et non en dressing cuisine. Idem ketchup mayonnaise and co. Assez cher pour la qualité mais je pense que nous payons clairement pour la vue magnifique du coucher de soleil. Je recommande pour l’ambiance et la vue, mais ne vous attendez pas à de la grande cuisine :)

What a great pub/restaurant, right on the shoreline looking into the bay. Friendly and helpful staff with a variety of wines and beers. A good relaxed atmosphere and food is absolutely spot on, with good portions. Added bonus is that you can watch some beautiful sunsets from this location. It's definitely worth a visit if you get the chance.

Das Lokal hat eine unschlagbare Lage direkt an Bucht und Strand. Draußen sitzt man perfekt, nachmittags in Richtung Sonnenuntergang. Drinnen ist's sehr modern eingerichtet. Nur für die Toiletten bräuchte man Gummistiefel!

Nicely priced meals,quick efficient service.

Was a nice visit, just rather expensive. Ham, egg and chips £15, that quite a mark up. But to be fair, every establishment for food is expensive. Ale was cornish, nothing from Devon..

Lovely. Good food. Need to get Ratler cider though, then would be perfect

Main courses excellently cooked but ice cream desserts are pre-bought and not as to quality. Clean and nice atmosphere

Located next to the beach. Nice pub, food was nice and a great location, plus the sun was shining which always makes a day out better.

Great location on the beach front Food ok good beer really nice place

Lovely pub right on the beach, service was friendly and its dog friendly!

Dog friendly and lovely staff. Usual range of beers so ale lovers don't hold your breath. Food is out of the freezer and bland. Probably a notch worse than Spoons.

Spectacular sunsets and wonderful food

Excellent service, will return again for sure..

Great friendly staff, we were served pretty quick, and the food was very nice. Would definitely go back.

Great view to watch the sun go down. Food arrived so quickly that is always a worry 6 meals arrived in about 5 mins.

Lovely little pun by the shore, nice seating outside looking onto a cove and the drinks and chips are good

Amazing food and a lovely cold beer. Lovely friendly staff with a fabulous attitude. Love the venue, love the views. Thoroughly recommend this little gem. We had the cheddar ploughman's and the ham, Stilton and cheddar ploughmans. All fresh and lovely. Xx

If you live in the area on a well paid job then the prices mean nothing to you. But I'm a tourist who lives in a cheaper town on a low income,if you are like me then this place is extortionate in terms of pricing. If you like throwing your hard earned cash away come here.

Friendly service. Good beer. Decent food. Outstanding views especially at sunset. Tries hard. What’s not to like?

Great views brilliant service thank you

Food not great, avoid if you don't like dogs

Lovely lunch meal on outside terrace in sun! Everything was delicious, well deserved after scenic coastal walk up to Lt Hangman.

Don't waste your time going to this pub, they are shut. And they still say on their out of date Facebook page that they are open. Must just like to mess people about, they should delete the Facebook account.

Not been here for a few years but very impressed. The interior has been updated and is very modern. The outside seating area has spectacular views of the sea and small beach area just in front of the pub.

Great location always made welcome especially by barman Roger and menu greatly improved this year

Fantastic view. Good food good service. Will be back 👍😀

Nice place good range of beers food was good not the cheapest.

Didn't eat or drink there,looked at menu outside,£20 for 8oz. gammon and chips,you must be joking.

Great views. Good choice of food but gets really busy in summer like most places

Only in for a drink after one hec of a long walk up and down the coastal path and the Great and Little Hangman. They gave the dog a bowl of water and someone even bought him a bag of crisps! Went back a 2nd time for dinner which was very nice and the welcome just as big. Beautiful sunset to watch as we ate too.

Nice pint and lovely to sit out and see the bay! Food evidently popular too.

We had lunch here sat outside it was a great place lovely situation

Marvellous food, one of the best freshest Ploughmans lunches we have had, wonderful fresh ingredients. Washed down with an Exmoor ale. Excellent value for money. Wonderful friendly staff. Highly recommended

It looks recently decorated. Clean and tidy but we went on an evening and the lighting makes you feel like you are sat in someone's living room with the full lights on. Far too bright . Needs different lighting it was uncomfortable to sit and talk under such a bright light. Apart from lighting its a nice pub and good location

Beautiful location lovely service and food xx

Went here recently just before sunset We sat and had dinner and a few drinks and watched the sunset from the terrace overlooking the beach. The location is out of this world and is one of the best sunsets. The drinks were good and very welcome after we had walked the coastal path from Ilfracombe. The food wasn't the best we've ever had but it was OK. We will return next time we are in the area.

Ok found it a bit on the expensive side.

Wow....simple wow! What a location! Stunning! While we didn't stay in the rooms we did call and have a drink there. Great staff, lovely looking food and the best location

The view is unbelievable. Decent pub food and ok service.

Ate dinner here, seemed all frozen and bought in food, not impressed at all.ribs very chewy. Seemed to be re heating rather than cooking. Disappointed.

Nice place to sit with a beer and stare at the sea. Didn't try the food, so can't comment on that. Not a great beer selection and interior lacks character hence 4stars.

Wonderful view to have a pint and watch the sunset

Nice meal friendly staff..stunning views from outside.

Been in twice now after meeting up with relations visiting us, amazing service Mark was very accommodating and the food especially the chicken tikka curry was to die for, hoping the chef will add a spaghetti bolognese to the main adult menu "hint hint" 👀👍
