The Highwayman Inn in West Devon

unic place ,thanks to all staff.

We booked for a meal here and stayed overnight in a motorhome, we've past this place several times and had stopped but it wasn't open. We arrived early so we could see the quirky and very unique design of outside and inside the pub. So many nooks and crannies filled with alsorts plus much more. Although we thought the food was very basic but do cater for vegans. Warm welcome from young lady that showed to our table and the young chap that brought our food out.

Fun for a visit, we just had a drink and a look around, it was our pit stop on drive back from Cornwall to Berkshire

What a stunning place. It has to be the most unusual pub in the UK. It's perfect for a fun evening. The staff were lovely and very friendly. The food could be a lot better. What we had was cheap bought in ingredients heated up. Having said that, we'll definitely go back - maybe just for a drink.

Great pub great location it is just habit we stop for a drink

An intriguing place with some interesting decor. Worth a visit just to say you have seen it. Food is good pub food a bit limited to choice. Plenty of parking.

Dropped in here for the pub without a reservation in February. Great experience. Extremely friendly staff that found us a nice little corner to enjoy our ales in. Definitely go for a wander around and take in the eclectic surroundings.

I've driven past this place several times and it always intrigued me. Well I finally managed to visit this place. It has a car park. What can I say besides I was amazed! It's such a quirky, mix match , unique place. You could spend all day here and still find something new to discover. The young man who served us was very polite and well dressed. The menu isnt big or to fancy but that makes it nice and you have vegan options too. The food was nice and good size portions. Reasonably priced. It's dog friendly but if you have your dog on the seat , they ask if you use a blanket which they can provide. I didn't stay over night so can't comment on the rooms. If you like something different I would definitely recommend this pub. Pics don't do it justice.

Wow! What an amazing place - enjoyed lunch and a few drinks, great to bring our doggie too! This place is totally unique - you have to see it to believe it - we will be back!

Absolutely amazing place ,the food the service atmosphere was perfect, and really quirky ,the craftsmanship was absolutely stunning, I definitely recommend a visit you won't be disappointed at all ,all the staff were lovely definitely be back thank you

The most unusual pub in Britain, exotic, full of history and oddities, great food, great service, amazing atmosphere. Definitely recommend it

Lovely staff . A very unusual place to visit. It’s well recommended. Lots of to take photos . Coming back for a meal soon .

Dropped in with a group of friends by chance after having passed the place many times before. What an experience! It’s an incredible collection of times past memorabilia from Egyptian casks to giant forge bellows for a table. The back dining room is something from a galleon ship. Amazing place.

The most amazing, unusual pub you'll ever experience.

Very interesting pub close to some good walks in Dartmoor. Just cross the road and head on up!

Really quirky little pub. Everywhere there is somethimg to capture the eye. Food is basic but amazing place to eat in.

Very unique pub with lots of history! We sat in a cozy little corner with a pint and felt like we had stepped back in time! Dog friendly too 🐕

Great service. Good food. Great location as well as easy to find and friendly staff. A very unique and fun experience at Highwayman inn. Highly recommend.

'The most unusual Inn in Britain' is the tag for The Highwayman Inn, it's a blast!!! Booked by a friend for a surprise Birthday meal tonight was my first visit & I will absolutely be back! Such a quirky & almost gothic style of decor located in the midst of the moors! The food & service were fantastic & a simple wander around won't suffice to see all the amazing decor! Would highly recommend if you enjoy something out of the norm! 💯

Had the best time. Friendly staff. This place should be on your bucket list

Can’t really call this a pub. More of an experience run by a rude version of the Adam’s family with no regard for customer service. We left feeling like we’ve had a curse put on us 🧙‍♀️

Great atmosphere. So much character. So many things to look at, amazing displays of weird and wonderful. Food was great, excellent vegan menu. A very rare find indeed. Hostess was very friendly. We camped in our van overnight in the carpark, so can't comment on accommodation, but if the rest of the pub is as fantastic as the bits we saw... then, wow.

Amazing pub, so much history. Completely, uniquely bonkers and the staff and locals are just a joy. The setting is fairly pretty too!

Like Many others we have driven past many times and thought what an interesting place and that we should drop in one day, it’s not always obvious that it’s open, however if you look carefully there is a small sign on the door when it’s open. We entered through the old stage coach and were surprised to find the hallways is actually the interior of a stage coach, apparently the old Tavistock to Okehampton one. You then enter into a fascinating and quirky world created by the current Landladies Father. There really is nothing quite like it that I have seen. There as in is a dinning area which could only be described as the inside of a galleon, another dinning area which is truly fascinating with alcoves and a tree root system. Then a one of a kind Bar area with lots of historical artefacts. If you are passing by you definitely have to stop and drop in for a drink or bite to eat, make sure to look around the entire building.

Although this is a unique and intriguing pub, we wish we had only had a drink and not food. Sausage and mash with sweetcorn and gravy which was clearly all cheap supermarket/freezer food and just microwaved, cost £17! My partners scampi and chips was of the same poor quality and also just as expensive. 2 orange juices and lemonades almost £10! Whilst the service from the landlady was very kind and lovely, this price for this poor quality food was shocking. Would not return. Found a lovely pub in Lydia’s which had much better quality food and prices.

Fantastic vegan menu in this delightfully bizarre pub!

Stopped for a drink and really impressed with the warm welcome and lovely service. Will be back to try the food. It really is a feast for the eyeballs and a real experience!

There's no where like it. A unique experience not to miss. Excellent food and vegan friendly. Lovely staff.

Didn't book so couldn't eat. Had a tea and just a look in there. The decor is quite specail. Something different.

Fascinating place,so much to see in such a small space. Will be visiting again, as you simply can't take it all in,in just one visit.

The most fascinating pub you will ever visit definitely worth a visit

Most amazing pub I have ever been in, it is definitely unique.

Fantastic and quirky little pub. Explore in side different areas. Plenty of parking. Easy to find Food smelt amazing. Drinks were good Service was excellent. Prices are reasonable. Will definitely return at some point. This year or next year. Thank you 😊

Lovely novelty, not tried the food but snacks are overpriced 5 pounds for a worse than Morrison's best cookie, lovely service from the woman, but of uneasiness and inhospitality from the older owner of pub Good for going and coming to from hiking

This is a fabulous, quirky pub that has got to be seen to be believed. There are surprises in every conceivable nook and cranny throughout. The sort of pub you will definitely tell your friends about.

Great experience, very strange place. Food was OK, landlady was lovely. I was met at the door and addressed by name, which was impressive.

Absolutely incredible place, the building is beautiful and there is so much to see and history, the food was also amazing and very reasonable

Crazy, crazy, crazy. It can't be described, it MUST be seen.

Odd little place run my a rude lady. We wanted to bring our two dogs in and she was extremely rude to us and them. We left because of this and the fact the place looked outdated and shabby. The food that was being brought out did look ok ish though. Defo won’t be going back in a hurry.

We had a brilliant lunch. Staff are friendly and helpful

Been almost 40 years since last here but you need to visit if your in Devon no words nor photos can capture the essence of this stunning and unique place transformed by the family throughout the generations ❤️

The most quirky little pub I have ever seen!! A highly recommended place to visit. You can stay in a motorhome too with food/drink . The meals are very basic but the staff and pub itself make up for it. Only thing I'd change is swap frozen chips to fresh. So much to see in there, you will not be disappointed. X

Could be a lot nicer with a bit of TLC, looks very tired from the outside, unfortunately closed when we visited so can't comment on the inside or the food.

Very unusual pub ! The food was very nice & very friendly staff 💫😊 Thank you ☺️

Fantastic, quirky place to visit. Food isn't great though

Just popped in for a pit stop on a long trip home, after seeing an article online, so only had a quick drink. The pub as super cool! So much to see and really quirky! Staff are lovely and welcoming too! Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing place to visit for lunch.worth a visit.Food was average.

Have visited this place many times since the late 60's a very friendly establishment with a lot of mystery. Took our friends and neighbours to visit here and they loved it. One of Devon's most haunted pubs. It's definitely a must visit if you are in Devon.

Looks like a lovely place but when we popped in it was very crowded so I told the lady we would come back another time and she told us not to bother as we we no use to her if we weren't spending money. Very rude and abrupt. Won't bother again.

Wow! Probably the most overwhelmingly quirky experience in Devon and Cornwall. Beautifully decorated pub with huge originality in every room and great local Dartmoor beer too..! Friendly owners with lots of history to share about the pub...Just look at the pictures and you will understand...! A must visit!

Absolutely fabulous place, lovely and intriguing and interesting. Lovely staff , going to come back and visit again.

What a wonderful experience. There is nothing like it anywhere. You must pay a visit and have some food or just a drink. It will blow your mind.

Very welcoming and friendly. A pub full of character, truly unique. If you're looking for something different, try it!

What a fantastic experience.vety lovely staff and incredible decor and books and crannies.thank you guys

Absolutely wonderful place. Sally was so lovely to us, every single person in there was so friendly. The website is right when it says you forget about everything once you're in there - beautiful place. Can't wait to visit again.

This is the most amazing place we ever seen. If you think you've been to a pub like this then think again. It is amazing the owners are beautiful couple and so so friendly. The food was amazing to. Don't think there's a place like this anywhere we will 1 million percent be returning. Thank you so so much for an unforgettable day

Had an amazing time in this wonderful pub. Excellent and very welcoming reception. Had to show this weird and beautiful place to my dutch family was well worth the drive. Thank you very much. W

Gorgeous pub, quirky and interesting, food passable but nothing special.

A great fun pub that is outrageous both inside and out. With an Egyptian sarcophagus, minotaur, skeleton, mermaid and quirky artefacts throughout. Serving food in 2 themed rooms or drink at the bar. Has a large car park and lots of seating outside in the summer near to the obligatory pair of 2 metre tall red womens shoes in the rear garden. Situated on the outskirts of Dartmoor and ideal for a stop off whilst visiting nearby Lydford Gorge. You can stay at Cobweb Cottage across the road, having the same owner as the Highwayman Inn.

Amazing little place with so much to see! Food was amazing and staff were very friendly and welcoming.

What an interesting place to stop at. Wherever you look, something catches your eye. You could spend ages looking at all the curious items here. The steak pie was delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive and very helpful. This is definitely on my return to list. Well worth a visit
