The Three Crowns in West Devon

Came in for Sunday roast and food was 10/10, best roast we have had for quite a while. What lacked was the service. We booked for 3pm and whilst we appreciate we entered at a busy time wrapping up peak time, service received wasn’t great from the off. One particular server seemed to be in quite a mood and was remarkably blunt “no” when we asked questions about getting some extra yorkshires (which we were a bit surprised the pork meal didn’t come with, but our fault for not reading the menu properly!) Plus someone seemed to think it was a great idea to loudly polish/sort out the cutlery at the bar, which was right next to our table, making conversation quite difficult and picked up by all 4 members of our party. Shame as food was amazing and would go back, but service lacked. 3pm bookings just as important as 12pm as all paying the same!

Had a very nice cocktail and lunch would go back

We stayed for two nights for a friends birthday and dined both evenings in house. What a phenomenal pub and hotel. Steeped in history with some lovely contemporary features (especially the gorgeous breakfast room. All of the staff are fantastic so welcoming and so professional. The breakfast was stunning really delicious scrambled eggs and plenty of options for everyone’s taste. Chagford is a beautiful village with some lovely shops and cafes and a wonderfully peaceful church to spend a quiet few minutes. Some good circular walks to enjoy in the area.

Had a delicious Passion Fruit Martini and dinner in the crowns. Our waiter Jamie was polite, professional and ‘passionate’. Lovely atmosphere. Will come again.

Stopped in for a late breakfast/brunch. The staff were lovely and friendly, very welcoming. The breakfast was very nicely presented, delicious to taste as the ingredients seemed quality, sausage was delicious. Can’t fault it. Even the dogs had snacks. Thank you.

Superb service. Delicious lunch, nicely presented.

We only ate and whenever we are staying around this area will always book a table. Great chips, salt and pepper squid and soft shell crab, first for me this time.

Excellent meal in beautiful surroundings. Typical old Devon hotel. Staff were very attentive, especially Jamie B, who took our leg pulling over drinks in good humour!

Very friendly place. Lovely seats by the fire. Food was amazing as ever.

We were recommended here by a friend and will be back. Everything from the call to booking to the room was outstanding. Even better they are no just dog tolerant they are dog friendly. Extra sausages at Breakfast for the dogs!

A great birthday meal in Chagford. Fish special risotto excellent, good portion sizes, well worth a visit if in the area whether for a drink or food.

We stayed for 2 nights with a group of friends . What a perfect place to stay. The staff were always helpful & friendly ,the food was very tasty, well presented & definitely a cut above normal pub food. Excellent breakfast too. Our room was clean & well equipped , with a very comfortable bed . Highly recommend it & would definitely return.

Never felt so unwelcomed in a restaurant ! Had booked the restaurant for 7pm to celebrate a special occasion after driving 300 miles. Were sat down and had to wait about 30mn for someone to come over to take our drinks and food order. This after flagging up to them that no one had come to see us . After 25 mn , drinks still did not arrive so I eventually crossed the room to get some from the bar myself .The rest of the meal was about the same throughout , poor service all along . As to the food itself : it was un-edible : greasy squids to start with followed by a greasy chicken Ceasar salad doused in insipid dressing ... I can cope with bad food but certainly not with table service as bad as this, it simply ruined the whole evening and is appalling . Sadly there were no excuses for it as the restaurant was well staffed and it wasn't super busy .Don't get into the hospitality business if you can't get the basics right !!

Very friendly staff, great steak & lovely rooms.

I wish this was my local, lovely thoughtful welcoming staff. Great food, lovely room and the setting was beautiful I would give it 10 stars if I could

This is a lovely spot - even on a gloomy day. The hotel has charm with some characterful sloping floors and a super-comfortable bed in the room. The staff were friendly and the food delicious (although the size of the dinner portions defeated us) Lovely to arrive and see our name on the dedicated parking space at the back - it made us feel very welcome.

My husband and I ordered two sandwiches, we were then given one steak sandwich and I was given a prawn starter. I informed the waitress that I’d ordered a sandwich, she took the food away then brought it back and asked if I wanted that anyway! I said no and then had to 15 to 20 mins to bring out my sandwich (which was average at best). We had no check back and know one cleared our plates. We eventually had to go to reception to ask to pay, I advised I wasn’t happy to pay for the full meal, initially they had excuses prepared as to why I should pay, one of them being that I was told there would be a wait which did not happen. Due this they agreed to comp my meal, I’m shocked this wasn’t offered initially anyway as the mistake was there’s to being with. I do think the staff had assumed we were tourists but unfortunately we are very local and will not be returning. Last bit of feedback I have…train your staff on how to pronounce Korev. Its embarrassing.

What an absolute waste of a 90 mile round trip, do not believe the hype. Dirty menus and average “fryer food”. The lady who served us first was so lovely and welcoming to our dog. The other team member (bloke) was rude and abruptly dismissive. Drinks were sent back twice, given prosecco (flat twice which tasted of vinegar) they then opened a new bottle and no problem, but this FOH team member needs to move on or get some serious customer service training! I’m only leaving this review really because of how rude he was, we didn’t stay for food as planned.

My husband Sandy and I stayed at the Three Crowns in August. The moment we arrived we were greeted warmly by Adam and immediately felt comfortable. The atmosphere is professional and relaxed. We will certainly be staying there again next summer. The room was very comfortable, and the food was fabulous.

Stayed in a Superior Room . Car parking allocated on arrival with good attentive service and friendly well trained staff . The bar area was cosy and relaxing and the bright dining room was spacious and clean. The meal was very good and service throughout was above average . The room itself was very presentable and well maintained although the shower mixer needed attention and was reported to management ,so hopefully attended to by now . A good place to stay ,peaceful and relaxing .

Absolutely beautiful pub perfect decor lovely location fantastic menu and extremely good food went for lunch around 2 food took a little longer than perhaps expected but hey I almost wonder if that was a good thing as your on Devon time and lunch should be relaxed our only observation to have made our visit perfect was we didn’t get checked in on - not a criticism, it wasn’t busy and plenty of staff about who where very good and obliging I just think you have such an incredible pub it just lost you a few points but honestly really nice will deffo be back and yes we did mention at the time to staff who were lovely had a nice chat and appreciated the feedback.

Smiling and friendly service here and our Basset Hound made very welcome too. Beautiful old pub with fantastic feel and open fires. Chagford is also well worth a visit, there's everything you need and a lovely village feel to this little place. Gorgeous !!

Lovely inside and out, but the service was awful - waited ages to order food in spite of best efforts to attract staffs attention. Cheeseburger wasn't very nice but wife enjoyed her seafood platter. At that price was a disappointing experience when it should have been a treat.

Just stopped off for a quick lunch break. Glad we did too. The food was amazing. Pie of the day fantastic definitely worth stopping off.

We stayed at the Three Crowns for three nights. Welcome was warm and friendly. All relevant information given and opportunity to book a table for dinner. Rooms were clean, comfortable and well presented. Staff were always available to order snacks, drinks and answer questions. Food was fantastic, especially the evening meals. The lamb, mint and apricot pie on the specials menu was the best I have ever tasted. Thank you all for an amazing break in this lovely village. See you soon

We decided to visit for a meal, as it states they are a dog friendly place to eat ....and yes it was...with some dog treats too which our little boy thought was great. We were seated in the lovely old bar area. Lovely atmosphere with very friendly staff, very attentive. Menu has something for everyone. Food was absolutely delicious, we both agreed it was the best and tastiest we've had in a long time. We had starters and mains. The delivery was fast, efficient and plates were plentiful. The service wasn't pushy, there was plenty of time to enjoy each course. I just wish I'd had room for a dessert. Will definitely be making a return visit when we are next in the area.

Rooms are cheap and cozy. Location and setting was good. Would avoid eating here - breakfast was ok. Hotel Restaurant food was poor; bland. 2* due to poor front of house service

We have been to three crowns so many times over the last 10 years . But recently the older gentleman has ruined the experience . He forgets what we ordered the last two time and brings out wrong burger. He is then very pushy about giving a service charge which is very rude. I suggest you get rid of the gent as it's ruining the business.

Nice place to sit outside and relax within Chagford. Very nice interior also.

Superb Experience from start to finish. It was a busy Saturday evening but the staff were so welcoming to us. We were seated in the lounge bar area with a roaring fire and then served possibly the best roast dinner ever.. beautifully cooked and very generous portions. The menu was very interesting and varied but after a wet day the roast was perfect .. the atmosphere was cosy and welcoming.. even paying was pleasant as the staff were so considerate.

The day was miserable from teeming rain. We were soaked and in need of hot coffee. The staff were lovely and friendly. The place has bags of charm and great ambience. Sat watching as plates of food were brought out to other customers we observed goodly portions of delicious looking food. Also noted said food was readily devoured

Food was good but service was slack. He took our order and served the second round of drinks. Which was wrong, and then to be told that’s what you ordered.After that, no where to be seen. Food was served by different members of the team. The host and bartender were nice enough.

We loved seeing this pub again, and there was a decent crowd for a Tuesday lunchtime. My partner ordered hake with the chowder but when it arrived she wanted my monkfish curry instead. That was fine by me, I never seem to enjoy monkfish, and I thought the hake (which she hadn't so much as prodded with a fork) had a look of succulence about it. We exchanged plates and I was happy at once with the swap. The fish indeed was succulent and there was a little crispness to the skin. With some pepper the chowder was very nice. I'd have it again tomorrow if I could

Popped in here as a family of three for an impromptu drink on a wet afternoon. It was busy but we managed to get a seat at a table in the bar area. It's a nice pub. Friendly staff and busy. Cosy. Would definitely return.

The food was great and Jamie was a great waiter

Beautiful tranquil clean and cosy. Staff are lovely, the main man serving was friendly and attentive and the bar man was also. The inside area is so cosy and historic and beautifully candle lit. Dog friendly too and dog friendly room. The only downside were the fold out beds for my boys. My lads are 13 and 10 and the beds were not comfortable at all which limited out stay. Apart from that issue the only other thing I would mention is drinks are quite pricy. Breakfast is good and staff once again lovely. The toilets are clean and smell lovely.

One of the greatest joys of travelling is stumbling upon places like this. Great atmosphere and when that comes with friendly staff, good food and a good variety of drinks, beer and wine then its kind of a jackpot. I loved this place and would recommebd going here for lunch.

We went to the Three Crowns for lunch on Monday. We were shown to the bar instead of the restaurant with the explanation that nobody was in the restaurant. My guests said they were happy to eat in the bar but maybe they were just being polite.I found the seats too low to eat comfortably at the table and would have preferred the bright spacious ambience of the restaurant. Other members of my family have had the same experience on previous occasions, I wonder why they avoid using the beautiful restaurant.

My daughter booked a table for 6 family members on Mothers Day. Food was excellent. My only moan was the fact that my 94yr old mum dropped her bread roll which came with the Prawn Cocktail.i asked the waitress if we could have another . She returned from the kitchen and said there would be a charge for another one or we could have a slice of whole meal bread. We had 2 bottles of wine at £35 pound per bottle and with drinks before our bill amounted to £300 . Surely they could have given us a free bead roll !!

Visited the Three Crowns and sat by the fire on a cold day,a long walk, bautiful pub, cosy atmosphere with amazing food and good service. Will defo go here again and bring more of our tribe.

Lovely meal with family at the Three Crowns. A lovely spot in Chagford with a stunning inside area. Food is up to par with the interior design- fresh, tasty and divine. Enjoyed the chicken burger which was lovely. Will be here again when I return to Devon with family. Very accommodating for a large group of people as well as a small dog.

An impromptu overnight stay with dinner and breakfast. A brilliant stay, great attentive knowledgeable staff, food and drink all top notch and a peaceful night's sleep....all at a great price...what's not too love Thank you all at the Three Crowns keep doing what you're doing 😀

went for a meal on Valentine’s Day, food was absolutely amazing! We were served by Lucy and Scott who went out of their way to make us feel very welcome, always asking if everything was okay with our meals. Would highly recommend this pub! 10/10 for the food & 10/10 for the service!!!

Adam is the man ! From the point of booking in through the evening and breakfast the next day to check out he and the rest of the staff couldn't have been any more helpful. Lovely stay. Lovely meal. Lovely room.

We popped in for a coffee, great atmosphere with a real fire and comfortable chairs. We didn’t eat or stay over but I’d be surprised if it was anything other than amazing. Tucked away in the main street of Chagford, it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re passing.

We were in Okehampton on a dog-training holiday and had an empty day, so met some friends here for lunch. It was great! Really comortable with the dogs (about 6 in our bit of the pub) and the food was delicious. I have the stuffed pork belly, my partner had the fish and chips and our friends had a sharing platter. all looked as good as they tasted.

We stayed two nights at the Three Crowns. I left my jewellery in the top drawer by the bed and this has all been returned to me. I can't thank the cleaner and Adam (who put it all in the safe) enough.

Friendly and welcoming. Good food which is well presented. Very good wines by the glass. Good service.

Not impressed. We booked for New Years Eve , we were told it was a set menu which sounded great. However once seated at our table we were told there was no Venison no fish no pork belly and then proceeded to give us the

Just spent three days at this hotel as part of their 3-night Christmas package. The staff were excellent and despite the fact that they worked so hard for everyone, were always smiling and will to go the extra mile (in particular Adam and Ewen). The food was wonderful and the room clean and functional. Its an old pub with a huge amount of charm right in the middle of the village, which in turn, is right in the middle of Dartmoor. Would definitely recommend this hotel and the Christmas package.

We popped into the Three crowns for a late afternoon cup of tea before Xmas and the town was winding down to close . When we got in the helpful staff asked if we wanted anything to eat and we went for a ham Sandwich and an egg mayonnaise sandwich The sandwiches which were made by Adam As the chefs hadn’t started yet were great with the ham One especially extremely good one of my best ever! Great service great product and lovely staff Especially Adam! For His sandwich skills

Only here for lunch and well worth the visit - highly recommended

Beautiful pub in a quaint village on the edge of Dartmoor. Three visits now, staff have always been friendly and welcoming. Food has been delicious on each visit, well worth a visit if you're in the area.

A smart yet comfortable pub and hotel where we have just stayed for two nights enjoying fabulous food and being looked after by the five star staff all of who were first rate including David, Adam, Lizzie and Lucy

Following a long flight over and 4-hour drive, the welcome from Three Crowns (specifically Scott) was timed perfectly. Scott and the entire TC team were as pleasantly and professionally guest-anticipatory as you will find at any lodging, anywhere. Our room (21) was both cozy and a bit quirky. The room is at the "end of the line" from boilers and it took some time to get hot water. (Scott and I will always have a healthy disagreement on the definition of "hot" water.) Dining was without question superb - ample breakfast variety and generous portions at dinner. Try the brat bites and if a true carnivore go for the pork-lamb-beef trio. Overall the Three Crowns exceeded expectations; staff the embodiment of "guest, first and foremost" esprit. A+++

Cosy, warm welcome on a cold day. Food was excellent and the staff very pleasant. Hope to visit again.

The three crowns is lovely. Fire places, good food, lovely staff. HOWEVER no EV charger on-site (a bit odd given its target clientele - and how cheap a couple of 7kW chargers are).

We popped in here for tea mid-morning after a long walk, ended up staying for drinks by the fire and loved it so much we went back for dinner the same evening. Good old fashioned country pub, with excellent, reasonably priced food and drinks and great service. Lovely to see a pub thriving in these difficult times.

In the hearth of the village, facing the church yard, this building has it all. Charm, style, tradition and elegance. We didn't stay here today but booked in for lunch. The restaurant is extensive. The traditional entrance area by a huge stone fire place and the bar. We could have chosen the conservatory section, light and inviting. I must admit that our experience here started with the phone call, Georgia (the manager) was kind and professional and understanding. But also the girls at the bar. Professionally run Atmospheric gastro pub. The lamb pie was delicious out together busting in flavors. The curry was just a thought of heat but decorated with dry chilies. Perfect match.

Must go spot when on Dartmoor, lovely food and calm, friendly atmosphere. Lovely service from Flora!

Enjoyed a lovely meal in restaurant fantastic standard of food and sensibly priced, very polite and attentive staff 👍

Perfect weekend getaway. Lovely location, tasty food with good service.

We have visited this several times and always had a great time. The staff are very friendly and the food is great. A beautiful building with lots of history. Great at any time of year. Dog friendly. We will be back again soon.

I have been coming to this pub for many years as I used to be local however not since the big renovation. The update has been done respectfully to the area with keeping the cosy village pub we all love. With that said it still feels modern and chic thus pleasing all. We were served by the very polite and attentive Sarah. Lovely smile and gave great eye contact, fast serving and all round wonderful customer service. Definitely an asset to the business. The building is easily accessible with an electric wheelchair (apart from the original cobbled short path to the front door) and is dog friendly. I had hoisin belly pork with beansprout salad and my guest had the French onion soup. Both were outstanding. To drink we had pot of local tea and pint of Korev which is a Cornish lager and really smooth drink. We will definitely be returning! Well done team!

Clean, comfortable, well-equipped rooms - the bathrobes were a nice touch! Dinner was good, breakfast not bad. Central location in a pleasant small town. Good place to stop if you're walking the Two Moors Way.

Lovely hotel/restaurant/bars. Would not use it if I didn't like it as there is plenty of competition from other places. Staff always pleasant and keen to do their job.

Overnight stay with evening meal and fantastic breakfast

Stayed here for one night in September. It was a really comfortable stay. Since lockdown I have not had any really good pub meals but this was the best Sunday dinner meal I have had for a long, long time. Excellent wine list to boot! Thank you to all the staff for an enjoyable stay. A special thank you to Georgia for returning my charger. ; ) We will definitely be back when we revisit Dartmoor.

Plenty of choice sandwiches and small cakes following a wake in the church opposite. Helpful staff on hand.

Lovely space. Great food. Good choice of drinks. Fab staff.

Stayed just one night very pleasant we were also blessed with hot weather in October. Sat outside all afternoon and dinner in the conservatory. Food really nice and friendly staff. Just one observation waiters and waitresses when you bring food or drinks to the table take away the previous glasses, we were limited for room on a round table for 4 so was very cluttered and when the cheese board arrived there was no room even then the glassed weren't removed. Small thing I know but the eye is in the detail. We'll be back.

I have emailed the Three Crowns with reference to our awful experience, unfortunately they haven't been bothered to reply to me. I have to agree with another diner who said it feels more like a Wetherspoons (except Wetherspoons staff have good training) Rude Staff (except one of the waitresses) Very rude "Assistant manager" Food mediocre (worst hummus and tzatziki I have ever had) Unhygienic staff practices Sink out of order in the ladies, tap and hand dryer not working in the corridor area Lack of staff training Dirty Menu's Etc Etc Etc Such a shame as I have been going to the Three Crown's for years but I have just had my last visit.

Ordered 2 sandwiches totalling £25 but chef had a emergency and left site. So had to make do with cake and crisps. (At least GF cake was available) Service felt really slow but maybe we were tired and hungry the reception for the hotel rooms seemed to be permanently staffed rather than staff helping out around the pub. Cake was alright 👍

Accommodation truly lovely. Staff all very helpful and attentive. Excellent food and wine. Highly recommended!!

As we was staying at a hotel due to training and traveling from Manchester we was recommended the three crowns And definitely well worth the recommendation The food was absolutely beautiful definitely worth the mlney the staff was lovely and very welcoming Next time when we visit we be coming here again Thank you so much

Sunday 20th August 2023, we drove into the village of Chagford, go to ‘The Three Crowns’ Hotel, where we were booked in for one night’s dinner, bed and breakfast. We arrived at ‘The Three Crowns’ Hotel around 5.30pm. We were greeted by the manager and...

This was our very belated honeymoon. Could not have wished for a better place staff fantastic food excellent really somewhere special and well worth a visit

Where to start, absolutely shambolic! Arrived and shown to a superior room off the courtyard. The noise from the massive kitchen extractors was unbearable. Immediately we went back to reception and said we couldn’t stay in that room, terms and conditions shot back at us,...

Great place to stop for lunch on Dartmoor 🙂

Lovely food as always. Great service. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Cayla looked after us well. We had a lovely evening.Thank you.

Lovely dinner at the Three Crowns last evening. We had the monkfish and prawn curry with rice that was delicious. Excellent service from our waitress Cayla.

Delicious and lovelybuilding with oldy worldy and light airy conservatory

Excellent food, pleasant staff always helpful and happy

Called in for a late lunch with my elderly mum who is in a wheelchair, we ate in the snug, excellent food, good service and all the staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely come back.

Visited on two occasions during our stay in Chagford and was more than impressed by the staff, service and food. Would like to thank them for helping us on a Friday night after been asked to leave another establishment as our dogs made some noise....

We have dinner here a couple of times every summer on our holidays. It never disappoints. Lovely friendly welcome from the great staff and food is always delicious. Great menu and beautifully served food. See you next year 😊

The best thing about the Three Crowns is the original bar area with its large fireplace and ancient windows. The rest of the eating area is much modernised from my previous visit a number of years ago, which detracts from the hotel’s charm. But I...

After a few bad meals here in the last couple of years we gave it another go but again it was poor. We were served by 3 different members of staff - one was really quite rude, one was polite but a bit disinterested and...

Very impressed with the quality of service. Staff are clearly trained in customer service. Room was comfortable and clean. Food price was a little higher than you may expect but given the quality I felt this was a reasonable cost. Good location and well managed. Decor of the pub is very fitting and compliments the wilds/villages of Dartmoor. I would certainly come again and recommend others to stay. As a personal note I do wish to thank Alex and Scott - their professionalism really made my stay enjoyable. Would recommend - which given some of my reviews at other places is rare. The Three Crowns is certainly worth visiting.

A great lunch experience brilliant food the service was great and really caring staff so patient and attentive thanks!

Food was great - especially the cheesecake with salted caramel. Staff friendly & attentive. It is a shame that the courtyard outside at the back is blighted by huge noise of hotel extractor fan ... far too loud ... yet ‘they can’t do anything about that’!! The noise is so loud, it echos around the whole outside space and would impact all the hotel windows facing the courtyard

Very comfortable room, great food and friendly service. Dog friendly.

Disappointed that we had to wait so long - 40 minutes to get our food. We were told Salmon Nicosia was on the menu and chicken and mushroom pie but but they were not. .
