west country inn in Torridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Decided to try as wanted somewhere local that we haven't been to before. Was pleasantly surprised. Meal was very well cooked and presented. Plenty of veg. Good Yorkshire puds and lovely Cauliflower cheese. The apple crumble was home cooked rather than bought in as many places are and wasn't overly sweet. Would definitely go back again.

Our first visit to this lovely pub for Sunday lunch. Booked to have Sunday roast. Lovely atmosphere and welcoming log burner. Was made to feel very welcome . . We ordered our lunch and we didn’t have to wait . The meal was delicious perfectly cooked with good choice of meat & veg. Generous portions and very reasonably priced. The desserts looked amazing but sadly we didn’t have enough room to eat any more. Will definitely be returning and thoroughly recommend.

Um, not a good experience sadly. We'd booked a room for 2 nights. And arrived at approximately 5:10pm, as the checkin information stated that checkin wasn't until after 5pm. The place was in total darkness and just 1 vehicle in the car park apart from ours. We however proceeded to walk towards the building, where a lady with a dog appeared to have just exited the building, and asked us whether she could help us. We told her we had a room booked, the response was 'oh, what name?' We gave her our name and that still clearly didn't register with her, as she then asked us who we had booked through. It was quite clear she was not expecting us. However, she proceeded to tell us she could check us in, and put the heating on in our room, but the bar wouldn't be open until 6pm. With the place in darkness, a less than positive reaction from this person, and a bar not open until 6pm, it really didn't fill us with confidence or a warm welcome feeling. We decided to leave, although we had paid for two nights. At which point the lady became quite unpleasant. A very unfortunate experience indeed. I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Maybe it's more welcoming in season. However, all is well that ends well, as we then booked in at 'The Hoops Inn' at Horns Cross. What a difference, a fabulous warm welcome, very helpful staff, and fabulous food, and excellent value for money. Well worth a visit.

Visited for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Four choices of meat and a good selection of vegetables. Servings were huge and well worth the £14 also a large selection of desserts. Service was excellent and Laura Swain is always very friendly, polite and goes above and beyond. Would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area. We will definitely be visiting again 👍🏻

No way do I recommend this hotel. Shabby, room had cobwebs and crumbs on the floor. Everything was too much trouble for the lady who runs it. Needs a good make over and change of management

Perfect. If your looking for tradion look no further...Staff.welcoming...food brilliant.... price even better... whats to think about

At first, we didn`t have great confidence in this pub. There was only one solitary other diner and we wondered whether we might have chosen poorly. We changed our minds when the food arrived. Our table (of six) had ordered several different dishes from the extensive menu. All were very good and we were well satisfied.

Thank you to Jay and all those at the The West Country Inn for a fabulous meal, our 1st time visiting. Scampi, Rib Eye Steak and Lamb Shank - perfectly cooked and delicious, even Miah the doggy eventually devoured her treats. See you again tomorrow for Sunday lunch. Highly recommended for anyone travelling through or visiting the area, thank you so much 😊 💕 x Ally, Roger, Jennie & Family Beer x

A slightly ragged experience, we are local to the area so knew what to expect, for sophisticated travellers however it might be a step too far. We had dinner, and breakfast the following morning, not the best value for money but prices have gone crazy in the UK recently and I think places are exploiting that in many cases.

This place is dated and is reflected in the furniture some of it badly marked the room was very dusty and black mould in the shower the top of the unit holding the kettle was broken and the kettle nearly tipped over on to our little boy which would have scolded him food ok but not as advertised on siteturned up for breakfast at 8.30 no one there all locked up they turned up 15 mins later the two ladies there were very nice though it won’t stay again

We spent 3 nights at the West Country Inn, initially visiting for The Herring Festival at Clovelly. Lovely log fire in the main lounge/bar area. The owner has kept it authentic inside with lots of old, historic photographs and items on walls, including a boars head! Hosts are lovely! Would definitely come again, thank you for a great stay.

We booked a twin room. It didn’t feel like it had been used for ages. It was very dusty. The carpet was very thin and the bedding too. The room window was directly above the smoking are so couldn’t be opened to vent the room. The bathroom window opens onto the fire escape so did not want to leave this one open either. The shower door had no handle, it was a suction hook, which was not very suctiony. (Broken by a previous guest) Inside the shower was lots of black mould, all around the edges and the tray did not drain well. The water is EXCEPTIONALLY hot, to a dangerous level. In the dining room at breakfast we found tinsel behind the very dusty cushions! The one lady we saw who checked us in, served breakfast etc was friendly and very, very busy!

On Friday 10th September 21 we had 1 night booked here It stated 5pm check in but we’d been out in wind and rain all day so thought as a pub perhaps somebody would be around so we could get some shelter On arrival outside was very disappointing overflowing dirty ashtrays flowerbeds full of weeds not inviting at all and all in darkness Check in at exactly 5pm taken to room which was ok but not spotless and very tired told breakfast is 8.30am!!quite late we thought but ok Have meal in bar in evening which was lovely go to room just falling asleep and get knock at our door I have to get dressed and go down and pay bar bill no I can’t pay before I leave it has to be done now!!!so don’t have a bar tab if you don’t want to be woken up!! Breakfast!!!!!we along with other guests who had clearly all been told 8.30 waiting no sign of anything being organised a very flustered lady comes down telling us normally people stagger breakfast and don’t all turn up together so wel just have to wait as she’s on her own so no breakfast for us due to being on a tight time scale I understand they are very short staffed but we stayed in numerous other places who had the same dilemma and still gave 10 out of 10 service this place is just totally unorganised which is a shame as could be an amazing place safe to say we wouldn’t recommend or stay again😩

Laura and Paula were excellent hosts and nothing was to much trouble. Located in a excellent location and absolutely brilliant food served. Already booked up for next month. Thank you ever so much for or your help throughout our stay. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Lee and Julie

We stayed at the West country Inn for 2 nights. After a very long drive we couldn't check in until 5/6pm and when we got there the door was locked. We rang the bell and after 10 minutes the landlady came down out of breath saying sorry she was upstairs. She said our room number and showed us to our room. First look the room was very nice but really did need a deep clean especially thr bathroom. We wanted to eat in the evening and when we asked for the menu we were told it was just roast that was on the menu that night. Meal was ok but nothing special. Breakfast on both days was not great eggs and sausages were undercooked. We asked if we were able to come back during the day and was told NO. Had to wait until 6pm before we could go back. We were visiting family while we were there and they wanted to join us for a meal and when they arrived they were asked who they were and not made feel welcome. Would not stay here again.

So I have been coming here for a few months now on a Sunday and I must say I'm not sure if there is a new cook or chef but our Sunday roast for the past couple of weeks have been amazing. Even tho it was very busy when we ordered our food was the best we brought some family down last weekend and we will definitely 1000% be back and recommending to our guests also keep it up guys. Look forward to seeing you all soon.

I stayed one night at the West Country Inn with set expectations, which was wrong of me, as I was comparing it to the happy place that we spent many family holidays at when I was a child in the 70s. It was my first...

Sunday roast takeaways .. very average roast. Did not expect pickled red cabbage when it only saris red cabbage on menu. Staff were NOT wearing masks.

One of the best pub Sunday roasts I’ve had for a while! Lovely staff running the pub and lovely classic feel inside. Great prices too!

This is really just a pub. Food is fine, indeed generous, but the place and service lack soul and atmosphere

We came for Sunday lunch as had visited some time ago (and left review on here to say it was brilliant), but things have changed for the worse. On arrival we saw the sign at the door to sanitise and a stool which I assume...

Stayed at The West Country Hotel 28th - 30th September. Great hotel, clean comfortable rooms and fantastic food. Will definitely be back here Xx

Highly recommended. Absolutely fabulous food. Lovely environment Will be dropping by again very soon.

) has We stayed at the West Country inn for four nights two gifted to us by my brother and his wife and two extra that we paid for. We found it very quaint it is 400 years old and obviously you don’t expect a Premier inn we liked it and Laura the owner did her very best to make your stay as good as possible she is a very hard working lady she was very accommodating and treats everyone the same. As said in another review it is a bit out in the wilds but if you have transport it is not a problem. As I am a bit disabled I did find the stairs a bit of a problem but hey ho I’m still here I survived xx

The West Country Inn is situated on the A39 a few miles south of Clovelly village.

We are staying at the Hartland forest lodge site and popped in for a quick drink 1 dinner time. Hosts were very friendly. Went back for a meal that night sweet and sour chicken was lovely. Went back for Sunday carvery and a little cheery banter with the chef. Didn't realise the place was so big inside.. little bit more expensive that we are used to but that comes with the area I guess. Will definitely revisit

lovely old building, full of character, we stop here regularly for food, the Sunday carvery is not to be missed, it is superb, we found the staff to be very friendly and would go out of their way to make sure you where well looked after.

Been there many times to stay or eat. Sometimes it's a destination from 200+ miles. The full English is lovely and the roast superb. Not had a disappointing meal. Rooms are lively and the whole place has character. Plenty of parking too.

Had a roast here with my partner & 2 year old. It felt quite awkward & not very welcoming on entering, walking through the front door directly into the toilets. The bar lady was friendly. There wasn’t any directions & it’s quite a big place. Carvery was average, 2 for £15 as well. Desperately in need of a refurb as could be a lovely place. Wouldn’t be on my list to re-visit.

We used a Buy a gift voucher to partly pay for our experience. When we arrived the sun was shining so we sat out in the beautiful gardens with our cold ciders. We had some lunch, Jacket potato and prawns and a tuna ciabatta and chips. The meals were nice. It was quiet no one had checked in yet so we had the whole place to ourselfs. We then opted to go

I have never stayed anywhere so cold the accommodation was freezing .It is run down and needs some serious TLC. The front door was locked during the afternoon so couldn’t return when we wanted. However we did receive a nice welcome from the owner .

if you think about popping in here for a bite to eat dont bother the food is quite frankly awfull, nothing more to add apart from would never eat here again!!!!

He leído los comentarios de algunos de los huéspedes anteriores y me pregunto si nos alojamos en la misma propiedad.

A great warm welcome from Laura. Lovely cold beer beer and great food. A great family pub that is biker friendly with space to camp and park. Couldn't ask for anything more

Había varias personas comiendo cuando llegamos y la señora que lleva el bar era obviamente tomando pedidos y sirve comida y bebidas en su propio, supongo que alguien estaba haciendo la comida. El comedor estaba en necesidad de re-decoración y el vino se vendía en botellas tipo aéreas no de un botella de vino real. Nuestra carne de pollo comidas y sobresaliente estaban bien y a un precio razonable de £11/ 12. Era una noche húmeda cuando fuimos, pero había poco calor en el ambiente de la posada o la señora a cargo. acosadas No fue una experiencia acogedora.

Domingo, comedia de errores desde la reserva hasta que nos fuimos. Cobraron más de 25 libras. Dicho menú seis libras. 95 por comida para niños, 9 libras. 95 por adulto y £12. 95 por 2 campos. En primer lugar nos cobraron por 5 x 2 campos cuando sólo tenía 2 platos 4. 2 comidas 3 de niños tenía pero me dijeron que tenía que pagar el precio completo de adulto para ninguna de las comidas de 2 platos. 12 libras. 95! Seguro que no volveré.

No podría haber pedido un mejor servicio o comida! Nos alojamos en un lodge cercano a principios de noviembre para un fin de semana largo, aunque no tengo mucho que decir en lugares donde comer cerca, podría haber sido una mejor pub local! Todo el personal era muy amable y servicial, incluso el chef trajo la comida y era muy social y reír y bromear, y la comida era para morirse! De las tres noches que nos alojamos en la zona que comimos allí dos veces!

Metimos en para una comida rápida, muy cómodo y acogedor, con un personal agradable. La comida era buena y el personal servicial. No puedo opinar sobre las habitaciones, ya que no pasar la noche.

Se reunió con amigos para comida y bebidas. buen ambiente y excelente comida. Volveremos pronto y esperamos que

Un salto con la esposa y el perro y tuvimos una comida muy agradable. Todas caseras. Caro, supongo, pero comparado con los Midlands qué no es. La anfitriona era fantástico. Muy amable y todo un alboroto de el perro. Muy acogedor y un definitivo si su paso. No alojamiento también pero no ver que ya estábamos pasando por diners. Para un pequeño pub en el medio de la nada, me sorprendió ver una gran selección ale en poder conocer y ciruela Porter incluyendo.

Had a bad experience food was not up to scratch and over priced needs a good make over as better places to go which are more reasonably priced AVOID

Myself, my husband, 2 year old son and my father decided to eat out whilst on holiday in Bideford, North Devon pulling into the car park of the West Country Inn situated on the Atlantic Highway, Bursdon Moor, Clovelly. It was a little past 6pm and the Inn had not long opened but there were a couple of customers sat at the bar. We ordered drinks and food and waited for the food to arrive. There was no heating on or lit fires so the pub was pretty cold. When the food arrived, my son's pizza charged at £5.25 looked like a supermarket value pizza costing 50p and came with 1/4 tomato 1 cucumber slice and a couple of chunks of iceberg lettuce, the batter on my husbands fish, cost £10.95, was burnt my fathers gammon, cost £12.00 was thin, poor quality and greasy and my burger, certainly wasn't worth £8.95 and I had to share what chips I had with my son. We are not big on complaining so decided to eat what we had, my father settled the bill and we headed back to Bideford. On reaching our accommodation my father asked "do you know how much that meal cost?" and showed me the duplicate receipt. Unfortunately, he didn't check the bill at the Inn and didn't mention the cost whilst we were there. On looking at the receipt, my father had been charged for 2 kids pizzas totalling £10.50 and for 2 burgers totalling £17.90.I attempted to call the Inn and initially the reception was poor and I said I would call back. I tried again and spoke to a gentleman, started to explain what had happened and the receiver hung up. I tried again and the receiver was left off the hook so that I could hear other people in the Inn, and left waiting. I hung up and my husband tried to speak to the Inn, and he received the same treatment. I definitely would not recommend dining here. The food is overpriced, poor quality, extremely bad customer service, cold. Very very unhappy!

Mi marido y yo tuvimos una maravillosa cena de bistec, seguido por el mejor pudin. La comida estaba caliente desde la primera bocanada de pipping de última y el bistec preparado justo como pedimos, perfecto gracias mucho

This hotel is a little run down but pleasant. The food was excellent and good value. The staff were helpful but there were not enough to run all the facilities to a high standard. The room was comfortable. We took our dog and were charged twelve pounds for her to stay even though nothing was provided for that cost.

On arrival this looks like a ok place to stay as long as your not We decided to eat here as we arrived fairly late. The food took a long time to arrive almost an hour, but the landlady was the only one serving the food and the bar. As pub food goes it was nice. Generous portions. Some items on the menu are expensive.The decor in the room Was very dated, which is no issue when you just want somewhere to sleep. However it could do with an extermly good clean, make the fumigated. The rooms is not cleaned between your nights stay. At best the bed is quickly made.The first morning I woke up with 27 insect bites. Not what you want or need when your 30 weeks pregnant,By late morning we had to visit a pharmacy for advice as the bites began to blister.My husband had 15 bites but thankfully was ok.This is not acceptable from an establishment to be this unclean, it did make us wonder when it last had a good clean.The breakfast is ok. Fresh coffee instead of 8nstabt from a machine would be nice.The place is ok as a stop off for food if your passing, otherwise isn't worth a special trip out.However we would not recommend you stay here.We were lucky to have a room out the back.Your other choices are above the bar or over looking the A39.

A decent selection and choice on the menu.I had the Rib eye steak and the Sunday lunch both really good and the apple crumble was lovely.

This was our first visit and we found all of the staff to be extremely friendly especially Laura and the chef who cooked us a lovely meal. Laura cooked and served all of the breakfasts by herself and they were very tasty. Nothing was too much trouble.Our room which was number two was comfortable and provided us with all the things required for a relaxing weekend.

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and polite and bubbly will defantly be coming again

Myself and my friend stayed for one night whilst passing through, all staff that we met were very friendly and helpful, room was lovely and warm. We went down for breakfast at 08.30 and was greeted by the owner who cooked our breakfast and was very friendly, breakfast was excellent, we were asked if we enjoyed our stay which we did and would definitely stay again. Thanks Laura and the team

What a terrible experience we had at the inn. Stopped off on way home from Bude.The carvery area was in a damp, dirty room away from bar area.The food was cold, meat chewy and vegetables hard with gravy that had set thick & lumpy.The toilet facilities hadn't seen cleaning in the 20+ years since I went to disco there.No hand wash, mound on walls & ceilings with a manky hand towel to wipe your hands.Not for the faint hearted which is a shame as with the right owners could be a goldmine.

This was one of my bike clubs monthly rides out. Nice part of the country with pleasant roads & scenery. A little disappointed that on the day when about 15 of us turned up, the restaurant started a new member of staff & left him to it.Food was OK, but took quite a while to be served.

My partner and I were staying in nearby Hartland this week, and on our way back from a day trip into Cornwall we decided to stop off at this hostelry for our evening meal.The bar was just about to open, so we ordered our drinks and chose our meals from the menu...so far, so good.We asked to eat in the restaurant section as opposed to the bar, as the prices were more restaurant orientated than public bar fare!I had a soup which was ok, nothing special, but ok, the bread that accompanied it was of the sort you buy and then bake yourself, which is pretty poor when you're eating out.My partner had the duck dish, which was mediocre, but again, it was ok.I had a mixed grill that was generous in size, but apart from the steak the other meats were overcooked.The reason for this review however is because of what transpired whilst I was eating my meal.I had ordered a Stilton sauce to accompany my meal and as I was eating I bit onto something hard.It turns out I had a piece of plastic in my food, which being white I hadn't noticed in the sauce, which incidentally was pretty ropey, thin and fairly tasteless.However, I wasn't particularly enjoying my meal and after the plastic turning up I'd had enough!When the plates were collected I showed the lady and I couldn't believe her response.I got no apology, and we were told it was the FOURTH time it had happened! Apparently the cream cartons they use have a flip type top and it was that, that had been in the sauce.They break off we were told, and because they are the same colour as the sauce, the chef doesn't notice!A little later, the other lady came along amd asked if our meal had been ok, so we told her too (they obviously don't converse).She did apolgise, but I purposely didn't ask for a reduction in the bill to reflect the poor quality of our meal, just to see if it would be forthcoming.All we got was the same glib platitudes about the plastic cartons and how they would contact the supplier about it.In short I wish we'd never set foot in the place, it wasn't cheap, and I really begrudge giving hard earnt money to people who simply couldn't give a damn whether their patrons have had an enjoyable experience or not.Avoid this place.Just as an aside, when we were leaving we were asked by a fellow traveller if our meal had been any good ( I think he heard us talking as we walked back to the car)Turns out he was part of a group of four, all in one campervan.He had told them that the four of them wanted to eat and then spend the evening drinking in the establishment, so could they park up in the car park for the night?As it was still only about 7.30pm they would have spent a fair bit of money I'd imagine.BUT, they were told that there would be a £10.00 per head charge to sleep in the van, in the car park!.....consequently they went on their merry way.A lucky escape if you ask me!

It's like a old pub, warm atmosphere and looks inviting.Three of us went there for an evening meal. Originally the veg was served cold which we sent back and they reheated it without complaint. Two of us had a steak pie with puff pastry lids. The puff pastry was lovely however the steak was very chewy and in places hard and crispy. My father ordered a medium rare steak but the steak which was served was cooked as "Rare". Not a restaurant i would recommend using again,

It's like a old pub, warm atmosphere, easy talk. Food was good and tasty, big portion of food (at least for an italian).Service was not so quick but it's not a business restaurant, it's a relax restaurant.

Family of five called for meal at 6pm. Landlady looked drunk and unclean but we decided to give it a go as we were hungry after a busy day out. What a mistake, drinks were heavily watered for the kids soft drinks (just tasted of soda water not coke) and the meals were disgusting. When my wife attempted to pay the bill she had to wait ages whilst the drunken landlady flirted with a male customer who was staying there and shouted at her children who were serving in the back room. The toilets were filthy, no toilet paper, and the solution for a broken hand dryer was a dirty and damp towel that had obviously seen the floor several times, placed on top of it. The gents toilet cubicle wash awash with urine, also all over the seat too, it was so bad I had to hold my toddler son suspended over it so he could use it.It's a lovely looking (from outside) pub with a commanding position to make a lot of money from passing trade, but for whatever reason it's being run down. Families like mine will only visit once, but that's once too many for ours. The food was so greasy and such poor quality (expensive too!) that it actually made three of us ill.FAMILIES LOOKNG FOR FOOD AVOID AT ALL COST

We were thrilled to be able to meet up with old friends of my husband that he hadn't seen for many years The West Country Inn was a great halfway point between our holiday base, and their home, so seemed the ideal venue. We should, perhaps have been alerted by the fact that the place was empty apart from our party at lunch time on a lovely late spring day. We were a party of six, and there appeared to be two staff working front of house. Our initial round of drinks arrived one short, which was rectified when we asked for the rest of the round. Between us we ordered three baked potatoes, one steak pie, scampi and ham & eggs. The potatoes had a decent size portion of prawns with them, and fresh side salad. Ham was reported good, though the accompanying egg and chips described as luke warm.' Vegetables on both of the other dinners were left, probably another victim of 'luke warm'. We didn't try the deserts, so not able to make comment about them. I didn't have coffee, but my other half tells me it was hot and 'OK'

Arrived just after 12 for Sunday lunch without a booking but were easily accommodated as there were very few people there. We were a bit apprehensive as on our previous visit the place was packed. The meal when it arrived after quite a wait was very tasty although some of the vegetables were cold. We sat in the bar which was also very cold to such an extent that I had to put my coat back on. The lady behind the bar seemed to be the only front of house staff as she appeared to be manning the bar, serving the meals and clearing the tables on her own. If we are passing that way we will probably pay the Inn another visit.

Arrived for a 12.30 Sunday lunch booking for four (two elderly in-laws, my wife and myself) to find the place deserted - this should have been a warning! Eventually, at nearly 1 o'clock, the nearly cold, boring veg arrived (runny flavourless swede, broccoli, and carrots, plus leeks in cheese source), but we still waited for the meat plates. Three of the orders were small (child's) size and these plates also were cold on arrival. There seemed little point in complaining by now. When we did make a comment at the end of the meal, the waitress had to check with the chef, and returned with the explanation that the plates were 'not hot' so that children didn't burn themselves - this, in spite of the fact that we were a party of senior citizens!Not a good experience and not surprising that the place was almost deserted. I assume that very few make a return visit.

Fantastic Sunday lunch!Have driven past here so many times but can't wait to go again.Food was so so good,lovely owner and staff.Halloween decorations were fun!Would certainly go there for a special occasion.Seriously thinking about a Christmas meal there or maybe NYE.

The West Country Inn in Bideford is in a great location. The staff were willing to accommodate 21 of us in the bar area where dogs are also allowed. We were a little less fortunate when it came to the actual meal experience. We were told to order before 6pm so the chef could get organised and get our food out on time. I ordered the gammon which came with a side of chips. The chips came out as the first part of my meal, they were cold, so I sent them back and they were replaced with fresh ones. The gammon then came out, it had obviously been sat under a grill for an amount of time, it was solid! I then sent it back having not eaten any of the onion rings or pineapple that it came with. The chef then sent out another gammon steak (30 minutes later) with microwaved onion rings which had gone soggy as a result. I had also requested peppercorn sauce in the meantime, one of the staff members behind the bar was not impressed by this request and was making complaints about it to another staff member. I was only made aware of this because one member of our party overheard her. The steaks on our table came out undercooked to preferences and peppercorn sauce arrived after the steaks had been finished.The last meal came out an hour and 20 minutes after the order was placed. There were no apologies. Unfriendly and disorganised restaurant.

Ate here on our first night in the area, large party of us and we were glad to get a table. Menu looked fine and the adults in the party were happy. Unfortunately the children were not so lucky as first the burger didn't have any bacon and the waitress was quite insistent that I hadn't ordered it with bacon (I had) and the 3 other children had all ordered macaroni cheese which although it looked promising was basically inedible - it was literally pasta in oily cream with cheese grated on top.I did query with the waitress as to whether the chef had forgotten the cheese in the sauce but she came back and said there was definitely cheese in it! No apology or attempt to make amends despite the fact that they all left most of it. We all tried it and agreed it was just milky, oily, cream - disgusting.

Don't bother stopping here for a meal, we had to wait 90 mins, for a meal for two, when it finally arrived they had forgotten to provide the vegetables to go with the steak and ale pie, which was very chewy. The manageress told another customer who complained that they were lucky to wait 90 mins as other restaurants in near by Bude, you could be waiting 2 hours, The bar waitress Debbie was very apologetic about the wait and very friendly, shame the we had to wait so long.On paying the bill the owner never even apologised about the delay.

Lovely welcome, I was alone and stopped overnight, excellent reception, good service, excellent evening meal and a good breakfast, warm comfortable room.

Lovely old Coaching Inn on the moors. Have enjoyed meals on saturdays and a nice roast on sundays. My guy and I had a wonderful romantic valentines meal in the dining room as well as our usual meals in the pub area. I love the fire place on a cold winters night

Went here for a meal in August and would never go back again. We were told it would be about a 40 minute wait, wrong, it was a 90 minute wait! We had ordered 2 chicken curries which contained more cauliflower and sweetcorn than chicken, a lasagna which was dry and overlooked and fish and chips and the fish was extremely greasy and soggy. 3 burgers which were ok but nothing special. However the ham, egg and chips was very nice. Staff were not friendly and left us feeling like they couldn't be bothered with us. I had the curry and it was the worst meal I have ever had, even the poppadom's were soggy!

Booked a table for 9 people in the bar area as we had a dog. We were told the wait for food would be 30-45 minutes, which was ok as we weren't in a rush & it wasn't busy, so thought it would be nearer the 30 minute mark ...how wrong were we! 1 1/2 hrs later our food arrived: fish & chips with greasy batter, chicken curry with no flavour but loads of cauliflower & sweetcorn and lasagne which was black on top & just not very nice. Ham, egg & chips were ok, as were the burgers. Comments were made to staff about the long wait for food & poor curry, but there was no real apology or recompense for it. We won't be visiting again.

on our last night of our holiday, we decided to got to the west country inn to round off two lovely weeks in north Devon. As a large family, we have 4 children, they accommodated us well without problems, sitting at two tables. The menu was ok, good enough choice of food. My self and my husband ordered the fish and chips, the fish came so greasy that both of us felt sick well into the next day. My two older children ordered the Exmoor burger, this came undercooked to the point the burger was very very pink on the inside and had to send the burgers back. the staff said sorry, and got a fresh burger cooked, when stated that both burgers were raw they offered to cook a second burger to which we refused, as this has turned everyone off there meal.My two younger ones ordered off the children's menu, they had pizza and a burger no problems with there meal. We also ordered the pic and mix to go with our meal, the mozzarella sticks onion rings and shrimp bites, it wasn't until these ware placed on the table that we were told that they didn't have enough onion rings and had replaced the missing ones with the other two we had ordered.All in all, I feel the staff are ok, surroundings are lovely, but there food is appalling. total waste of £90.00! never again!!

My family and I went on a Sunday for the roast. Great taste, great service, fun atmosphere, large portions and great price. I enjoyed the main meal, beef and pork mix with all the veg you could want, I was full and satisfied. My kids, 5yrs, 9yrs and 12yrs enjoyed their main, they had beef, but tasted our pork and liked it, they then, as kids do, had desert and it was too much for them to finish. The main was great and the staff were fun. We will return for more..

Altough the barmaid was welcoming I ordered a steak sandwich,and it was the worst thing I have seen, it was just pieces of meat charred to death, I was the only customer, now I know why.
