Why not come & relax in our intimate & welcoming bar?
It’s always warm and cosy in front of our wood-burning stove when the weather is cold or, in the warmer months the sliding doors can be folded back, opening up the bar to an outside decking area with tables and chairs. From here you can view the beautiful rolling Devon hills in daytime, watch the amazing sunset in the evening or view the stars at night in all their glory.
The hotel has a fully stocked bar including a large range of wine, spirits, bottled beers, draft lagers and soft drinks.

Evening meals are only provided by prior arrangment for groups of six or more guests and we can offer private dining in our dining room.
For all other guests we are fortunate to have numerous local restaurants and pubs that are of high quality.
