This is an amazing place to stay for a few days. The landlady is a total delight. So kind, no words to describe it. The Sunday Roast is a plate we will not forget so easily. The Thelbridge Cross Inn is an iconic landmark in this gorgeous area.Rooms: The rooms have all what you need. The bed is good.Food & drinks: The menu has it all. The Sunday Roast is perfect.

Beautiful pub and great food. Best in the area.We have just had a lovely meal at this pub. Great value and tasty food. Huge portions. Very friendly staff and the pub has a proper pub feel which is so nice.It’s one to beat in the area that’s for certain.

My boyfriend and I have visited here a couple times in the last few months and both times have received outstanding food and kind and polite service. The Thelbridge inn has a unique and peaceful ambiance and expresses vintage character. A truly wonderful pub hidden away in the stunning countryside. Very much anticipating my next visit.

This place was a gem of a find, we had a wonderful stay here last Friday. The place is in a beautiful spot in the middle of nowhere. The room was lovely and very reasonably priced, the staff were very friendly and helpful & the food was banging. Can't fault this place, if ever ur in the area I highly recommend a visit!

I visited here with seven friends. One of us had been here before and suggested we all stay over so we could have a meal and enjoy the facilities. So we did. The pub is in the middle of the beautiful North Devon countryside, not far from both Exeter and the beaches and resorts of the north coast. First impressions were good- a clean, rustic country inn, with friendly staff and a god range of drinks. We had a look around and discovered that the place is huge! Two bars, a separate restaurant, outside gardens, and even a large function room with bar and poll table. We had a few beers and played pool and table tennis, before visiting the restaurant. The menu is fairly extensive and to my eye caters for most tastes, and the food was great as was the waiting staff. The pub has 8 rooms- 7 doubles and a large suite- all of which are en suite. Mine was small and a little dated, but spotless and had all the facilities one would need for a short stay. Breakfast the next day was a classic full English. Faultless. The pub has only been in the current owner’s hands for a couple of years, and they are gradually upgrading. COVID has clearly taken its toll and it was very quiet wh3n we visited (Sept 2022), but with the friendly service, great food and extensive facilities, this pub deserves to be packed out. Would make a great base to explore N Devon, a short break, or just or a cosy venue for a lovely Sunday roast. Best of luck to the owners.

On a recommendation we decided on a ‘Pub Stop Over’ in our VW camper. We contacted the pub as recommended including booking a table for two. The service was out of this world.?The food and the scenery was better than any five star establishment. Food outstanding Service outstanding Campervan stopover outstanding. Water and electric available.

Popped over to The Thelbridge Cross Inn for a bite to eat for my birthday. The food was amazing. I had a burger, and was by far the best burger I have ever eaten, complimented by beautiful golden crispy onion rings. My good lady had pork in cider sauce from the specials menu and enjoyed every mouthful. Will definitely be returning soon. 5* service all round.

We came off route, two moors way and stoped for Sunday roast at Thelbridge Cross. The lady owner as we walked in very cheerful and friendly with bit of banter. We ordered the Sunday roast and it was plentiful and nice with two young pleasant lads serving. We enjoyed the food beer and atmosphere as well as the nice lights by the bar.

It do not look much from the front but get round the back and it is ok food good service good will be going there again
We live within walking distance , so we decided to wonder up and have a couple of drinks yesterday.. Basically the place is empty for a reason.. it’s overpriced , and low quality. Two strikes and you’re out unfortunately. Quick tip , learn how to make iced coffee , and when someone says it’s not good , don’t be so condescending as to think it’s acceptable to put some cold water on a spoonful of coffee !

We needed somewhere to stopover in our motorhome on the way to Cornwall and we landed on the Thelbridge Cross Inn. Louise and her team could not be more friendly, welcoming and accommodating, they genuinely care. £11 a night for water with electric hookup plus you get the option to add breakfast for £12.95! And what a breakfast it is with a plate full of local produce, you won’t need to eat for the rest of the day! Very dog friendly, treats available for well behaved ones as well! They can dine with you in all areas of the pub with the except of the dining room being dog free. If you get bored of the stunning views across the countryside then there are pool tables, table tennis and a juke box. The food is second to none and super tasty plus reasonably priced. They also have bedrooms above the pub available to book. If your are not staying for a stopover, it would be a great location for countryside walking summer or winter. Hopefully we can get to go back soon.

We stayed at the Inn with our friends, there was 4 adults, 1 child, and the dog. The room had very comfy beds with a massive t.v. It had a kitchen with everything we needed a beer fridge kettle microwave, hot choc tea coffee, different teas with milk and packets of biscuits. The bathroom had a massive bath and a shower. Very nice. The restaurant served lovely food and theres a games room. Staff very friendly. We will definetly come back.

Charming little place to stay on our trip around Devon. Rooms was cosy enough but quite thin walls could hear people in next room quite easy unfortunately. Set in lovely peaceful surroundings though. On arrival it was hard to find anyone about to check in and on checking out again there was no-one to say goodbye too. We ate on one night there and can say the food was great.
