Popped in one afternoon as it was near to where I thought I was staying for the weekend (turns out the postcode I was given was completely wrong, but how fortunate in the end). Was made to feel so welcome by everyone I met (including the cat and dog!). The beer was excellent, the natter even better. Love that there is a camping field at the back too, I will definitely be back!

Loved stopping in here. It's just around the corner from my off-grid accomodation. Silly me didn't have cash but they took care of me. You can expect some cash in the mail!!! So come prepared with cash. I haven't laughed this much in a pub since I found something similar in Donegal. This is what England is all about. Great ale, atmosphere and service. (Thanks you yo Claire as well, the best bar keep ever!)*No food on the night I visited but it didn't detract at all. I'd come back to this area just because of this pub.

Holidaying 5 minutes down the road, heard there was an Open Mic and popped along. Met the landlord and a bunch of locals outside and was immediately drawn into warm conversation and welcome. Borrowed a guitar and had a fantastic evening!

Stopped off to escape the rain while cycling past. Had a nice chat with the crew that was in there. Its out the way location only adds to its appeal.

Amazing pub, friendly, unique and good pints. Such a cosy atmosphere and the locals are fabulous. Great pricing also.

Great atmosphere, loads of history. If you feel important this will remind you that you are not. This is how pubs should be. Helps if you wear a wig and out of fashion clothes.Vegetarian options: Nice selection of crisps.Dietary restrictions: Great pizzas and Claire's cooking on a Thursday some times.Kid-friendliness: Staff are very young.

well, called by on a wet afternoon and enjoyed a couple of hours with the one of a kind landlord and his cat. Lovely welcome ! and well kept ale. Some of which i poured myself. The most friendly pub on Exmoor. Please never change.

We had a lovely meal here. It’s off the beaten track with a great food selection and beer garden. Plus it’s very reasonably priced.

Great old little pub with lots of character, friendly and worth a stop off.

Pulled up in my camper and met the landlord outside, he asked if he could help, I asked if he had a field to park in and if the pub was open to which he replied, there's the gate to the field and the pub is always open, help yourselves. An off-grid pub with a wood burner and great ale, what's not to like, it was like going back in time. A pizza van turned up to cook excellent pizza enjoyed by about 70 locals, what an atmosphere. A great community pub run by a very generous landlord, cheers .Stuart&Helen.

Really nice old fashioned

We loved this place!!! Quirky doesn't come close to describing this place!!! Amazing landlord. Completely off grid so don't expect fancy and that's what makes this place so charming. No food. Cash only. Real ales straight from the cask. Lovely garden too. Would love to go back. Hopefully, one day
