Well what can I say… between Punch taverns and the new “landlords” this pub has died a real death! So, gone from a warm, vibrant pub with lots going on and a great local crowd backed up by visitors, to a dead, miserable hole of a place. There is a sign on the door informing visitors to shout through the door if they have a dog before they enter because the pub dog is vicious and will (has) attack any dogs entering. There is a smell of dog wee, and recently I had to step over dog diarrhoea in the back yard to get to the toilet. No heating, doors open to accommodate the dogs toilet needs. Terrible service, don’t drink the beer, lines clearly haven’t been cleaned. You will have stomach issues if you drink it. No food, no rooms, sad and depressing. I’d rather drink in weatherspoons and I hate weatherspoons..!

Wow how things have changed. We have been here a few times throughout the year and it WAS a lovely, friendly, and warm place with great locals and atmosphere. Now Keith and Alison have left it is no longer. We arrived and it was dark and cold. There was a mess at one end that nobody really cared about. The guy behind the bar was on his phone and didn't even acknowledge us. There was no locals in there and it had no atmosphere at all. Only one real ale on and to be honest it was awful. Wouldn't go back there again.

Having booked a room for my self and my wife via Booking.com and having phoned the property two weeks before regarding our stay we were not impressed to find the pub/hotel shut on our arrival and being informed it had been shut for 5 days due to a 'major issue'. No comms from Booking.com or the pub/hotel to advise us which left us to scrabble around to find other accomodation. Suggest you double check with the property as Booking.com were not even aware of the situation until we called them. It's still available on their website but is closed for"the foreseeable future" according to the FB page of the pub. Beware!

Went to watch the football. My dog and their dog went zoomies together and it was so sweet. Lovely owner and staff v friendly.

Do not ask for tea or coffee. After two rounds of drinks in as family group of 4 we asked politely for a hot drink only to be lectured on where you could get one in Tavistock-23 place’s apparently. This was after innocently engaging the landlord in discussion on beer choices and his pub Millwall paraphernalia only to receive condescending smart ass comments. We are regular visitors to Tavistock and will be surprised to see this owner still in business next year. Next stop, Wetherspoons. Welcoming, inexpensive and endless tea and coffee.

Really nice staff but there was a barking dog in the bar that was going on and on. We abandoned out Sunday roasts and left.

My husband and I just had a weekend at the Tavi Inn, and I must say everything was brilliant. The room was spacious and clean, comfy bed, incredibly nice staff and a beautiful home and reshly cooked breakfast ?

This Inn has very good reviews - so after a days cycling, we decided to stay here. The room was comfortable and large. However. When we were showed into the room we were told that there was going to be live music in the bar below. We were not told this, and would not have booked. The music went on till 11:20 pm and then noise out in the street below till 12:30 am - so not a quiet place to stay on a Friday night. The bedlinen and towels also smelt of cigarette smoke which is not good when you do not smoke.

Owners very friendly. Excellent breakfast. Room had all the little extras to make you feel at home and spotlessly clean
