Stunningly beautiful building, nice pub room, terrific staff. Food is top notch, all local and top quality. Great all round. We love it, have eaten there on 3 occasions and stayed there twice. We'll definitely be back.

A really beautiful setting I have been several times before and was very impressed with the food and service. On this occasion, however, the food and the service were mediocre. Not the experience I had had previously, The server was rather cold and off-hand and she made me feel unwelcome. The food was served in a good time frame but lacked flavour in my opinion. Still a pleasant evening and I would return, but on this occasion, I felt a little disappointed.

Beautiful ancient Inn nestled in the pretty village of Dartington. Great atmosphere, and it’s super cosy inside on a cold night with two real fires burning and fantastic food.

Went in for my birthday on 27th December. Very busy indeed. Great vibe, lovely pub. The service was impeccable by who I presume was the flamboyant owner. Very nice and attentive by all staff.Why 3 stars? I ordered the turkey pie. The flavours were excellent, although the parmesan mash was a bit skimpy and over processed (mash needs a bit of body to it). However, the main thing was the pie was essentially a soup--remove the pastry top and it was liquid underneath, with turkey floating in it. Once I had finished the pie, the bowl was still half full with liquid. Very odd indeed and simply should not be served from the kitchenMy wife ordered the deep fried camembert salad. Again, this was an over mixed leaf salad where one could not taste the constituent parts (beetroot, tomatoes, walnuts etc) as they had all been mixed in and tossed in an over tart balsamic glaze. Keep leaves separate from other elements, and let the subtle elements speak for themselves.We had to drive for 40 mins, so likely wont come back as not special enough. However, if we lived nearer we def would. Suspect the above dishes were slight curveballs and I am being hard with the stars as a soup pie is unacceptable but I am sure the pub does excellent grub elsewhere and service was impeccable.

The food, atmosphere and service in this establishment is second to none. I had the burger which was cooked to perfection and my wife had the fish. Both dishes were 10/10. There was live music on which was a bonus.
We went for dinner last night. Delicious food and very pleasant, efficient service. I had a seafood chowder and the mussels were obviously very fresh, plump and tasty. Good value too.

Flagged average not because of the food but due to the fact that we ended up stuck on a 2 seater table tight to the entrance door at the busy bar end. Appreciate it was Christmas but the space became very cramped as people queued for the bar. Not the best experience having peoples backsides and coats thrust in your face as you try to eat. Would definitely suggest anyone decline that table if allocated.

Food always delicious! Great variety, catering to meat dishes, vegan and vegetarian. Lovely and warm atmosphere, especially in the marquee, with the lights and heaters. Staff exceptional. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely superb food, if the Korean spiced cauliflower is on the menu you must try it! Did not stay so I cannot comment on the rooms but the pub has a great atmosphere and the service is great but not intrusive. Not the cheapest but very much worth what you pay.
