Very friendly owner and staff. Varied menu, food was served quickly. Tasty and good portions. Good choice of beer and drinks. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. The pub is dog friendly. The owner came over and fed our dog some meat, which she loved.

Had a very pleasant night's sleep here after a long day's surfing. Robert was gutted I couldn't have the cooked breakfast, as I had thoroughly enjoyed the chilli con carne, but i had to leave again before dawn for the waves. Nice old school landlord who made me feel at home. Room had everything I needed plus a decent hot shower, and decent coverage for the WiFi. I'd stay here again. Thank you ?Nearby activities: Within a short drive of the local surf breaks

Always a fantastic carvery on a Sunday, 3 meats, tons of veg and lashings of gravy. Robert and his team will look after you.

Unlike many of the other pubs in the area this is a genuine place where the customer comes first not second or third . It is also significantly more affordable than every other pub in the area and the Sunday roast is superb. No pretence, no loathing of tourists and good “old school” governor and service.

Was staying at Golden Coast Holiday Park, this pub is just up the road. Visited Wednesday 27th September 2023, myself, husband and Poppy (our dog). Very welcoming and friendly. I had the gammon and husband the liver. Was beautiful, well presented and most importantly good quality fayre. Extremely generous portion sizes. Another family that were staying at the park also visited shortly after we did and they thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. Heard the lady who was working that she was going to Blackpool shortly. I highly recommend Yorkshire Fisheries for a chippy tea. We live 40 minutes away and are regulars. The best chippy, eat in or takeaway in Blackpool. 5 Stars.

We were meant to have a family reunion carvery here as we'd been told that dogs were very welcome. Unfortunately when my grand daughter saw the fish on the bar crammed into such a tiny tank she was so upset we had to leave without even having a drink. It seems strange that a pub that welcomes dogs would treat their goldfish this way.
Don't be put off by how this place looks from.the outside!! We've been walking the SW coastal path and this hotel was out of town so if you're carrying everything it would add an extra few miles to your journey...we took transport up to the hotel....but this is Devon and the buses seem to have their own timetable!!The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and made us very welcome. The room was basic but very clean and the bed was comfortable with a small ensuite with a shower.The bar food was delicious and plentiful in the evening and we had a good cooked breakfast to set us on our onward way in the morning.

A superb find! Dog friendly (very very dog friendly!!), with great food and portions at realistic prices. Friendly and quick service and background music that's amazing ?. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
