This was our fourth visit and it was as perfect as ever. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated and had the most comfortable four-poster bed you could wish for. The bath towels are exceptionally large and soft. There are many walks and places of interest to visit from here. The hosts, Simon and Lyn, are so welcoming and pay great attention to every detail to ensure a perfect stay. The staff are excellent too. John, Graham and Ellie who served us in the restaurant, were hard-working as well as having great personalities. Vicky and Sue kept everywhere spotlessly clean. The chefs, Geoff and Dean, are outstanding and so creative. I enjoyed a delicious salmon pave with gnocchi and smoked mussels so much, which is quite an achievement as I dislike gnocchi and mussels, that I had it again another evening! 😀 We are always happy to tip the well-deserving staff here but are very glad that an automatic service charge is not applied as it sadly is in many establishments now. We look forward to our fifth visit.

Felt welcome the moment we walked into this very memorable small hotel in the centre of the village. We enjoyed great food in the atmosphere of the bar but if you wanted more salubrious surroundings there is a restaurant or snug. We chose not to have a four poster bedroom and were really comfortable in ‘Bovey’. We walked in the nearby National Park and visited Castle Drogo. Easy to get to by road or rail. Very good value for money.

We booked a Sunday lunch here and were delighted to find we had been allocated a cosy table by the open fire. We were hungry and looking forward to a roast beef lunch. The lunch looked lovely when it arrived but unfortunately it was quite cold. We were surprised as it was only 12:30pm so not even towards the end of lunchtime. We informed the staff who quickly apologised and took our meals away. 10 minutes later the same plates of food were returned to us after being obliterated in either a microwave or very hot oven. The gravy was congealed and the Yorkshire's were ruined & extremely crispy. We ate the meals as we were hungry but we advised the staff on being asked if everything was alright after we had finished. Again they apologised and reassured us that our comments would be passed back. On leaving we were charged full price for everything with nothing being mentioned at all as if everything had been fine. Sadly we will not be returning.

What a gem.
This was an unscheduled stop on route to Cornwall due to bad weather. What a pleasant surprise, a beautiful old Inn a short distance from the A30. The staff were friendly and helpful, great service a lovely evening meal and an excellent breakfast. We will definitely be returning with hopefully better weather.

Interesting hotel with lots of history
A warm welcome on arrival. Very fruendly landlord. Excellent food in the restaurant and a good breakfast cooked to order.
Our room was spacious and clean.
The only negative from me was that the mattress in the Bovey room was thin and I could feel the springs, so not the best nights sleep.
