What a great find! We stayed in nearby cofton and went in search of a good pub dinner and stumbled upon this one. Very accommodating to our party who arrived for dinner before the kitchen had opened. Antonio the chef has a great personality and is clearly passionate about his food. He even threw in a pizza making lesson for... More

I booked a Sunday lunch here to day for my elderly parents who had just returned from along trip to a funeral. Suffice to say they wished they were still there. The Sunday roast was truly awful. Burnt carrots, under-cooked cabbage, beef that looked as thought it may have been bought from a car boot sale (and overcooked). A truly... More

we chose the stowey based on its reviews both on here and laterooms, and we were very impressed, the food was excellent and the room was large and airy and the bed was like floating on a cloud, brilliant location/base for exploring Devon, will be back for more later in the year
