We were actually stopping at the Northcote Manor opposite but we called in here on our arrival as we were early. Large car park but looked nothing special beside the main road. Inside a well worn country pub style with a welcoming log fire (needed this summer). A vey friendly welcome and we had a Devonshire tea where the scones... More

Ample parking in a stunning setting frames a rustic rural gem. Clean rooms with fresh clean linen ended a perfect day spent visiting friends. Breakfast was first class and cooked to order .stayed for two nights this time but will be staying longer on our next visit.

On first glance this pub/hotel looks tired. This is probably due to the fact that it has a main road running right by it which inevitably affects the exterior decor. However once inside, the pub is welcoming and friendly and the cottages are very clean and tidy with good basic amenities. Breakfast was very good and offered at a time... More

We were staying at the hotel across the road, and fancied a proper honest dinner with draught beer, not bottles from the fridge. We popped in early at 6pm and were received very kindly by the owners who made us feel welcome, and joined us in on their local bar chat. we had not visited before but they made us... More

This is a great pub in a lovely location run by two fantastic characters - Andy and Dee. The atmosphere is great, relaxed and friendly and the food is always good. My husband loves Indian food and Dee does a great curry. We were late arriving on our most recent visit, after 9.00 pm, but were still served an excellent,... More

I think there should be a 'good' rating as this was more than average, but less than very good. Please bring in a 'good' button! Anyway, on with the review. Well. What a strange place! We came across it by accident whilst on holiday in Devon. I think we were looking for somewhere else, or something, but anyway, the pub... More

I have visited The Postmouth Arms on many occasions during my overseas holiday trips to the Devon in the West Country (my Favourite place on earth) with my Family and we always enjoy the good honest tasty food.

The meal was superb and good... More
