Great spot, so picturesque by the river. Room was very clean and pleasant. Staff lovely, very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. If looking for a break in a beautiful Devon pub, strongly recommend The Watermans Arms.

Incredibly gorgeous and cosy welcome - log fire burning! Lights twinkling. Friendly staff. Room was good for a family - but chilly but staff offered to turn up heating! Lovely pub and good food.

Staff very welcoming and friendly, on going into our family room deluxe I found a nightie hanging on the back of the bathroom door, Who ever supposedly cleaned that room obviously need’s a refresher course, the bathroom itself could do with a very good clean even a refurbishment, Breakfast was lovely good choice of food and again very attentive staff,

We have stayed in better superior rooms. There was also an undercover area directly outside our room and if that had been busy, the noise would have been unacceptable. Breakfast and location was amazing.

A somewhat quirky place with super helpful staff, great rooms (fabulous en suite) and an interesting menu. The food was absolutely first class - well presented and very tasty. It was just a one night stay for me after a few days' camping but I'll certainly look to return for a longer visit next time I'm in the area. Brekkie was pretty good as well.

Nice stay in a beautiful location but frlt accomodation needed a bit of TLC. Staff very nice but no one around when we arrived to check us in and we waited in the empty bar for 15 mins. Likewise coming down for breakfast and check out there was no one around. Rooms were clean but were very dated and areas felt like they needed a good clean. Our room was ok but smelt like someone had been smoking in it. Wifi was dreadful. It disconnected around 8pm so we couldnt use phone or watch TV. Didnt come back on. Wifi only worked in bar area. Food was really lovely though. Tea and coffee in room was nice. There were bathrobes but i wouldnt want to wear them.

Beautiful setting by the river, but everything else was terrible! Filthy dirty and untidy reception desk (photo available) ,sticky floors and surfaces throughout upstairs and down, Musty smelling bedroom with view from window of stacked rubbish, scaffolding structure? and generally a neglected outlook which was the theme throughout the premises inside and out - neglect and unclean. An alternative room was offered with views of the river, but again was musty smelling and we were told that if we chose that room it was above the front door of the bar below so potentially would be banging shut throughout the evening. Not ideal. I couldn’t access the internet or get a phone signal which apparently was available although I tried and it didn’t work at all, as was discussed with the person at the bar who was not at all helpful. The ‘Reception’ person booking us in, was very abrupt in fact stating she was too busy and was serving in the bar as they couldn’t afford a receptionist… We weren’t prepared to stay somewhere so dirty so walked away and had to locate another place to stay subsequently No refund, part or otherwise has been given and no apology was offered. It is nothing like what is advertised , we have stayed in many places but never experienced anywhere as awful as this place! I find it hard to believe all the positive feedback left….based on our experience.

Flaky paint generally tired ,an old English country pub very pretty from the outside in a scenic spot .Inside remnants of old drinking establishment smell of old beer and cigarette smoke with a general stickiness to most surfaces .staff were pleasant ,pizza was ok but stake was mostly fat . The bed had a spring poking out or it and the sofa bed had a small piece of foam for a mattress
