Overall Ratings & Reviews Ring O' Bells

Great little spot walkable to Kingsbridge. Staff were excellent, the breakfast included was terrific and it felt like a home. The room is small and basic but it’s all a traveler needs.

Convinient location. Very good breakfasts, Evening meals.

Close to the bus stop Breakfast too late, offered sandwiches in place of breakfast

This place should not be on the Expedia register. The access to the rooms was via a metal fire escape to the rear. The stairs were covered in moss and slippery. The top of the stairs and walkway had a 1.5" Foam covering on, which was a trip hazard at the top of the stairs. The room had several areas of damage. The heating didn't work properly as the curtains draped over the radiator sending the heat straight out of the window. The shower had black mould on the ceiling. The bathroom door would stay shut, and the grout lines in the shower were filthy. The two-piece bed was uneven from one side to the other, and one side sloped down at the edge. The food selection was standard pub-food, with no catering for allergies. All in all, I would allow my worst enemy to stay at this place.

Room was small but very tidy, it had everything we needed. Bed wasn’t the comfiest but ok for one night. The view was amazing, high over other houses the countryside stretched for miles. Don’t book if you don’t like heights. Unfortunately there was something making a noise all night (heating, A/C, water) I don’t know what but it sounded like a heart beat all night long and kept me awake. Check in was super easy, the bar/ restaurant was clean and friendly. The breakfast was really good the staff very friendly and helpful.

Convenient for bus route to Salcombe where I was walking the coastal path. Room was spacious and comfortable.

On bus route to Salcombe and coastal path. Very nice roomy accommodation at rear of pub.

Decent room, great view and great breakfast

The propert is a pub. We arrived shortly after Wednesday midday to check-in. A lady behind the bar checked us in and took us to our room. We had to climb a steel "fire escape" open to the elements to reach our room. The room had a large king-sized bed, plus a double bunk-bed & ensuite shower/toilet. It was slightly musty, dank and cold. There was no apparent heating and my wife and had a very cold, sleepless night. Breakfast was fine.

Didnt know rooms were up high from outside steps. Bathroom was very danp and towel warmer not working Food was very good and staff were pleasant

We had such a lovely stay at the Ring O’Bells. It was easy to find and parking was good. Our room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was excellent. The staff were lovely and very helpful. A great spot to explore Salcombe from.

We have stayed here several times and the staff are service are always excellent. However, this time the heart seems to have gone out of the place. Our room was not serviced over the course of our four day trip. Bathroom had signs of mould and the bar often seemed to close early.

Fire escape ladder access not ideal for octogenarians … otherwise v. friendly& excellent service to well fitted double room /ensuite awaiting air-con due elevation

If you are looking for a quiet retreat, don't come here. However, once the pub is closed it goes very quiet. The location is very convenient to explore the town and the surrounding area. If the weather is nice and the sky is clear, you get a wonderful view from the room. One note of caution: you will have to walk up a couple of flights of metal stairs to get to your room. It can get slippery when it rains. If stairs are an issue for you, then this is not suitable. The room is as advertised, comfy and welcoming. Nice and clean, it has no luxury but standard amenities like a kettle and a TV. Bathroom was clean, not very big but with a comfortable shower box. Breakfast was good and generous, the waiter went out of his way to address our special requests and did not expect to be compensated for it. Other than the location and the views from the room on a beautiful morning, the staff are the real selling point. They are friendly, attentive, courteous and welcoming.

Made very welcome by the owner, service very friendly and helpful. Ideal for our stay in Devon

Motel type room behind pub with views, friendly staff, good food. Great for short stay for us to access with local bus routes for coastal walks and local area.

Served its purpose

We received a warm welcome from Ryan at his 'Community' pub, Ring o'Bells, West Alvington on the outskirts of Kingsbridge. The bedrooms are beside the carpark; access to them is via an open sturdy metal stairway which may be a challenge in adverse weather. The beds with en-suite facilities were clean and well-presented; we all enjoyed a good night's sleep without any distractions. The highlight of the Ring o'Bells is the spectacular Devon countryside overlooking the outskirts of Kingsbridge while accompanied by one of Ryan's generous hearty English breakfasts.

Everyone was most helpful. No dislikes.

Really liked it here. Lovely view of the valley and town of Kingsbridge. Room was clean. Breakfast was good and a good selection to choose from. Had an evening meal too, which was also very good.
