The pub is in a fabulous position, the room we had was good and the staff friendly and helpful. Where it fell down was at dinner. I was there with my wife for our 56th wedding anniversary and was hoping for an excellent experience but the service was poor, I had to go up to the bar and ask for a menu after waiting for some time. Again I had to ask for someone to take our order, my second drink was waiting on the bar and I had to retrieve it myself. When food eventually arrived (rack of ribs) there was no finger bowl no bowl for bones. My wife mentioned this to the waitress and was told rather bluntly "you could have asked when I gave it to you" I thought this should not be necessary and the waitress was quite stroppy. The food was ok, ribs good, chips mediocre and salad undressed. Would stay there again but would eat up the road at the Maltster's.

What a charming and delightful place. Lovely staff, lovely setting.... Great breakfast..... Would recommend staying here if you are in the area.... Thank you for making us feel so welcome...👍👍

This is what a pub should be.. Great staff, food was excellent.. Lovely setting by the river,our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable... This pub is in the middle of nowhere but it seemed to be busy which is good sign of a great pub10/10

The property is run by a family and they made our stay feel that we were part of their family

Would recommend and would use again if in the area.

The room was very clean with everything you needed for the bathroom, loads of tea and coffee, clean kettle, lots of sockets for charging gadgets. Breakfast was very good, lovely and hot. Nice atmosphere in the bar and other eating places. Staff very friendly, Paul and Gayle are excellent hosts made me very welcome. Would stay again.

Nice welcome, great people and a wonderful location, food wasn't bad either.

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.
