    good size car park

    It was just a commendable fit for a day tour in Totnes with good price value. The car park was a decent size and made arrival hassle-free. Make sure to check the menu carefully before eating because the food can be a bit underwhelming.

    cozy bar
    delicious fish pie

    The riverside location was stunning, and the cozy bar had a warm vibe. I loved the delicious fish pie— one of the best meals I've ever had! The room was huge and spotlessly clean, with a comfy bed and great views.

    tasty breakfast
    cozy terrace
    lively atmosphere

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the delicious cooked-to-order breakfast and the cozy terrace that looked over the river. There's a great garden area to relax in with comfy chairs under the sun. Although the pub was a bit lively at night, it didn't take away from the overall charm of the place! 😊
