“Simple traditional, dog friendly pub with good tasty home cooked menu. We had a lovely evening with some fellow campers. We heard that the landlady is running it alone, with occasional help, after her husband passed away, so check first to see when it's open because it's not every day. Dogs welcome, barkers will be admonished with a cuddle, and a warm welcome from little Bentley too!”

“Great food selection and drink with a good selection of alcohol free. Friendly atmosphere , very welcoming.”

“Lovely welcoming little country pub, serving just the kind of pub meals you'd expect and enjoy. The absolute surprise for us was the extensive vegetarian and vegan menu, meaning we had a choice from starter to dessert. A little dog lives there, so his dog friends are welcome too.”

“Pleasant staff, good variety on the menus including a separate vegetarian/vegan board. Close to the Exe Valley campground. Set in the countryside with walks around Exmoor. A good randg of drinks.”

“We were staying just up the road so decided to have dinner here on our first evening. It opens at 6pm (closed Wednesdays) and has an extensive menu, all home-cooked by the landlady. They have a lot of vegan and vegetarian options if that's your bag. My husband and I had the fillet steak and sea bream, and my gosh it was good. Big portions, and it was all cooked to perfection. We consider ourselves "foodies" (terrible expression) and we're really impressed how she got all this excellent food out to us and other diners, at the same time as as serving at the bar and waitressing. We couldn't fault it. The salt and pepper squid was the best we ever had. We returned the second night and it was just as good! The landlord is a lovely chap too, but is quite poorly and they are trying to run their business as well as trying to deal with his illness (not an easy task). They may not be open every day because of this, so I'd recommend phoning to check they're open if you'd like to go there (I think they only take bookings if you want food). I hope future guests will be more understanding and patient than the previous Google reviewer... the struggles people are going through aren't always obvious.”

“Nice country pub. Dog friendly but only a small bar area so you need to book if you want to eat and take your dog with you. Good menu choices with a range of vegetarian AND vegan dishes as well as meat and fish. Prices are reasonable. NB closed ALL day on Wednesday.”
