On Monday my mother and I wanted to take out an elderly friend for a pub meal. Not wanting to travel very far the Spyway was recommended. the landlord greeted us at the door, ushered us in out of the torrential rain and took us into a very snug bar. 2 hours later we left full of the most delicious...

What a wonderful find this pub was. Whilst travelling to Lyme Regis just before the Easter Weekend, we wanted to stop for lunch and spotted a sign on the A35 which just said "Pub" and so we trusted to fate and turned off and followed the sign. How thankful we were that we found this place. We had a cooked... More

If you can imagine, most people's vision, of the perfect British Pub.The only pub in a small country village. No juke boxes or any form of machines. Small rooms with original decor. and an excellent choice of beers and ciders. Great customer service led by a landlord who's wit and warm welcome is second to none. Link this to great... More

On a long trudge to Cornwall we started to feel very hungry. I saw a small sign for this inn on the motorway and decided to go down a B road and explore it. We discovered a charming little inn where you can eat and stay over night. Our very friendly host told us we could sit in the garden... More

I've been visiting this pub for thirty years and it's gone through a few changes in that time but it is now without question better than it's ever been. The setting is, and has always been, quite superb. The current landlord is as friendly and helpful as any I've ever met. The staff were exemplary. We've had lunch here a... More

We were welcomed warmly before even entering the inn, and that thoughtfulness lasted throughout the weekend. The room was cosy and nicely firnished/decorated, the food was excellent and reasonably priced, and we all (6 adults) thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Can't recommend The Spyway highly enough - try it yourself, you won't be disappointed.

We recently spent a weekend at the Spyway Inn, and cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff are charming, and the room we stayed in exceeded our expectations in all respects. We could not fault the food either (at supper or at breakfast). If you are looking for a traditional English pub, with food, service, and rooms to rival the... More

We visited the Spyway Inn for lunch as a birthday present. The establishment was very welcoming and friendly. The menu was good we had sufficient choice to avoid any duplication. The Dorset smokies rarebit were fantastic. Catch of the day was excellent. we will be returning to the Spyway inn more frequently. all in all very good.

This is my first Tripadvisor review and being written as I sit at Spyway, and for very good reason. We arrived by bike, one with a recent puncture, to have lunch. My requests were met with willingness including having special cornbread with lovely pate, and then getting us a bike pump after having to make several calls to track one... More

Me and some friends went to the Spyway, and were pleasantly surprised. The waitresses were friendly and unobtrusive, and our food was brought out extremely quickly, considering there was 9 of us, and the place seemed to be packed! brilliant atmosphere, would definately recomment!
