My husband and I stayed at The Compasses in March 2008 and liked it a lot. We returned for 2 nights at the end of the first week in November and everything was as we remembered it. Very warm welcome and immediate recognition from the owner and his staff; warming fire; beer from a local microbrewery - my husband seemed... more

For a pub that has received as many awards as it has, we found the Compasses very average. There is nothing we found particularly wrong, but equally nothing that would leave us wanting to return. It's a pretty, tiny, quaint old place set in a quiet and remote area. Access from the A30 direction is straightforward enough but along a... more

Although I did not actually stay at the hotel myself my parents and my sister have just left (literally just left a day earlier than they were due to their experience was so dreadful!) and the treatment they received at the hands of disinterested management was quite frankly disgusting.

Had a fantastic stay at the Compasses Inn for one night over the recent bank holiday. The landlord met us on arrival and showed us to the lovely room. We then had a fantastic meal in the inn and the following morning went on a walk suggested by the landlord - thoroughly enjoyable and definitely recommended! more
