We were walking the Dartmoor Way and stayed in The Ring of Bells on a Saturday night and were warmly welcomed by Fran the landlady and her dog Moss. I must say that this Inn is fantastic for a place to stay and also to eat. Chagford as a town is really charming, you can guess by my enthusiasm that... More

Nothing much wrong with this place, went in on a busy Saturday night - staff were all very helpful and food was lovely. Only one criticism and that's the black Labrador "lovely though he is" being allowed to wander unattended. Our dog is fine when left alone but it wouldn't leave her alone and I heard another customer asking to... More

Thank you very much for your review. We take pride in being as friendly and welcoming as possible, and i'm glad you enjoyed your food. 'Mr Moss' beloved black lab that he is, can at times be a bit naughty. We do usually keep him in the flat during food service, or if he is being a pain. As it... More

We love the Ring o Bells and have been staying here a few times a year for several years. We stopped going for a while when the previous manager was in situ as he was just not right for the place, but noticed that there was a new owner (who self manages) and decided to try again. The new owner... More

We popped in one lunchtime just to check the place out on our way through Dartmoor but had such a lovely time and great chats with the locals and bar staff that we decided to come back to Chagford the following day just to stay at the Ring of Bells! Fascinating history and atmosphere and lovely room with a great... More

Went in on a wet and dreary day and were lucky enough to get the table by the log fire. The food was good and the service was very attentive without being a nuisance. Good value for money and they supply a full range from light snacks to full 3 courses. Very well presented and the food tasted as good... More

We can strongly recommend this inn. The slight downsides (only very slight) were a well used bar area which takes it's toll on the decor and the light meals at £6.50 are exactly that, light. However the landlady and staff were wonderful and couldn't be more helpful and friendly and our room whilst small was lovely, immaculately clean and cosy... More

My wife & I visited this pub on a the off chance but were so glad we did. The pub itself is "Olde Worlde" but clean, bright and friendly. The food was excellent, very reasonably priced and the service was exemplary. Brilliant!
