We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good little pub in the heart of a beautiful Dartmoor village

Good traditional pub accommodation, big room overlooking village square, clean and the bed comfortable, bathroom adequate. Menue looked like pubgrub, but when it was.delivered to the table, far exceeded any pubgrub I've had. Steak and kidney pudding one of the best, plenty of tender kidney, a rare thing these days. Will revisit.

Good short stopover

Fine for a short stopover. Old Pub in the Market Square. Some street noise late evening and some early deliveries at local businesses. Excellent breakfast served by friendly staff. Good evening crowd inPub

My mistake but still a lash up.

Briefly... I booked the Ring of Bells because its really local and we could have some beer and go upstairs. On the way (Sunday 17.00) we got a phone call saying the Ring of Bells closes at 18.00, where are you. On the threshold of the village, see you in a minute ... At the bar the nice young lady blurted out , " That'll be 120£ then" ! In front of the four or five finishing their pints. I didn't like that much, but we're shown up to a cold and tired room. I'm sure Mr M is going to renovate soon ! Bed was good. All was clean, but christ was it tired. What time would you like breakfast ? Nine o'clock, " Ok, I'll book the table in the Three Crowns, three doors up" Great thank you. Aye ? So breakfast was served of cheap sausage, tough ole bacon, a pot of beans of course, half a tomato and watery ole poached eggs. I think I saw canned fruit salad on the self serve table. I'm not a complainer normally and I've been trying to get Mr M's email for the last half hour. Knowing him a bit I'd have written to him direct, and I'm only a sailor boy up from Falmouth. Just a bit of quality would of been nice.…

An unexpected lunch stop

Lovely little pub on the High Street, clean friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The chef came out chatting to us and crazily enough knows wigan well! Lovely man! Very good quality home cooked food, highly recommended.

Lovely and friendly pub!

We stumbled upon here by chance after going for a long hike in the area. The pub was exactly what the doctor ordered on a cold, windy afternoon! Very warm and friendly welcome and excellent pub grub at really reasonable prices. The homemade garlic bread was especially good! We’d like to have stayed longer and sampled a couple more of the local ales but sadly had to drive back to our accommodation. We’ll definitely return when next in the area. The perfect friendly country pub!

Let down and left out of pocket

We booked a night here with our autistic son and elderly mother in law. Paid with Booking.com in good faith. However, hotel then cancelled booking. Supposedly double booked but more likely got a longer booking. Why not tell us sooner otherwise? So we must wait for our refund, seven to twelve days.

Unassuming from the outside but a great place

Friendly staff from the moment I arrived until I checked out the next day. The lady taking breakfast orders was amazing. A spacious, comfortable room and bed and great breakfast. Unfortunately I didn't notice the garden out the back and had dinner elsewhere but wish I'd eaten here. Wifi was a bit ropey but perhaps we can blame BT for that (it wasn't great even by the router) but in fairness it was just about passable.

Great find!

Warm welcome from people who take pride in their job! The food was wholesome and large portions. Plenty of good humour too - thanks to Caz for supporting my husbands healthy eating regime! 😂 Will go back for another visit for sure. Great place to stay for walkers!

Best service

We were only staying for one night, had a dog and one of us is gluten free. However the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Dogs are quite at ease in the pub and chef catered for the gluten free with dinner and breakfast.

Very enjoyable stay.

Visited from another part of Tier 2 just after Christmas as a present. No dedicated parking but ample parking around the village or in the public car park. Proper old pub with a long history. Covid restrictions observed. Now if you were looking for things to complain about you could find them. Most of this would be due to Covid issues and/or government decisions. (Mind you it was the loudest shower I have ever been in)! Room lovely and warm. Staff very friendly and conversational, especially Kaz who did all the cooking during our stay. The menu was limited but the food was excellent good pub food. The resident dog, Willow, was well behaved if sadly a little unwell. Overall, a very enjoyable stay and would happily visit again.
