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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We went as a group of 6 friends to celebrate all our birthdays throughout the year. Everything about the evening was perfect, the food, ambience, surroundings, service and staff, all 5 star. The finishing touch of superb service was the presentation of our beautifully arranged...joint birthday candles (photo attached!). A really lovely evening, thank you Tytherleigh Arms.More

We wanted to support local business and look forward to a special meal, allegedly Michelin starred. Whilst our waitress was so warm and welcoming, the same could not be said for the food and for £30 for pork loin that was not accompanied by any...hearty veg dish, it is a shame they are missing the mark of what could be a very proud producer of local delicacies. As one table of only 5 during the evening, we could tell that the lacking atmosphere was not by chance. We would love to go again incase it was a one off but the price and overall experience leave us looking elsewhere.More

Highly recommend the Tytherleigh Arms for fabulous food as well as an excellent b&b. Their chicken liver parfait is the most delicious starter I’ve ever had - and that is no exaggeration! Every mouthful was a gastronomic treat of flavours and textures. The accommodation was...comfortable with lots of luxury treats like homemade chocolate chip cookies. The breakfast was delicious and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful. If you’re down in Devon, you really need to come here… but don’t forget to book as it gets really busy.More

This restaurant is really above the rest. The food ( from the complimentary amuse bouche to the wonderful panna cotta dessert) is sublime. The staff are attentive but not intrusive and the ambience is relaxed and pleasant. I cannot recommend this place enough.

The Tytherleigh Arms is a treasure . The rooms are clean bright and comfortable. Well appointed and fairly spacious. Tea and coffee with home made biscuits ( a promise of what to expect for dinner) is available in each room There is a patio area...with garden chairs outside each room. Booking for dinner is advisable as the restaurant can get busy, not surprisingly as the food is excellent and there are interesting choices on the menu. I have eaten a fair few pates and chicken liver parfaits, but the offering from the Tytherleigh was in a class of its’ own. Served with a mini home made loaf, with a caramel topping , mini mushrooms and tiny pickled cauliflower florets, it was a thing of beauty and deliciousness. Though I really like meat, I have chosen a vegetarian option on the last two visits. These did not disappoint, they were innovative and delicious. The desserts are delicious with lovely choices. Breakfast is freshly cooked , and again excellent quality. A far cry from the ubiquitous breakfast buffets, each breakfast is freshly cooked , and not doing battle with the shared toaster, Your toast accompanies your breakfast so it arrives hot with your food. There may not be a stack of croissants or buns, but who needs these when excellent alternatives are on offer It is an oasis in a desert of fast food restaurants and places that serve meals covered in gloopy gravy.More

We booked a nights accommodation at the Tytherleigh Arms. The room (which is in a separate block a few steps away from the restaurant/bar), was spacious, clean and contained everything we would need. It was nice to sit outside of the room on a private...patio and enjoy the sun. We had booked dinner which was absolutely fantastic all food was fresh and beautifully presented as was the breakfast. Must mention the owner and staff who were friendly and knowledgeable.More

Inventive and interesting menu. This is our first time in the area and I booked meals based on Trip Advisor reviews and on this occasion I made the right decision. We have had some very sketchy service on our tour of Devon and Cornwall. This...lovely restaurant did not disappoint in any way. Our appetites were whetted with some lovely amuse bouches then we had starters of pork belly, parfait and hake all very well flavoured. Mains and puds were equally as delicious. Service with a smile- slick and professional. I recommend highly. Thanks for a lovely evening.More

Hi, Yes absolutely, we allow dogs in the main bar area (where we serve our full menu) and on the patio. I'm afraid we don't allow dogs in the dining room or accommodation.
