Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch! Great atmosphere, lovely staff, food was great quality and generous portions. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food, great service by Emma, lovely warm pub, dog friendly and amazing vibe Cannot recommend enough!

What a wonderful find this was, we were away for the weekend, staying in Dartmouth and as it was a very wet weekend, we decided to drive around the beautiful Devon countryside. Stumbled across this beautiful bar/restaurant and we were not disappointed at all, the...staff, the food, the atmosphere, all just perfect, best meal throughout the whole weekend.More

We stayed for a week in the Tawny cottage. From pre arrival we had great communication and help with our booking. On arrival the cottage is gorgeous three large bedrooms with en-suites. A cosy living area with kitchen and dining. Everywhere was designed to give...a luxurious feel ! The hot tub was amazing lights speakers and more jets and water features than ever had at previous lodges and cottages. It had everything you could need for a comfortable stay and views opened out to see surrounding fields. We had takeaway pizza and Greek food from the street food vans and a drink in the pub. We also had two amazing meals the Mussel Burger, Chicken Supreme and Thai green curry were amazing ! Service was great and all the staff were friendly & helpful. It had a lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. It’s such a relaxed area and full of charm. From the cottage there are fantastic cliff & costal walks. We walked to Bovisand beach and along to Jenny Cliff then another day we walked from Bovisand to Haybrook bay and back. We also did Wembury point to Wembury beach then back to Haybrook. Great walks and views on the doorstop. On a rainy day we visited Plymouth and visited Barbican area for a meal. Then once the rain cleared a circular walk to the Hoe and lido and back to the harbour. Would recommend a trip to Dartmouth great views, lovely shops and great atmosphere at the food festival. We used the park ride and also walked to the castle. First time to South Devon and it had everything for a fantastic holiday would definitely recommend. Thankyou Lou and all at Mussel Inn. 😀More

Beautiful location, friendly staff, good size portions. Tasty food. The chairs could do with an upgrade. Seats were all very stained. Not very pleasant to sit on.

Lovely pub/restaurant with very friendly staff. Ate here whilst staying at The Mussel Cottages(fantastic self catering cottage and they offered to bring food down to the cottages if we wanted!) and couldn’t fault food or service. “Mussel” burger lovely and catch of the day was...very tasty John Dory, not tried it before but was delicious. Big bowl of mussels in classic sauce was delicious just needed a bit more bread to mop up the sauce 🙂! Good selection of drinks, plenty of gin choices and also very nice cocktails. Food not served Mon/Tues but there is takeaway food provided in the car park which you can eat in the pub! Cottages were perfect, everything we could ask for, very home from home, even a slow cooker if you want to make a dinner to come back to after a day out. Only thing I found tricky was no simple instructions for hob and oven, but a quick google worked🫣 Very comfortable huge beds and 3 en-suite rooms, ideal for families or friends. Smart tv in every room an big comfy sofa for evenings, and of course WiFi! We had hot tub which was used, even in the rain! Big enough for 6 too. Easy to get to Plymouth and surrounding area and within easy reach of coastal walks. Definitely a place I would come back to! Thank you for the warm welcome and wonderful cottage.More

Came here with my wife today on recommendation of our neighbours and it was amazing! Beautiful place and really really peaceful. We wanted a nice meal and a bit of a chill out after the kids have been off school for 6 weeks. Inside is...stunning, and it’s really clean and laid out well. You don’t feel like you’re on top of other people. Toilets were immaculate when I nipped in. The staff were really attentive and friendly, especially the lady behind the bar and the chap who brought our food out to us (I assumed he was the manager). We both loved our meals and then went to sit outside to enjoy our pints overlooking the fields in the peace and quiet. It’s nice to know there’s a well looked after playground if we returned with our kids. We’ll definitely be returning here, thank you.More

Where can I begin.. we chose to have our wedding at the mussel inn & cottages and the service we received from Jamie, Katie & all the staff was second to none. Nothing was too much! The food for the Friday evening was incredible, a...party of 36 all served at the same time & no mistakes what so ever!! Booking so last minute you allowed us to have exclusive use of the beautiful venue and surrounding. With the park to keep all the children entertained too! Cannot recommend enough - the cottages are stunning too - thank you Louisa.. will be back soon ❤️ Thank you for making our wedding so special.. xMore

We had an excellent Sunday lunch at The Mussel Inn in Down Thomas. The food was beautifully cooked and served. The waitress was very friendly and helpful presenting the menu and the Manageress ensured we had a lovely table in the restaurant. The food was...reasonably priced too! We will definitely be returning.More

Had a fabulous family dinner, the mussels I ordered were amazing as was my husbands burger. The kids enjoyed their free burgers and had desert too. The lady that served us and made my amazing cocktail was brilliant, we are so lucky to have such...a lovely place to eat and drink only 10 minutes from where we live.More

We ate dinner again at the mussel in tonight, it is so excellent. Great welcome, great draft jail ale, food is amongst the best we have had. Staff very welcoming and friendly, can’t recommend it enough. We had monk fish Thai tai curry, mussel burger,1...kg mussels and fish and chips, loved it all for my wife’s birthday, well done all, would not hesitate to come back next time , lovely evening.More

Table for 7 booked at 16.45, ordered within 10 minutes, food served 17.45. Roast dinner expensive and worst I have had.
