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.

We enjoyed it very good lunch in this authentic village pub that provided not just well prepared food but plenty of choice. The service was really good and the environment was clean and comfortable. I have no doubt that I will visit again when in the area.

Lovely hidden pub. Very quiet and lovely views. The food was fantastic, good solid pub food. Not over priced. The children’s meals were great too, my son loved his ham, (especially the) egg and chips. Would visit again.

Ate dinner during my stay here and had a great meal with generous portion sizes and tasty ingredients. The price represented good value for money and I was provided with both friendly and fast service. Unfortunately I didn't have room for dessert, but the enticing options on the table next door made me wish I had!

We stayed whilst walking the Two Moors. Arriving early evening after a long days walking we sat in the lovely garden in the sunshine unwinding with a well deserved drink. Nice welcoming chats at the bar, dinner was delicious, our room was spotless and very comfortable, breakfast the next morning great too as were our packed lunches we were sent off with. All in all a perfect nights stay. Thank you!

Wanted a quick night away and the Tradesman arms was a great choice. Reasonably priced bed and breakfast. Room not huge but had everything you need and was clean. Good view from the window, am sure will be spectacular on a sunny day. Ate there in the evening too. A lovely welcome from Kev and Suzie. Food and drinks all reasonable price, food good pub grub and delicious. Pub was quiet but a good atmosphere was generated with a few locals at the bar. A good location to explore Dartmoor from.

Our third and fourth visits last week to this lovely authentic local. This is a proper pub, full of locals, visitors and their dogs. Good wholesome grub, tasty beer and friendly service. The burger was superb. Will be back next year. Thanks Kevin & Suzanne.

Stayed before. Again, an excellent visit. Superb food, drinks. Very friendly and welcoming. Our dog loved it and was very upset to leave (as we were)! Can’t wait to return. Will always be our first choice. Awesome. Thanks Kevin, Suzi and Saffie xx (K, J and Hagrid 😃)

Great little place for an overnight stay. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, competitively priced, reasonable food menu, good breakfast and fabulous cider “Hunts Wobbler” which is a good still flat farmhouse cider.

We called in after a walk for a drink but then decided to have some food but we were told that the kitchen was closing soon but the lady behind the bar was very helpful and told us not to worry about rushing to decide what we want We ordered a cheese plowman's and a sandwich and sat back in the garden to enjoy the lovely views Our food arrived and wow the plowman's was the biggest I've ever seen The sandwich I had was lovely but secretly I want the plowman's maybe next time As for the prices for the size of the plates of food we received and the friendly staff I feel the whole lunch was excellent value for money I would highly recommend the trademans arms for great beer and food Enjoy 😁
