New Inn, Coleford

Lovely 13th century thatched free house with old beams and flagstones located near Credition and 12 miles from Exeter in the picturesque hamlet of Coleford. A truly hidden rural gem with four well kept cask ales, (Otter Ale, Jail Ale and two local changing) and up to 8 real ciders/perries (BiB and keg). There are also about 20 house wines available by the glass. An Amazon blue pub parrot called "Captain" who has greeted guests for over 40 years, resides in a cage near the bar!

Delicious, homemade and freshly prepared food with an emphasis on local suppliers is available for lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Served in the Hayloft restaurant, or in the Bridge Bar, the oldest part of the Inn, with a cosy fire in winter. In summer, enjoy al fresco dining in the secluded garden or under the large willow tree next to the babbling brook.

4 star AA rated bed and breakfast accommodation is offered in 7 stylish ensuite rooms, 2 of which are on the ground floor.
