Situated on the A3122 between Totnes and Dartmouth, this large roadhouse style pub is set back from the road on a bend. The interior is furnished traditionally and there is a lovely open fire, wood beams and half panelled walls. Close to the bar are two massive granite pillars running up through the room, which are thought to be ancient agricultural rollers. A terrace and beer garden has lovely views over the gentle Devon hills. The garden includes a children's play area. They open slightly longer hours in school holidays.

Breakfast served Fridays 9-11am
