A Grade II listed 16th-century free house situated in a small village near Totnes has bags of 'old-worlde' charm. The friendly pub has two real fires and serves good quality food in its recently refurbished restaurant. Jail Ale is a regular beer; often alongside another Dartmoor beer and one guest beer. Bulkamore's prize winning cider is produced just 1 mile from the pub. The pub has a beer garden and large car park. They make fresh Pizzas in a real wood burning, outdoor pizza oven most Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays, weather permitting. They can be eaten in or taken away.

16th century Church House, now a public house with an opened-up interior. Up to the early 1970s there was a separate public bar on the left - take a look at the entrance vestibule with its 1930s looking panels that has doors on the left originally to the public bar and on the right to the lounge bar. Locals say the lapped wood counter only dates from the early/mid 1970s but it could be older. The bar back could also date from the 1970s. On the right is a large old stone fireplace with a log burner. Panelling in the porch and on the walls near the vestibule could be 1930s work. The public bar/left side has an old stone fireplace and also another old exterior door. On the far right a partition of ancient wood is largely a number of standing timbers with a wide but old arch to a small area with Formica panels on the dado. To the far left a former stable was converted to a dining room in the late 1970s. Not enough old fittings.
