Only a five-minute drive from Totnes, the pub is nestled in the rolling hills located in the village of Littlehempston. It dates back many centuries and is recorded as being the Church House in 1830, subsequently the Bolton Arms, and finally changing its name to the Tally Ho in 1957.
It was South Devon’s first community pub opening for business in 2014 having been closed for over three years. The freehold was acquired by the current licensees Kelly and Mike Joiner in September 2023, and they continue to deliver superb real ales, excellent home-cooked food using local produce and boast an impressive wine list.
The interior is very 'olde worlde' with black timber beams, columns, wood panelling, thick stone walls and three open fireplaces. At the rear of the premises is an enclosed beer garden, that leads to the pub's own car park.
The Tally Ho has won many awards over recent years – it’s been in the Good Beer Guide since 2016, has been runner-up in the Pub of the Year, was 2019 Rural Pub of the Year, and won South Devon Pub of the Year in 2022.
