“A warm welcome indeed, this place feels like a true village pub, especially with the fire crackling. The pizza night is a particularly inspired touch, and the prices for both food and drink are refreshingly reasonable. It's the kind of spot you'd happily revisit if you find yourself in the South Hams.”
