The West Country Inn

The team was incredibly welcoming, and looked after me well. I had a lovely evening meal, and they were kind enough to do an early breakfast for me, as I was doing a long-distance walk and needed to make the most of daylight hours. The room was quite compact, and it is clearly an older building, but was comfy enough for me. The bathroom was compact, but certainly not cramped.

We absolutely love West country inn and if I lived nearer I would be there more often ,the owner is so lovely and nothing is too much trouble, the rooms are so comfy ,and excellent breakfasts also you have to try the Sunday roast an absolute must.

we had been to barnstaple for a hospital appointment..on the way back we called in here for a meal as it was getting late and i had heard that they do good food..The choice was limited, so we had the steak and ale pie..which was ok except for the pastry on top was burnt..the vegetables came in a large disth with no seasoning just very bland..my friends pint was also very flat,which he didn1t take back..he just left it..on paying and leaving,we were not asked if our meal was ok or acknowledge us..it wasn`t busy neither..i can honestly say their food wasn`t up to scratch,maybe it was a one off,but i will stick with our local in future

Went to the bike night for something to eat. Conversation went like this hello are you still serving food. Yes but we are very busy with a long wait. Okay could you give a rough idea how long the wait would be. Reply, I'm not a mathematician. I thought how true, you also are a very rude and obnoxious woman. Decided not to eat and ordered drinks. Order taken then had to wait 15 minutes for them to be served. Cost extortionate. £3.50 for a half of lemonade with lime. Overall view rude staff, poor service and bad experience. Avoid!!!

The most unhygienic hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Arrived around lunchtime and ordered some food in the pub. Upon sitting down we noticed food scraps all over the floor, the table was filthy and the wall behind the booth was covered in mould. We couldn’t lean back as we would have got mould in our hair/on our clothes. The staff were friendly and were able to get us into our room well ahead of check-in time but unfortunately the cleanliness of the hotel completely overshadowed the whole experience. The rooms were a decent size but everything was so old - the sheets, towels and pillows looked about 10 years old. I actually couldn’t bring myself to sleep under the sheets and slept with my coat over me. There was mould in the shower and spiders. The room got quite cold at night so I left the plug-in heater running for an hour or so before falling asleep. I woke up to a spark from the heater and realised it had died. It was a great location for what we were doing in Devon but would never stay there again. I heard of friends of friends who actually couldn’t do another night at the hotel and went back to London early.

Had a lovely, comfortable stay here. If some reviews on here are to be believed, I must be very easy to please....I am not! Having travelled extensively over many years, I have stayed in many establishments of all standards all over the world. This lovely old pub is as advertised, quirky and quaint, my room was clean and comfortable and I was made to feel welcome with my dog in tow. Free onsite parking is a bonus. Host Laura coped amazingly when staff didn't bother to turn up, as is, sadly, the case globally now. If I need to be in this area in the future, I would definitely return.

Great value break staying in a historical coaching inn. Booked at last minute and wasn't many other places available within my budget, but the West Country Inn exceeded our expectations and we ended up staying 2 nights rather than just one. Comfortable en suite room with tea/coffee facilities Plenty of parking available Breakfast and evening meal available and food was excellent Good location with easy access to nearby places such as Clovelly and Bude Friendly and welcoming staff There was nothing to dislike or complain about and I would stay here again

Drove down from the west midlands to attend the Fawlty Towers night. We were met by Laura, the owner and welcomed like family. The staff were absolutely fantastic throughout and the chef did a grand job too. Highly recommend both the hotel/restaurant and the Fawlty Towers show if you see it advertised. Haven't laughed so much in years

Good food clean & comfortable hotel, nice owner. Enjoyed our stay.
