埃克塞特酒店(The Exeter Inn)

We stopped at this pub by chance for a light lunch. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was great and the pub had a cosy yet modern feel to it. A nice surprise! Thank you. We would definitely revisit when we are next in the area.

The meal was excellent and we could not fault it, the service was also excellent the staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We have been visiting the Exeter Inn over the past 44 years and have seen many changes during this time, we hope that Jonathan, Phil, Liz and the rest of the team have a long and succesful and happy stay.

Great country pub . Very friendly staff and locals . We hadn’t booked , a spontaneous walk in , however they were incredibly accommodating. Lovely food , good value . Will definitely be recommending to friends and will be making a return trip .

What a beautiful surprise! Found this place by total accident and it was fabulous. The food was absolutely gorgeous so flavoursome and lovely choices as well. We will most definitely return next time we are around. So lovely that they could accommodate us when we hadn’t booked too! Thanks so much!

Turned up at 1.30pm on a not particularly busy Sunday. We are a cycling couple and were really hungry but we're told they couldn't serve us. We were 30 miles into our day out, so ate our own emergency rations at their picnic tables. Won't be risking that pub again. Exeter Inn used to be welcoming to cyclists years ago. Eventually had a good meal and welcome at The Globe in Sampford Peverell after 45 miles - no discrimination there.

Was advised by owner of our rental property to dine here. Off a main road but with plenty of parking. Entered the pub by what must have been the public bar end. At first didn’t think this was a foodie place but more of a traditional male boozer. Realised the pub had another bar which was quieter but still didn’t look very much like a place for a sit down meal. Next to this, however, was a restaurant. There was only one table occupied, which didn’t bode well, but we took our place nonetheless. Ordered the steak.it arrived. Cut into steak, didn’t need a steak knife it was so beautifully done. It came with salted roasted peppers, Bloody Mary tomato and skin on fries. Everything on the plate was outstanding. The steak was perfection. Crumble for pudding and again perfection. Highest quality and taste at pub prices. Service was prompt and the owner took time to chat and explain the dishes. A superb dining experience.

Booked as a convenient place to celebrate a couple of birthdays and a first stay “off grid” in newly collected motorhome. Inspired decision. Lovely traditional pub right on the edge of Exmoor – all the low ceiling, roaring fire, cosy chairs you would hope for in such an old building but with lots of really nice modern touches both in the bar and the rooms. Phil and Jonathan were fantastic hosts, the beer was very well kept, the food (dinner and breakfast) was delicious, the room was well appointed and facilities were immaculately clean. Car park is pretty level and separated from the road by trees and is secluded enough for traffic noise to be minimal overnight.

Visited yesterday (21st) for Sunday lunch. The food was beautifully presented, very tasty and plenty of it. Reasonably priced and a good variety of sides. Service from Jonathan was outstanding. A really lovely pub. Will definitely visit again.

We were the last booking for Christmas Day lunch. We were treated very well and were grateful for the staff who gave up part of their Christmas Day for us. There was a slight delay in our food as an earlier large table had apparently arrived late. But all our food was exceptional and very well presented. We will definitely be back.
