Stopped in after a morning cycle. The coffee was really good, strong and smooth. Had the breakfast plate&mdash;eggs were cooked just right. Just what I needed.

Lovely old building, very cosy inside. I do wish it was a bit brighter though, especially in the evening. Still, a nice atmosphere for a quiet dinner.

Came back for the calamari and belly pork. Quick service, perfect for a lunch break. The Eton mess is a good size to share.

Popped in for a pint after walking around Dunster Castle. The fish and chips were solid&mdash;crispy batter, decent portion. Just what you want in a village pub.

Just popped in for a pint. The fire was going and it felt really cozy. Had a couple of their local ales, which were spot on. Proper pub vibes.

The raspberry croissant brioche doughnut was so fresh, you could tell the pastry was made that morning. The fruit filling tasted like real berries, not too sweet. It did get quite crowded at lunch, had to wait a minute for a seat.

Been coming here for years. It&rsquo;s a proper local, and they&rsquo;re always welcoming to dogs. Tried the sea bass off the specials board last night &ndash; cooked just right, simple and fresh. That&rsquo;s what keeps me coming back.

The wood-fired pizza base is incredibly light and tasty, just like some I&#39;ve had in Italy. The subtle tomato base with Parma ham is spot on.

Loved the broccoli and stilton soup here. Got it with the cheese toastie on the side &ndash; the perfect combo for a rainy afternoon. Cosy little spot, felt right at home.

Lovely little spot. The flat white was just right - smooth and strong, exactly what I needed. Sat by the window for a good hour, watching people pass by. The vibe is cozy and a bit quirky. Coffee&#39;s the real star here.

The roast was fantastic, and their wine list had some really nice pairings to go with it. Staff were very helpful too.

The staff are so friendly, especially Roly and Lesley. It really feels like a proper local.

The gluten-free pasties were a nice find. They bake them fresh, you can tell. The crust was actually flaky, which is tricky with gluten-free dough. Tasted pretty good, too.

The decaf is a proper coffee, not just some weak flavoured milk. That&rsquo;s what got me. Had it with their Oatly barista oat milk and it was actually rich. A solid find for a decent cup.

Loved the quiet, cosy vibe here. The vegan cheese on their gluten-free sandwich was surprisingly good - not something you see often.

The staff are consistently kind and attentive, especially to my son. They always take the time to chat with him, which makes our visits very positive. It&rsquo;s a simple thing, but it means a lot.

Grabbed the chicken burger meal deal for a quick lunch. The chicken was juicy, and the fries weren&#39;t greasy. The real game-changer was the server&#39;s suggestion to pair it with a crisp lager &ndash; cut right through the richness. That peri peri salt is a must. Solid spot.

Really friendly team here. Saw them help a customer who was struggling, just went out of their way. Nice to see that kind of care.

Coffee&#39;s top notch. Got a sandwich to go - fresh and tasty. Perfect for a quick bite by the sea. Service was quick, which is what I needed.

The steak was cooked just right, and the Eton Mess was lovely. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted, especially the berries in the dessert. The atmosphere in the pub was quite nice too.

Been staying here for years. The room overlooking the church is always so peaceful and comfortable. Perfect base for exploring Dartmoor.

Just stopped by for the shellfish platter. Really generous portion, enough for two. The prawns were sweet, mussels fresh. That view over the colourful houses was a nice bonus.

Decent spot for a pint. The food looked pretty good from what I saw at other tables. They&#39;re very dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. A solid choice for a casual drink.

Stopped in for a change and got their hot chocolate. It was made with real dark chocolate, not too sweet. The staff were friendly. A nice little treat on a cold day.

Breakfast was included with our stay. The ingredients felt fresh, especially the tomatoes and mushrooms. A nice, healthy start to the day. The view from the pub is lovely, right by the water.

The pea fritters were a real standout. Light, crispy, and not greasy at all. They paired so well with the fish and chips. I&#39;d come back just for those.
