The Old Smithy Inn

Second time we’ve stayed after a night in September 23. We stayed at the Old Smithy for a night in June 24. The welcome was friendly and we were shown to our room for the night. Compact but containing everything we needed for a very comfortable nights stay. Lovely shower and comfy bed! We also had a sea view and saw a lovely sunset. Breakfast in the morning was tasty and all cooked to order, with a special mention for the two sausages that were cooked for our dogs which made their day! Thank you, we’ll be back!

We spent 2 nights at the old smithy inn on the Early May bank holiday weekend, room looked nice and cozy in pictures but when we got there, the room was not very clean, especially the bathroom which still had a lot of hair from previous guests. The bedroom had a lot of bugs and spiderwebs, plus spiders around the windows. Definitely the room needs a deep clean. Staff was friendly, but we waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for our breakfast to be served. I do not recommend their accommodation, but the pub and garden are nice for a short stop.

Myself and my other half and our two dogs had the pleasure of staying at the Old Smithy Inn for a couple of nights this week and we would recommend it to anyone, we had a lovely warm welcome on arrival and were shown to our room, the room itself is compact but has everything you need, the bathroom is clean, bright and airy with a wonderful powerful shower, the bed is is incredibly comfortable and has lovely clean fresh good quality bed linen and extra blankets if needed, plenty of sockets, hairdryer and a well stocked tea/ coffee tray, there is also a lovely little balcony where you can sit, chill and watch the sun set after a lovely day enjoying the stunning area. The location itself is perfect, a pretty little village that’s lovely and quiet, even with the velux windows open overnight ( it was quite a warm night when we stayed) it was lovely and peaceful and we had a good nights sleep. The beer garden is kept beautifully with flowers and plants everywhere, Everyone we met, both staff and regulars at the pub, were lovely and made us feel at home, the pub is incredibly dog friendly and the staff were happy for us to have the dogs in the bar area and breakfast area, the meals themselves were all really delicious, well cooked and good quality ingredients, and my other half sampled several of the beers all of which he said were very good, even the dogs were spoilt with sausage at breakfast! An absolute gem of a place that we will be happy to return to.

Lovely historic pub in an idyllic setting. Enjoyed a beautiful Devonshire sunset with a fine home cooked pub meal. Some very friendly locals to share the beer garden with. Couldn't ask for more. Would definitely recommend.

Well presented pub, dogs welcome, plenty of seating outside good menu and great beers. Jazz every other Thursday.
