“An excellent, good value, buzzy and atmospheric choice in this patchy region” – this old coaching inn near the River Exe has “a dedicated glazed restaurant atrium so it doesn’t look or feel like a pub”. A wide variety of menus caters well to just about any eventuality.

Near the River Exe, an eighteenth-century inn where the food is a very distinct cut above pub fare, served in an intimate dining room (Friday/Saturday evenings) or the more informal glazed atrium. A newish addition is their wet-fish deli, launched in lockdown to support local fishermen.

With its “lovely, accomplished cooking” and “beautiful building in a riverside village”, this smart, eighteenth-century inn near Exeter is “brilliant for a weekend break”. All the food is highly rated – from the eight-course tasting menu to the “excellent beef sandwiches and moreish homemade soup” served in the less formal Glasshouse.

"Beautifully presented, interesting modern cuisine. My Brill was sadly a little over but forgivable given the high standard of the rest of our meal. Expensive wine list. Very attentive, friendly service in a conservatory style dining room created by an interesting over engineered glass roof covering the former carriage yard to this Georgian coaching inn. Centrally located in a lovely unspoilt historic Exe estuary former port town."
