Tavistock Inn - West Devon

We stopped by looking for a place to stay for the night and were greeted by Jenny and her partner. They were welcoming and showed us a few different rooms to choose from. We decided on their recently renovated king size room, which was impeccably clean, had a cozy bed, and a great shower. The rest of the pub was also very clean. For breakfast, we enjoyed a traditional full English meal that was freshly cooked to order. We would definitely stay there again.

The new managers have done a fantastic job considering the restaurant's past. When we arrived, the place was in terrible condition as the previous tenants had taken everything they could. The pub's current Facebook page is now called The New Tavistock Inn. Despite facing some resistance from locals, the new managers are determined to make the restaurant successful.

It's amazing how much things have changed. We have visited this restaurant a few times this year and it used to be a charming, welcoming place with friendly locals and a great atmosphere. However, since Keith and Alison have left, it's not the same. When we arrived, it was dark and cold, there was a mess that no one seemed to care about, and the bartender was on his phone and didn't even acknowledge us. There were no locals present and the atmosphere was lacking. The selection of real ales was limited and honestly, the one we tried was terrible. We definitely won't be returning.

The owners are very welcoming and the locals have made them feel right at home. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent. The room was lovely.

This pub is one of the best I have ever visited. The owner is friendly (which is quite rare), the staff are welcoming, and the decor is fantastic. The food is also top-notch, although a bit pricey. I highly recommend visiting this pub if you have the chance. In fact, my friends and I often make the trip to Tavistock just to visit this place.
