Very pleasant stay. Well appointed and clean double bedroom. Friendly and accommodating staff. Nice breakfast and most enjoyable evening meal in the pub. Lovely steak and the ham and eggs looked good too!

2/10 Poor

Never stay here

Initially I was helped to settle in very well but for a small village pub was not expecting to be kept awake till 1am after a very long day working by a very loud mid week party going on in the bar so would definitely NOT recommend this hotel and I would certainly not stay here again

Fair Value

New management team have recently re-opened the Inn and know that there is much to do - decor, minor maintenance and the like. The lower price reflects this. It is a lovely old building in a pleasant Dartmoor village and I had an enjoyable stay.

2/10 Poor

the manager was so rude , if he can't manage the venue or run the site he should not be doing the job

4/10 Fair

Terrible.

Very disappointing experience.  Presumably old photos of 'master room' on profile. Reality was different. Drapes around the four poster bed were missing.  The appearance of the room. was the sole reason for paying the higher rate.  Decor and fittings old and shabby.  Worst problem was the couldn't care less attitude from the charmless, unhelpful man who checked us in.  No idea about customer service. Dinner menu not available on a Friday night, just a couple of very boring 'specials'.  Something worth knowing before booking. Breakfast included in the rate didn't start until 9:30 on a Saturday wiith checkout time 'before 10am'.  Seriously?  Not prepared to waste time waiting for a breakfast that late. So ended up paying again for breakfast elsewhere. Building scruffy and depressing,  inside and out. freezers and shelving units dumped in the car park. No opportunity to complain at the time as the bar was locked and no-one was around when we left at 8am. In fairness bed was comfortable and large shower room was ok.

Very polite, kind and helpful staff. The room we had was big and comfortable. Equipped to the level one would expect for the rate.
Alex, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

No attention to detail

The owner/manager was very friendly and welcoming showing us to our room and gave us an explanation on keys and a place to get a coffee. The pub itself was cosy and clean. Why we rated the room low was because the shower needed a good scrub as there was orange mold around the shower tray and black dirt also hairs on the screen and by the drain. The towels were clean but there was no complimentary shower gel/ shampoo. The bed was really squeaky and the pillows were more air than filling plus we were road side and was really noisy. The inn had lots of character and an old feel which we loved. We totally get that we only paid £70 for the night, but we felt that the attention to detail wasn't there. A couple of postives were the small fridge which was really useful and the free carpark at the rear.

Lovely pub to use as a base

Friendly staff. Room very clean. Bed lovely & comfy. Could have done with a net that fitted window. No breakfast or food but we only used as a base to visit relatives so that didn’t matter. Fridge in room was good to chill drinks.

Gut für eine Nacht

Das Hotel ist zwar schon älter, aber uns hat es gefallen. Das Zimmer war gross mit Wasserkocher (Tee/Kaffee) und Kühlschrank. Parkplatz im Hof. Leider war die Bar gut besucht und wir hatten bis nach Mitternacht Unterhaltung (Gelächter, Gejole und Musik). Und um einen Film auf dem Laptop anzuschauen, war das Internet zu langsam.

Good ‘ol Pack Horse Inn

I was staying so I could visit family in Bittaford and Ivybridge so location for me was brilliant. It’s a nice little inn with lots of character and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again definitely.

Another stay at The Packhorse and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed by the new friendly team. Loved the Italian evening menu on Thursday and enjoyed a first rate meal. All the bedrooms are spacious and our bed very comfortable. Many thanks.

Very welcoming staff. Beautiful location. Dinner in the pub was amazing. The room didn't have a four poster as pictured but was stll very comfortable and clean. Shower left a lot to be desired.

One night stay

Checked in early thanks to 2 very helpful ladies. Room pretty basic but fine for my needs and great value. Barman very competent and helpful. Lovely beer garden. No food Tuesday night but I should have checked. Biggest problem is the noise as room directly above bar and facing onto road and window next to some extractor fan or the like. If you can’t deal with this then this is perhaps not for you.

Nice beer but food not served on a Tuesday which Hotels.com should point out.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing.

Very tight entrance to small car park. Staff struggled to open room door. Decor poor. No light bulb in one bedside light. Bathroom sink cracked and chipped. Shower curtain did not stop water getting on to bathroom floor, apparent through experience and stained lino floor. Some kind of fixing for something (probably former toilet roll holder because there wasn't one) sticking out of the wall. Unable to release bath plug to drain water! Booked a couple a weeks in advance of stay, then 3 days before book in, received short email stating they were unable to supply breakfast with no alternative suggestions, meaning we had to make our own arrangements on top of the reason we were staying (family funeral). Generally very disappointing. I will not be recommending anybody stay here!
