Tavistock Inn - West Devon

Having booked a room for my self and my wife via Booking.com and having phoned the property two weeks before regarding our stay we were not impressed to find the pub/hotel shut on our arrival and being informed it had been shut for 5 days due to a 'major issue '. No comms from Booking.com or the pub/hotel to advise us which left us to scrabble around to find other accomodation. Suggest you double check with the property as Booking.com were not even aware of the situation until we called them. It 's still available on their website but is closed for the foreseeable future according to the FB page of the pub. Beware!

Do not ask for tea or coffee. After two rounds of drinks in as family group of 4 we asked politely for a hot drink only to be lectured on where you could get one in Tavistock-23 place’s apparently. This was after innocently engaging the landlord in discussion on beer choices and his pub Millwall paraphernalia only to receive condescending smart ass comments. We are regular visitors to Tavistock and will be surprised to see this owner still in business next year. Next stop, Wetherspoons. Welcoming, inexpensive and endless tea and coffee.

This Inn has very good reviews so after a days cycling, we decided to stay here. The room was comfortable and large. However. When we were showed into the room we were told that there was going to be live music in the bar below. We were not told this, and would not have booked. The music went on till 11:20 pm and then noise out in the street below till 12:30 am so not a quiet place to stay on a Friday night. The bedlinen and towels also smelt of cigarette smoke which is not good when you do not smoke.

Had a fantastic stay. The staff/owner were friendly and very helpful. Our room was lovely and comfortable and spacious. The breakfasts were plentiful and very tasty. The bar had a lovely friendly atmosphere, we were made to feel really welcome. Will definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay here. Keith and Alison were so friendly. The room was lovely and quiet. The bed comfortable and we've never seen such a clean ensuite. The cooked breakfast was cooked to order and very tasty. There was also fruit, yoghurt and cereals on offer. I couldn't fault it; good value place to go. We would recommend it
