Liked: Superb little pitch up at a lovely pub serving excellent food. Very good toilet + shower facilities. Brilliant little shop selling all the essentials and more. However the main asset to the devonshire arms is the lovely young lady host who made us feel very welcome and was extremely helpful.

Liked: Great welcome, lovely relaxed pub, good value for money, super convenient short walk to the tent! Pitch up says no shower but warm shower definitely available plus the pub is looking to add a shower inside. Let’s support our great British pub and get camping with these guys! PS morning bacon rolls are delicious!

Disliked: There was a shower but no hot water . WiFi didn't seem to work. Pub had limited choice
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I’m really sorry you had an issue with the wifi we have 3 separate hubs and as such there is never really an issue usually . I totally forgot to order gas for the hot water . My fault but my brain is sometimes so full 😂 🙄. It’s a shame that you didn’t let us know as we would have been able to rectify it with a better outcome for us all rather than mark us down on a review that not only affects our rather precarious business and staff morale . We are a friendly lot and will do our utmost to solve all issues within our control
Perfect location and welcoming site. Pub had a warm atmosphere.
