(01364) 652013
The oldest pub in Ashburton, built in 1130 to house the workers of St. Andrews Church (opposite the inn) and has remained an inn since that date although it was originally known as the Church House Inn. Behind the bar in what was the old fireplace can be seen the large original millstones and this area houses a granite shelf for the serving of the gravity fed ales. It is reputed that Sir Francis Drake was a regular drinker at the inn on his journeys to London as was Sir Walter Raleigh. Raleigh was arrested at the Exeter Inn and imprisoned in the Tower of London on 19th July 1603, accused of plotting against the king. There are seated drinking areas either side of the entrance hallway in the main bar, which is L-shaped, rustic and wood-panelled. There are smaller seated areas at the rear. Lovely flagstone floored corridor leads to a secluded walled garden outside at the back. A range of local real Ciders are on sale. This pub consistently features in the GBG.

Only a five-minute drive from Totnes, the pub is nestled in the rolling hills located in the village of Littlehempston. It dates back many centuries and is recorded as being the Church House in 1830, subsequently the Bolton Arms, and finally changing its name to the Tally Ho in 1957. It was South Devon’s first community pub opening for business in 2014 having been closed for over three years. The freehold was acquired by the current licensees Kelly and Mike Joiner in September 2023, and they continue to deliver superb real ales, excellent home-cooked food using local produce and boast an impressive wine list. The interior is very 'olde worlde' with black timber beams, columns, wood panelling, thick stone walls and three open fireplaces. At the rear of the premises is an enclosed beer garden, that leads to the pub's own car park. The Tally Ho has won many awards over recent years – it’s been in the Good Beer Guide since 2016, has been runner-up in the Pub of the Year, was 2019 Rural Pub of the Year, and won South Devon Pub of the Year in 2022.

Researchers contend that a 9th-century Devon 'longhouse' existed on this site before a more modern re-build in the 13th century. Originally a farmhouse beside a stream, with its own well, it was only converted into a pub and restaurant in 1982, and is most probably the finest example of a 'longhouse' to a pub conversion in the South Devon area. The interior is on three separate levels, the lower level being the the main entrance foyer with the restaurant/function room and toilets with easy disabled access. The bar is accessed by 3 steps. This historic pub changed hands in August 2018.

The Rugglestone Inn is a unique, unspoilt Dartmoor inn delightfully located in the picturesque village of Widecombe in the Moor. Originally a cottage, the Grade II listed building was converted to an inn back in 1823 and named after a local logan stone. It is surrounded by peaceful moorland, adjacent to a pretty stream and just a few minutes walk from the centre of the village. Inside, there is a cosy bar with a wood burner and two further rooms, one of which has an open log fire, together creating a wonderful ‘home from home’ atmosphere. Outside is a large sheltered garden with picnic tables accessible via a small bridge over a delightful moorland stream and from where you can enjoy fabulous views. Children and dogs are welcome but we ask that dogs be kept on a lead. A wide selection of home-cooked food is available. Local farm cider is sold, with the house beer from Teignworthy. The pub’s car park is just down the road. Local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2012, 2017 and it consistently appears in the GBG. The real ales are on gravity dispense. It was voted Country Pub of the Year and overall runner-up for 2022 by the local CAMRA branch.
