Very nice local pub to where we were staying. Excellent food and very pleasant staff
Information to Phone ahead and book which we did was a busy night as it’s very popular, but the service was quite slow. That was the only downside. Good quality food, just slow service.

Great dog-friendly pub
A lovely pub, with friendly staff and excellent food. Generous portions. Very dog friendly. Lots of outside seating, in the warmer months. Might be best to pre-book, as can get busy.
October 2020
Lovely food
Glad we pre booked as the pub was full. Great service, lovely food, and we could take the dog inside.

Keepers Cottage
Excellent food and service
Nearby beach
This is a wide sandy and shingle beach with good access and parking nearby. Jacobs Ladder leads down to the beach from Connaught Gardens, a lovely place to take in the view. A great family beach, you'll find lots of facilities and cafes nearby. Dogs are allowed year round at the easterly end of the beach.
Nearby walk
A walk around the Cullompton area of over five and a half miles using tracks, paths and lanes. Most areas will be dry but watch out for Goblin Lane which may be muddy after wet weather. You will need GPS to follow the directions on the Web site.
Nearby town
One of the oldest towns in Devon, Ottery St Mary pre-dates the Domesday Book by some margin. Nestling in the Otter Valley, Devon’s rolling countryside spreads in every direction. Just a few miles to the south are the beaches of the south coast, perfect for days out. Ottery St Mary has a number of mystifying annual celebrations that are always great fun to witness: Tar Barrel Rolling in November (the barrels are on fire!), the spectacular carnival and Pixie Day, when local bellringers are taken captive by ‘pixies’, with a fete, live entertainment and a fireworks display.
Also nearby
A refurbished Grade II Listed historic coaching inn where families and dogs are welcome and free internet access is available.

Excellent food. Super friendly staff
Very impressed with the food the service and the staff. We used their takeaway service and the food was of excellent quality and piping hot. We will definitely use again 😁

Great Food - reasonably priced
We visited this pub twice during our stay at Snaffles Lodge. Both times we ate from the new summer menu. All the food was very good and well presented. We had for starters the scallops, the octopus and the duck - all yummy. And mains we went for the steak, the veggie noodles, the chicken Caesar salad , the Parmesan chicken and not forgetting the fish and chips. All were just perfect, if this is a temporary menu whist they attract new owners, then I can’t wait to go back and try the full one later. Highly recommended
A traditional pub centrally located in the village. Both locals and visitors alike can enjoy activities including skittles, pool, darts and boules or for a more relaxed visit, sit by the fire. The menu offers lunch and dinner created from local produce (not open Monday's). Children and well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome.

The best home-made food!
We had a really lovely evening here when we rented a property nearby. The family team runs a tight ship with each of them playing their roles: pies made by him, puds made by her, and the bar and service by son, daughter and mum. We couldn't believe how good it was. Definitely a lovely cosy place to visit if you are in the area looking for very decent home-cooked food. We were very nearly persuaded to go back the following night for live music, but wanted to make the most of our rental cottage too! Thank you to everyone for making us feel very welcome (and our dog got a sausage. Always a bonus!).
A wonderful Gothic pile with stunning formal gardens and beautiful interiors. The walled garden provides produce for the Stables restaurant where you can watch the gardeners at work or explore the woodland walks.

Free parking and walk for dog
We couldn't go in as we had the dog with us, but the car park was free and there's a nice woodland walk off the car park where dogs can walk off the lead. Nice setting and surrounding countryside.

Stunning

Saturday lunch
10 of us went to lunch here, food freshly cooked and service was first rate. Nothing a problem. Highly recommended. Shame its not on my doorstep!
A fine example of 18th Century architecture, Killerton House is home to a vast collection of period costumes - 9,000 items in all - spanning the fashions of the past 200 years. The gardens are the star of the show at Killerton. Beautiful all year round, they put on a wonderful display of rhododendrons and magnolias, set against the backdrop of Devon's rolling countryside. Open-air theatre is hosted here during the summer.

Really great for out of season walks - acres of woodland on the hill behind the house - discover that the hill is actually an iron age fort ! make sure you wear wellies at this time of year !
