We stopped of here for a bite to eat en route to Newquay from the Isle of Wight. Staff were pleasant enough, as was the food. they have an in house dog which who seemed to have a lovely temperament, unfortunately his temperament was not as good towards other pooches therefore we couldn't bring our little dog in with us. apart from that no complaints really. the garden isn't particularly child friendly as it is very rough sort of terrain. very enjoyable sat out on the veranda with a beer and a cigarette in the sun though!

Stunning, very old atmospheric pub in a lovely village setting. Friendly, maybe a bit disorganised service. Unfortunately VERY average (at best!) pub grub meal. Soggy battered fish with over-cooked peas and hard, dried, overdone chips. Fish pie (small) with minimal fish but 2 big bones. Good prices but unappetising food.Pity ... the outstanding venue and location deserves better.

Myself, husband and mother in law recently stayed here for 1 night. The accommodation was spot on. Lovely decor, massive tvs and very comfy beds, we all had an excellent sleep! We booked a table for 8pm on the evening and had an excellent meal/drinks all served by very friendly and attentive staff. One complaint would be the table sat behind us, never have i encountered such a rude person!! Was disgusted with the way he spoke to one of the young waiting staff by saying "take this away before i shove it up your a**"!!! Other than this nasty piece of work the night was very lovely and enjoyable.The breakfast in the morning was great, however full English wasn't very full and my husbands face dropped when he seen the size, but there are fruits, cereals and pastries available.we would definitely stop by this hotel again if we were to visit Axminster again.Also many thanks to the lady with dark long hair and tattoos, she was very accommodating in changing my mother in laws room so she could be closer to us and avoid the steep stairs :)

We ended our holiday on a high with a great family meal at the Hind. We received a really warm welcome and service was great. All our meals were fantastic, really good home cooked pub food and generous portions. Our son loved the home made chicken nuggets. Don't drive by this pub...you'd miss a gem!

I was made to feel extremely welcome and was very well looked after. The room was just perfect and warm and comfortable. The breakfast prepared by Jean was great and was prepared personally for me - none of that buffet nonsense! The food and drink in the evening was just as good, and I had one of the nicest pan fried sea-bass meals I have ever had.

As a frequent solo traveller, I often judge pubs on the type of welcome you get when walking in on your own. Here you get the warmest welcome possible from a delightful landlady who is obviously adored by the locals. I just wish there were more places like this. Everything a pub should be!

A friend and I decided as a last minute decision to go to Tuckers. Fortunately we were offered a table (most of the restaurant was booked) on the left hand side as you go in. The food was lovely, I had the Smoked Haddock Florentine which was exceptional and my friend had the scampi which was plump and delicious! We didn't have room for dessert! If I had to mention a negative it is that the area we were in suffers from the very loud hand drying machine noise in the ladies toilet which is situated close by. Apart from that the girls serving and behind the bar were friendly and charming.

The food here at the New Inn is consistently excellent. Today we had one of Mandy's fantastic Ploughmans, beautifully presented and so delicious and Smoked Mackerel with Sourdough bread, equally as delicious. Totally recommend this lovely Devon pub, which we so lucky to have in this lovely village. Thank you to both Mandy and Carey

16th Century Coaching Inn commands an enviable position, conveniently situated on the main A35 where Devon & Dorset meet, between the bustling market town of Axminster, and the beautiful seaside town of Lyme Regis, the gateway to the Jurassic Coast.

However on my sisters birthday 22.09.19 the food was adequate but the service was very poor 0ne meal was suppose to have had bread had to ask for it, had to ask for spoons to eat desert.did not get an ordered drink and would have liked coffee but was not offered. May be better on the week but would not go on a Sunday.

My husband and I stayed overnight here and dined in their restaurant. Our stay was comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. Service was attentive, friendly and professional. Extensive menu containing pub classics and vegetarian/vegan choices. They use local produce as much as possible. We were presented with some complimentary tasters before our main. The chef is very talented! Hake and chips with crushed peas and tartare sauce was demolished by my husband. I opted for a roasted veg dish with aubergine and delightful wontons. We were full after our mains but managed to squeeze in Jaffacake icecream !!!! Divine!!!!! Do come and eat here, you won't be disappointed!Our room we stayed in overnight was well equipped and cosy, separate from the inn. Very comfortable bed, bathroom clean, shower and bath in room 1. Outdoor seating available, weather permitting.
