The Rockford Inn - North Devon

Best meal of our holiday. We were in north Devon for a week and met friends there, yes Mr Robey, and we loved it. No distractions, just a good pub with excellent food. My onion bhaji burger was lovely. The landlord was good company and very funny. Dog friendly and in a beautiful location.

Wow! What a gorgeous setting. Good food- we had Sunday roast lunch, which was well prepared with traceability for the ingredients on a board above the bar.)The staff were busy, but helpful and friendly and we had the impression that when they asked how everything was, they wanted to know. Lovely country pub with some outdoor seating .

The location is beautiful, and the staff are very welcoming, but that 's where the compliments stop!! The Rockford Inn needs to get in line with the 21st century. Not being able to check in between 3 and 6 in the current economic climate is certainly not acceptable, if you want to survive as any hospitality industry. The food was mediocre to say the least, and if my Exmoor steak burger had ever seen Exmoor, then I 'm an Antarctic Explorer!! The rooms and whole environment are dated, and the whole place is in need of a refurb. There was no plug in our sink, and the bed was so noisy and uncomfortable, we were glad to get home for a decent nights sleep. We only stayed for on e breakfast, and it was pretty abysmal, albeit, the sausages in my sandwich were local, there was no attention to detail. Overall there was no culinary prowess demonstrated throughout our stay, and there are much better eateries and restaurants nearby. All in all, a beautiful location, but a terrible 'hostel '. Wouldn 't go back again

Great location next to the river. Lovely pot of tea. Great pitstop on the walk up from Watersmeet. Friendly service!

Absolutely stunning location. The rooms are clean, fresh and a very high standard. Cosy pub with really friendly service. Got to be the best fish and chips we have ever had! Would definitely recommend this place and will be going back without a doubt!
