"What an absolutely golden gem of an old 13th century inn absolutely fell in love with our Easter weekend stay there everyone we saw were warm and welcoming from the owner staff and locals the room we stayed in was the dragonfly it was beautifully decorated and the little touches like a mini fridge with a small jug of milk in and complimentary drink selection were lovely and dotted around the inn were jars of mini chocolates and shelves of books for you find interesting to read if you want to cosy up the old fire places with throws over the sofas or a leisurely walk in the path ways through fields of grazing sheep everyone we met during our stay was more than happy to give us info about walks and interesting places to visit it is steeped in history and added to the pleasure of our stay last but not least we stayed based on bed and breakfast and where to start we were looking forward to this and it didn’t disappoint there was such a lovely choice of cereals fresh fruit and jams fresh percolated coffee pots of tea dried fruits and cooked breakfasts which were freshly prepared hot and delicious in a room which over looked the old Norman church we found our stay to be honestly the best we have ever had and will be booking another stay there when ever we visit Ipplepen lovely and atmospheric x"

Unbelievable, the Landlady has the rudeness of Basil Fawlty without any of his charm, what a waste of a beautiful, historic building. Tense atmosphere, maybe it was the ghost!

Very old pub lovely ingelnook fireplace . Very cosy only had a drink. But plenty of people eating there . Very relaxed atmosphere, lots of history , the landlady did over egg the ghost stories , there’s about 6 seen there and people request rooms that have the so said ghost in them

too hot heating on in late June! Lovely food, but lacking in customer service. Our car had broken down and we were trying to get taxi on a Sunday morning no advice offered and very energetically encouraged to be out of the door , which was closed firmly behind us even though apparent we had not had confirmation of pickup!

Absolutely fabulous place to stay full of character huge Stone walls, stone floorstone floors, beams and open fires.Very friendly staff fantastic food and drink reasonably priced. Luxurious accommodation with free WiFi. however phone signal a problem. Free parking. A place you really should keep quiet about as it's so good. Will return asap.

Stop over between golfing days. Wonderful and relaxing countryside setting, friendly and accommodating staff and great banter in the pub during pre meal drinks. We had a large double room overlooking fields which just added to the peaceful atmosphere. A superb breakfast provided a great start to the day. The only disappointment was the shortage of beef and ale pies that evening will phone ahead next time to pre book them!

We went for an evening meal last Saturday and really enjoyed the food. They were very accommodating (we had booked that afternoon) and were friendly. Only downside was that we were in a separate room from the main bar, towards the back of the pub. We would have much preferred to be in the bar area, as there seemed to be more atmosphere and was cozier. The room we were in was a little lacking in character and atmosphere. We would happily go back, but would ask if we could be in the bar, or a more public area.

Lovely little stopover seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Nice rooms but unbearably hot, 2 radiators on and I think under floor heating in the bathroom too. Had to turn them all of and open the window (why are they on at the end of June? . Nice choice on the menu and the food is 5 star in my opinion. Breakfast also good but doesn’t start till 8:15 so a bit late when working away but fine if you’re on holiday I guess. Peaceful and quiet, would definitely stay again as long as I didn’t need to start work early.

Stayed here unexpectedly for a night and what a beautiful old Inn. Dates back pre 13th century.. beams, old stone walls and lots of wonderful features. My single room was more like a little suite with separate lounge and bathroom. It has been modernised but they have done this very well so it feels clean and comfortable but retains lots of charm and carved wood furniture. The pub downstairs wasdog friendly although they are not permitted to stay. Friendly dogs, staff and locals made me very welcome. They do good decent food and the breakfast was great

Stayed here recently with friends whilst playing golf in the area. What a great place. Torbryan is a tiny village with a lovely old church and this pub is an old 13th century coaching inn that was once on the road from Plymouth to London. We were made to feel very welcome (both by the locals as well as the owner and staff) as soon as we arrived. The rooms were very nice indeed and very comfortable. The bar had a great choice of beers, lagers, cider etc. We all ate in bar that evening and had an excellent tasty, freshly cooked and excellent value 3 course meal accompanied by some very pleasant wine. The evening ended with a couple of night caps by the log fire. Breakfast was superb, lots of c...
