Apparently the pub changed hands 2 weeks ago and a few teething problems were evident which the lady who greeted us did her best to rectify which was nice but still a bit dissapointed with our stay. The wifi did not work but we have unlimited data so not a big problem.  The first room we were given had a dedicated bathroom across the hall .. but had a broken bed so we were moved to a second room - the mattress in that room was super soft and a little uncomfortable but not a big problem though the “ensuite” bathroom was extremely small and the door handle was broken. We asked to borrow an iron - there wasn’t one in the property so the lady was good enough to get one from the local Tesco so that was really nice of her. There was no sign of any breakfast on either of the two mornings of our stay (though we had booked bed and breakfast) and the pub was closed before 10:30 on both nights of our stay (mid week). The bedroom was clean and airy. So in summary a little dissapointing

Dissapointing

Years of lack of investment are very evident in the property and a recent change of management meant we were offered 4 free drinks vouchers to somehow compensate that they now couldn't offer breakfast paid for.The first nights sleep was shocking, because, as we realised in the morning, someone (and that's the polite version) had put the mattress upside down, so we were sleeping on the underside on a mattress that shouldn't be flipped but only spun top-to-bottom!  Quite unbelievable!  (we flipped the mattress back to the correct position and remade the bed of course!)The fire door upstairs was jammed open and one downstairs not closed.  The kettle cord was too short to plug in so had to be put on the floor to boil! Not enough room in the en-suite to hang towels for 2 people (hook on door removed) and no toilet roll holder on the wall and no room for a floor-based system; the bathroom door handle was also coming off with all four screws losing their grip of the wooden door.The shower head holder was loose, and the handle to the shower sliding door only had one of two securing points fixed - one was missing.This was all a real shame, I lived in Malborough in my youth and wanted to stay there and put money back into the community, as tourism really is one of few incomes other than farming and fishing etc typical of more remote rural areas.On a positive, the room was clean.

Really liked the new landlords, but the room (en suite) was FREEZING cold --heating did not work--- and is not as pictured: no comfy chair (it was removed by previous landlord), no sofa bed as in the listing. The 2nd room I stayed in had a broken bed frame, so the mattress had sunk...also, No tennis court! Somebody needs to update the pictures, info on this site!! Food was good and a decent country pub, near Salcombe.

Rooms need heating and TLC

What a massive disappointment used to be so good, steak was well over cooked,tough and tastless, chips under cooked, tomato under cooked and hard,peas hard, chef went out to smoke twice and both times didn't wash his hands on returning to the kitchen, bar staff were lovely but obviously know what it's like as not once we're we asked if it was alright! Won't be returning! 

Disappointed

Great spot, friendly service, sadly however tea coffee water wasn't topped up during our 3 night stay (we were only given one days supply). Also a shame that we couldn't used the bar one night as they were hosting a wedding and next night (Sunday) they were closed for the evening.

This was a superb find. Lovey friendly hosts, staff & locals. Food excellent, all comforts provided, can’t rate it highly enough.

Superb find
