A last minute business trip (found out at lunch for that evening) saw me stay here last night and I’m so glad I did. 
I checked availability on line and called about 4pm to book. The gentleman I spoke with confirmed it was ok for me to arrive “out of normal hours”  (circa 10pm) and that parking was available for my extra long van. 

On arrival I was warmly greeted and shown to my Studio room. The room was spotlessly clean with a comfortable king bed, bathroom with walk in power shower and it’s own kitchen area with fridge, oven, microwave, kettle and associated crockery, cutlery and drinking glasses. There was also a small dining table with 2 chairs, a sofa and tv. Also in the room was a fan, hairdryer and iron and ironing board. 

Whilst I didn’t use the kitchen area and/or the other items had I stayed more than one night or arrived earlier I probably would have. 

Although my room overlooked a fairly busy road a good night sleep followed although I suspect in the summer you might not be able to sleep with the windows open. 

Come morning, although I hadn’t booked the hostess was more than happy to fit me in for breakfast with a small but suitable selection of cereal, toast, juice and hot offerings. (Cooked to order). The breakfast food I ordered was hot and cooked well. Perfect to start the day.

I established that they do evening meals too if residents don’t want to use the kitchen facilities in their room with the menu I saw offering typical “pub grub” offerings (steak, burgers, scampi, fish pie, lasagne etc) at very reasonable prices. They are also licensed so you can have a glass of something chilled with your meal (or without eating ) should you wish. 

Many of my previous reviews question if I would stay here again if on business this way or if I’d stay with my wife on a non business visit and the answer to both would be yes! 

It was a lovely find and I hope that either work or holiday finds me in this area sometime soon so I can stay again. If I do, I’ll endeavour to arrive earlier and stay longer!

A lovely find!

We stayed here for three nights end of July/start of August.  We needed a dog friendly location close to a family event in Angersleigh.  The Blackbird Inn suited out needs very well.  We especially enjoyed the breakfast, with plenty of choice and with the best bacon, perfectly cooked!  Wish we had been able to sample the evening menu too..  
The owners were kind enough to make us a packed breakfast as we had to leave early on our day of departure and thoughtfully tumble dried a pair of shorts that we had been trying to dry on the room.  Busy location on the A38, but fine with windows closed.  Lovely private garden for guest use.  

Very good breakfast, great hosts

Great find for us as a stop over on the way to Cornwall, lovely owners who can't do enough for you, fabulous rooms our room had a lovely bed with WiFi tv fridge cooker microwave sink tea making facilities with on suite toilet shower room. Food was very good and hot and the full English well I didn't eat until teatime after mine, highly recommend and we will return.
Thank you both so much Andy Jayne Syd & Rocco the dogs

We stayed here for family reunion activities in Barnstaple and Taunton.  It's a lovely former pub with updated, ensuite rooms. We enjoyed Studio 1 on the ground floor. Traffic is quiet overnight.  Parking is free and the cooked breakfast has everything you'd want to order. The owners are lovely friendly people with suggestions for walks in the surrounding area. 

Convenient, comfortable and friendly

Stayed 2 nights so we could go for a few walks with our dog and drink cider from some nearby locations and the Blackbird Inn was perfect for this. Peter & Evie were accommodating & friendly, always making sure we were okay, the garden area was lovely and the food was brilliant too. If we return to the area, we will definitely be going back!

Friendly owners, brilliant location and a nice room!

We had a lovely 2 night stay for a family wedding. We stayed in a spotlessly clean studio. Everything there we could ask for. The breakfast was superb and nothing was too much trouble. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again.

What a gem

Easy to locate just off the A38. Our room overlooked the main road, but most traffic noise was muffled by the double glazing, and by "bedtime" the traffic was virtually nil.
We enjoyed a very pleasant dinner and breakfast.
Mine host and his partner were very hospitable and made our stay more than pleasant.
This is a lovely place to stay en route to Plymouth and the ferries.
As would be expected from a building dating back to 1773 it had certain quirks as to be expected by such an old building.
Good wifi and generally  highly recommended.

One night stay

This is a fantastic place to stay with the warmest of welcomes, great early evening food (nothing too much trouble) and a good range of very well priced drinks. It’s on the main road and the walls are a bit thin but honestly what do you expect for the price. Can’t wait to come back (might have to find an excuse to do so!)

Lovely welcoming place to stay

Lovely stay at the Blackbird Inn. We booked an over night stay on our way to cornwall to break up the journey. The rooms were comfortable,  we had 2 kind size rooms on the front on the building ( it is situated on a main road but wasn't noisey)
We had breakfast included and we paid for evening meal. The restaurant was lovely and there is a lovely garden setting at the back, Food was excellent and Peter,Claire and the rest of the staff were brilliant, taking time out to chat and see if we were ok.
Thanks for a lovely stay and we will definitely stay again.

Just perfect

We stayed nearby on our way to Cornwall and had drinks and evening meal and then went back for breakfast in the morning. The Blackbird is run by a very nice couple and it is a warm and inviting inn. There was a nice atmosphere for dinner and the food was very enjoyable. Not an overly complicated menu but all the favourites and well presented. There is a really nice bar with some great beers etc. Breakfast in the morning was very nice and we will certainly return for a stopover when travelling to Cornwall on a work night. The other thing that we noted was that we heard a number of people say they stayed regularly and that they would be back again next time!
