I actually really enjoyed my stay at the Pack Horse. The staff at reception were really friendly & helpful. It was peaceful & private & clean & comfortable, although basic, reflecting the modest price. But it wasn’t the room we were shown online when we booked & no food was available - as stated on the website.

Good ‘ol Pack Horse Inn

I was staying so I could visit family in Bittaford and Ivybridge so location for me was brilliant. It’s a nice little inn with lots of character and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again definitely.

Lovely pub to use as a base

Friendly staff. Room very clean. Bed lovely & comfy. Could have done with a net that fitted window. No breakfast or food but we only used as a base to visit relatives so that didn’t matter. Fridge in room was good to chill drinks.

Beautifully comfortable bed and fantastic shower. Friendly welcome, good atmosphere in bar and great tapas. However, someone might like to attend to the roof of the building directly below bedroom 1, which offers unexpected views.

Another stay at The Packhorse and we were not disappointed. The new management are welcoming and friendly. We loved the Italian night menu on Thursday, receiving a first rate meal. Our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Many thanks.

One night stay

Checked in early thanks to 2 very helpful ladies. Room pretty basic but fine for my needs and great value. Barman very competent and helpful. Lovely beer garden. No food Tuesday night but I should have checked. Biggest problem is the noise as room directly above bar and facing onto road and window next to some extractor fan or the like. If you can’t deal with this then this is perhaps not for you.

Brief stay whilst visiting my mother in care home

Room 1. The room had been updated relatively recently. Comfortable bed, decent shower (once one worked out how it worked) and modern units. Blinds need attention so I just left them down. Some noise from below but room isnt over bar so wasnt a problem. Food basic pub grub but delicious. Excellent beer. Staff very busy. Responsive to requests but some guests may desire a more proactive approach.

No attention to detail

The owner/manager was very friendly and welcoming showing us to our room and gave us an explanation on keys and a place to get a coffee. The pub itself was cosy and clean. Why we rated the room low was because the shower needed a good scrub as there was orange mold around the shower tray and black dirt also hairs on the screen and by the drain. The towels were clean but there was no complimentary shower gel/ shampoo. The bed was really squeaky and the pillows were more air than filling plus we were road side and was really noisy. The inn had lots of character and an old feel which we loved. We totally get that we only paid £70 for the night, but we felt that the attention to detail wasn't there. A couple of postives were the small fridge which was really useful and the free carpark at the rear.
