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.

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.

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.

Never stay here

Initially I was helped to settle in very well but for a small village pub was not expecting to be kept awake till 1am after a very long day working by a very loud mid week party going on in the bar so would definitely NOT recommend this hotel and I would certainly not stay here again

Fair Value

New management team have recently re-opened the Inn and know that there is much to do - decor, minor maintenance and the like. The lower price reflects this. It is a lovely old building in a pleasant Dartmoor village and I had an enjoyable stay.

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.

Jason

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Disappointing.

Very tight entrance to small car park. Staff struggled to open room door. Decor poor. No light bulb in one bedside light. Bathroom sink cracked and chipped. Shower curtain did not stop water getting on to bathroom floor, apparent through experience and stained lino floor. Some kind of fixing for something (probably former toilet roll holder because there wasn't one) sticking out of the wall. Unable to release bath plug to drain water! Booked a couple a weeks in advance of stay, then 3 days before book in, received short email stating they were unable to supply breakfast with no alternative suggestions, meaning we had to make our own arrangements on top of the reason we were staying (family funeral). Generally very disappointing. I will not be recommending anybody stay here!
