Best KPortal Reviews
Don't be put off by the run down exterior of this village pub which has been through tough times over the past couple of years. New managers have arrived (December 2023) and are doing an amazing job and were extremely welcoming. Stopped for coffee but ended up having a fruit crumble which was probably the best I've ever had in a pub/restaurant. The exterior is due for a complete refurb this year which should help get the pub back on its feet.
This is the first time that we have eaten here since the new owners, at the start of the year. The food was absolutely great. There is a fine range of beers, and the people are friendly. It is some years since this was a decent local. Now we intend to come here regularly
Went with grandchildren for a treat we ordered children meals mashed potato was not very tasty tasted more like powdered. The sausage was overall okay, but the pub needs a clean and decoration needed badly , the pub is more for drinker's than a family pub. The staff are pleasant and friendly.
The pictures on the website were nothing like what we saw when we arrived. Room was okay.|The room was not worth what we paid. They charged us the old owners prices which was more than their current prices.|We stayed in a city centre hotel which was nicer the following couple of nights and cost less.|Staff were nice. Bar meal was okay.|Will not go back.
Came in for lunch having done a long walk on Dartmoor with two children. Food was outstanding, clean plates all round. Lady behind the bar was very friendly. Spent the rest of the day wishing we had a local pub like this one. Will be coming back after our next walk.
Whilst food is well recommended, it is difficult to book a table if no one answers the phone. Waited til after 12.00, on phone til it cut me off.
Dinner at home it is then.
I had a wonderful stay at the Packhorse Inn in South Brent when walking the Dartmoor Way.
My room was stunning, featuring a very comfortable bed and offering lovely views over the walled-in garden. The ambiance of the pub itself was cozy, complete with a welcoming fireplace.
One thing to note is that the inn does not serve dinner or breakfast on Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan your visit accordingly. There is a grill and a coop supermarket nearby. Additionally, there is no WiFi available.
Luckily we only stayed at the Pack Horse for 1 night. We arrived early evening after spending 6.5 hours on the road. They immediately took payment for the rooms and then told us the kitchen was closed so no meals that evening and also they do not serve breakfast. After asking if there were any restaurants in the village, we were told we could order a takeaway or there was a grill across the road for burgers and kebabs. On booking I thought no meal plan with our room meant we could pay separately for dinner and breakfast? Anyway we found a very nice hotel/restaurant called the Station House around the corner where we had dinner, Pack Horse didn't mention this option. Next our rooms. Dated, in need of serious redecoration. The bathroom had a macerator which started up every time you turned on a tap, shower or the loo and was very noisy, which I'm sure could be heard by neighbouring rooms. The photo's shown on the Pack Horse web site didn't show our room! So we can only assume that room 4 is still yet to be refurbished? Would not stay here again.
