The Tors Inn — Restaurant in West Devon

We stayed at The Tors Inn with our 2 Dogs for 7 nights celebrating both of our 60th Birthdays and our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The Tors Inn is a great base to explore Dartmoor and the surrounding area of Devon. We had a double room with a very comfortable King Size bed. The room was very tastefully decorated with En-suite shower and toilet. The large screen smart TV allowed us to use our own accounts to continue watching our box sets for the small amount of time that we spent in the room. As an ex-chef (many years ago) I still love cooking, so can be very critical if food is not up to scratch when I am paying for it. The food at the Tors is good pub grub. – Simple, adequate choice, and all cooked extremely well. The Burgers served from the shed are delicious. The included Full English and alternatives were also very good. The Landlord ‘Dicky’ has lived in Devon Villages from birth, and his tips for where to go and what to do were spot on. – The Tors is well used by keen walkers for food and refreshments. It is on the edge of the moor and several walks can be started from the Tors if staying here. If you want to venture elsewhere for a meal, Dickie’s local knowledge and recommendations were again spot on. It goes without saying that the Tors Inn is very dog and owner friendly. Thank you, Dicky, Erin, Kelly, Chefs and everyone else at The Tors for making our week on The Moor...

We strolled in, on a crispy cold day, spent walking a circular loop up on the nearby moors, with an impromptu dip in the icy waters to enliven (and then numb) the senses.

Walking into the pub, the atmosphere was immediate and welcoming. It was full. Sunday Lunch on this fresh Sunday had obviously invited punters near and far, however, we headed straight to the bar, warmed by the open log fire, where the kind land lady and her bar staff informed us that there were no tables available at present, however, if we liked, we could sit at the bar.

A nearby customer, said he had squeezed onto a long table with his large group of friends/ family, thereby freeing a table of two (our numbers) for us. A great bit of luck as the food looked and smelt great!

We sat ourselves down, ordered one beef roast and one pork roast, which came in good time and feasted. What a delight. The portions were hearty. The food delicious. Local beef and local pork proving a fitting choice for this rustic and wholesome pub. Proper!

The service was brilliant. Attentive and considered. There is a warmth and pleasantness embodied, which is natural and polite.

I would thoroughly recommend coming here for a welcome rest-bite, Sunday lunch and drink by the fire.

We will surely visit in the...

Belstone is a lovely village nestled at the edge of the moor with spectacular views and walks for dogs everywhere. The Tors inn is a perfect acompliment to its surroundings.

The pub has wheelchair access and information as you walk in about local events and activities. Dogs are very welcome and the resident Spaniel is lovely so its definitely a walkers pub 😁

The food is very good and there is a few gluten-free options even fish and chips which is very good and definitely worth a try. Potions are just right and the fire at the end of the pub just makes it more warming.

There is a good range of local drinks, beers and ciders and prices of food and drinks are quite reasonable as the quality is good.

We had a very warm reception and although not a massive pub was roomy and decorative.

You can stay there as they have guest rooms, but I didn't get to see these. However they are available if your touring the area and its a great location to have a base from.

Well worth a visit for food or drink either before or just after a good bracing walk on the moors.

Enjoy a stop at...
