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.
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.
Das Hotel ist zwar schon älter, aber uns hat es gefallen. Das Zimmer war gross mit Wasserkocher (Tee/Kaffee) und Kühlschrank. Parkplatz im Hof.
Leider war die Bar gut besucht und wir hatten bis nach Mitternacht Unterhaltung (Gelächter, Gejole und Musik). Und um einen Film auf dem Laptop anzuschauen, war das Internet zu langsam.

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.
Stayed for business however was blown away with how spacious and comfortable the rooms were. Really clean, tidy and quiet. Would highly recommended staying here.
Very comfy bed nice ensuite and very helpful staff. Excellent value for money.

Stayed in Bedroom 2, initially shown to Bedroom 1 but there was road noise outside so asked if I could have a different room. Bedroom 2 comfortable however bathroom could do with modernising.
Another stay at The Packhorse and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed by the new friendly team.
Loved the Italian evening menu on Thursday and enjoyed a first rate meal.
All the bedrooms are spacious and our bed very comfortable. Many thanks.

Very welcoming staff. Beautiful location. Dinner in the pub was amazing. The room didn't have a four poster as pictured but was stll very comfortable and clean. Shower left a lot to be desired.

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.
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

Very reasonable for the price.
No fuss, functional, met my single traveler needs.
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!
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.
