A fantastic find, we had a one night stay on way to Cornwall, the staff and food were excellent. The locals were all friendly and made you feel welcome
Landlord and staff very friendly and accommodating. Food very good. Building in need of updating and attention. Not suitable if you go to bed early as noise from bar can keep you awake. Bed very comfortable. Good breakfast
On arrival had to fight our way through customers eating and drinking in the pub and try and get the attention of the man behind the bar. No keys to rooms. A door from the bar took you to the staircase that anyone could access. No official parking, cars were all over the place on the narrow roan in Iddesleigh.
This is what I call a 'Proper Pub': great food, great atmosphere, not trying to be anything more than the true old style hostelry that is sadly disappearing from many of our towns and villages. I spent just the one night here; wish I could have stayed longer. Very comfy en suite room in this lovely old (listed?) 15th C stone and cob building that has not a straight line in any of its walls. Simple facilities, no fancy frills like complimentary toiletries or hair dryer, so ensure you bring your own if you stay. Wonderful old bedstead and brown antique furniture. I slept like a log.
The generous halloumi fajitas meal I had was terrific and great value at ÂŁ14. Afterwards I enjoyed a good beer or two sat at the bar chatting with locals. As a single female guest I felt very welcome and completely at home. I might have to move to Iddesleigh...
Quite an olde worlde type hotel. Very narrow country roads to get there, basic but quite comfortable, spaceous room, quite at night, plenty accessories. Fantastic food though, evening meals and breakfast, and staff extremely pleasant and helpfull.
We loved the Duke Of York . So far it is the best place that we have stayed in on this trip. The food has been fantastic , wonderful made to order breakfast , the best Sunday beef roast dinner that we have ever had! The place is so unique with its history and ambience. The location is remote but worth getting to. No traffic noise , just a beautiful peaceful view from our room . The staff is wonderful and all of the other patrons very friendly. We picked this location because it was near where we were doing family research. We are so glad we did.
