Nice relaxing long weekend
Booked in for a 3 night stay to visit family. Booking in was quick and painless, the room was clean and stocked with tea and coffee makings. Evening meals were served in the bar or restaurant well cooked the choice was a bit limited but found something every night. Cooked breakfast was very hot and stayed hot till the last mouthful Nice selection of real ales in the bar, our waitress was Sky and nothing was too much trouble.

The Red Lion, Chulmleigh.
The bedroom and bathroom were large and well appointed. Problem with shower and hand basin was fixed while we were out on the first day. Full English breakfast available and very well cooked. B & B very separate from pub with its own access so had to ask for milk for drinks in bar and would have liked waste bins emptied. We were the only people staying there. The food in the restaurant was good, with a large menu to choose from.

It is central to Chumley, pleasant staff, good ale. Cold at night, (limited heating and poor insulation) very noisy on a Saturday until the the late hours. (entertainment area right outside bedroom) Food was very poor. No staff available outside of opening hours. (Had to leave without finalising food bill as no staff available). Breakfast served in another establishment (short walk)

Right at the heart of the village so convenient. The room was fairly recently updated and well appointed (and warm at a very cold time). You can eat in the pub part of the hotel or in the restaurant (the pub section was colder). Staff were pleasant and helpful. We stayed 2 nights. The restaurant seemed understaffed on the second night so things were very busy for the waitress who coped quite well. Breakfast was substantial. on the first morning it was served over the road at a bakery/café as the chef had an appointment. That was a good breakfast too!

Great Village Pub
Decent room and really good shower. The pub food was great. Surprised to find that we had to go over the road for breakfast to the Old Dairy but the full English was lovely, the place was really interesting and the owners were really friendly.

What a pleasant surprise. This was a very nice spacious room. It was quiet and clean. Food was good and the service was very good as well. Only complication was checking in on Monday-we were not aware they wouldn’t be open until 5.

Clean and comfortable room. Nice food but had to eat early as restaurant sold out. Delicious breakfast, pleasant staff. Bed was too soft for my liking. Plenty of parking. Quaint town.

Good location. Good breakfast. You can smell the kitchen extractor in Room 4 which isn't so nice.
