We have just eaten a wonderful meal at the Ring of Bells North Bovey - It was a special menu for Christmas and very reasonable. The food and attention to detail were second to none and the wine was excellent and very reasonably priced. Thanks to Nancy and all the girls and a great big thank you to Andy the... More

We arrived at this pub on a wet windy foul day, made a big mistake trying to find it in the darkness driving down one track roads!! But it was all worth it when we arrived. As we opened the door on this lovely village pub we were sucked in by the warmth and atmosphere. The staff and locals all... More

The Ring of Bells is indeed a hidden gem in the midsts of Dartmoor and is exactly how a country pub with rooms should be. From its first appearance with thatched roof to the cosy interiors complete with log burner and the warmest of welcomes from all the staff. We stayed in room 1 accessed by a winding staircase which... More

By wife and I had dinner b&b here at the end of September. Overall we both thought it excellent value for money and would definitely recommend for a stop over. North Bovey is a tiny village on the edge of Dartmoor, approached by narrow lanes with high hedges. The ROB occupies a snug position in the centre of town. Parking... More

We paid a visit for lunchtime 20/Sept 2011, we were very pleased with the quality and portion sizes of our meals, it is certainly true the pricing we felt a little high. The quality cannot be denied we certainly will be calling by again. It is always advisable to seek value for monies, via the staff who could not have... More

Firstly this is a B&B in a pub, so don't expect Claridges but that's about the closest you can get to negative to this picture postcard B&B. Lets look at the evidence: The location: quite difficult to find without a sat-nav but set in the rolling hills of Dartmoor, just about as beautiful a setting as it gets. The building:... More

Spent one night in this thatched inn and the food was lovely. We had a mix up about the time we were supposed to have dinner and were told 7.15pm. However it turned out we were late and were told they would just have to fit us in around everyone else. I thought this was unfriendly and terse. However the... More

Really difficult to find, and navigate a 4x4 down the single track lanes... but once there, the food is stunning. All freshly cooked and enormous portions. Ranges from open sandwiches to tempura battered pork, bangers & mash,mussels & chips & huge prawn & caesar salads. Kids had fish & chips- both cooked to perfection. The desserts were fantastic... the gooseberry... More

We are a group of friends aged 55 - 70 who travel around England every summer, lokking for quaint pubs in "real" villages. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed. We had four different rooms, all individually furnished to a high standard. Room 1 was just amazing - the largest guestroom I have ever had in... More
