Mo and Clive Walker and their team welcome you to their attractive Grade II listed Devon Inn with rooms. Dating back to the late 18th Century, with possibly an earlier core it features oak beamed ceilings and slate floors, good food, real ales, local ciders and wines, a cobbled courtyard - where once the farrier and wheelwright plied his trade - and beautiful walled beer garden. Prior to its acquisition in 2007 the Inn was known as the Agricultural Inn.

It is situated in the beautiful, tranquil village of Brampford Speke with its reed thatched cottages just off the Exe Valley Way and the Devonshire Heartland Way, a few hundred yards from many glorious walks along the banks of the River Exe with its' kingfishers, swifts, swallows, sand martins, swans, geese, ducks, cormorants and much more wildlife.

Here good food - all prepared from scratch in our kitchen - from local and regional suppliers some dishes using our own vegetables, fruit and herbs in season from our holding plus our own lamb and mutton in Autumn - well kept real ales from Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset breweries plus wines from Yearlstone Vineyard in the Exe Valley, the Sharpham Partnership at Totnes and Camel Valley vineyard in Cornwall.

We offer a warm and friendly welcome and your enjoyment is paramount to us. Come and relax, enjoy the open fires (in winter) and the cosy ambience of our lovely village Inn and make it a special occasion by booking one of our individually styled bedrooms for a romantic, candlelit dinner, bed and breakfast break away!

Good award winning food, ales and wines in Devon...

Dogs welcome - on a lead in our beer garden or bar area - please let us know when booking so we can allocate a table for you in the bar.

We now have two dog friendly bedrooms in our Annexe.
