Reviews
Fantastic little pub tucked on the edge of Dartmoor. Very cosy and quintessential, exactly what you want after a wet walk on the moors with some friends. We were a tad early for food but the two lovely ladies behind the bar served us drinks and sorted a table before taking our order to have it ready as soon as service was on.
5 awesome Beef and Ale pies led to 5 clean plates, washed down with a great selection of local beer. Hard to beat it for a Sunday activity.
Can’t wait to go again!
We've always loved coming to this place since we discovered it in 2008. The food is brilliant, especially the steak and Stilton pie. Portions are perfect on all the food we've had. The beer is also great and local. Best place for eating and drinking for us, as most places we used before seem to have dropped their standards, cutting their costs but increasing prices with add on charges.
Sadly didn't get round to ordering the food as we were met with a very rude response by the lady behind the bar - it was a busy Sunday (I understand that's can be a stressful time) I'd just ordered drinks when I'd thought we'd been given the wrong order - I politely tried to clarify which drinks we'd been given and I was met with a hostile response. My partner then stated that the outdoor covered seating had been taken and she was met with "what do you mean there's no outdoor seating!" We decided to leave after this response. Big shame as we've previously eaten here and had a good experience. Kindness can go a long way.
Lovely beer garden and quite good food but the friendliness of the bar staff is shockingly absent, totally indifferent. having tried to engage in idle chitchat, several times over two visits, while the beer is being poured has resulted in next to no response which is quite unusual in any pub let alone such a country pub as this, but we'll still go there for the garden as we live relatively local.
Came here for an evening on a recommendation. Lovely pub with a big garden. We ate inside and had a super home cooked meal. Some very fine ales as well and very knowledgeable bar staff who knew their beers well. Very friendly gem of a pub
We had an evening meal here which was very nice. The Inn is down a small road in Widecombe but is easy to find. This is a nice old stone building which includes a small but snug bar as well as the restaurant area. The furniture and decor is simple. We had a main course and dessert which were very nice. The staff were very pleasant. There is a car park across the road, which is free for a change. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice evening meal. Booking ahead is a good idea.
Read a great review of this Inn and popped in on a motorcycle ride out across the moor, was not disappointed ,nice friendly service, great food at a very reasonable price. A lovely old moorland pub in a fantastic part of the county, will definitely return.
Popped in for lunch with family. Glorious location, great food and good service. If you get to stay here, you're very lucky.
Perfect location after walking for 2hrs with the dog's a tucked away pub,dog friendly, outside covered seating and great service.The food was excellent and good portions...Thank you Rugglestone we will be back 😀 …
The Rugglestone Inn is a hidden gem and was one of the highlights of my camping trip.
There is no WiFi available, but the locals and staff make you feel welcome to …
