    Nothing.

    Loved everything about the inn. Was soaked in history, when you walk through the hallway they have clip boards up with walks on there with all the information needed. Our room was cosy, had lots of storage, bathroom was great too. The pub had great selection of drink and the food was delicious. We used the pool table and darts as well.

    Fantastic friendly staff, lovley location, fantastic with our Pooch frank, Breakfast included, food was bang on we both enjoyed a 3 course meal. Wine selection was fantastic, 2 log fires & a games room where we played scrabble after dinner. Could not fault it.

    The only thing that was the least bit difficult was the narrow staircase leading up to the rooms. The staff offered to help us with our luggage so that really wasn't an issue.

    Charming Inn with great history. Location is excellent for access to walking paths and close enough to Lynmouth and Lynton without being in town. The rooms were so comfortable and the bathroom was very modern. It was SO quiet at night yet there was a lively bar with pool table and games if you desire. Breakfast was provided and very ample for a day of sightseeing or trekking.

    It’s clean and homely and very dog friendly. The bar and restaurant were lovely and the included breakfast was brilliant! The staff were really friendly and loved to fuss our Chihuahua! The rooms have the old cottage feel but clean and modern, especially the bathroom. The location is perfect as you can walk to Watersmeet under a mile away and also the Exmouth open deck coaster bus stops right outside the Inn, which can take you to nearby towns. It was an amazing stay

    I'm never sure how I feel about dogs when I'm eating food. Not the fault of pub more the owners of the dogs.

    Plenty of parking opposite, staff very helpful and friendly, has a lovely feel,food was excellent. Room was lovely,would definitely stop here again.

    I have so many good things to say about Blue Ball. The house, the food, the location- every morning a delicious breakfast, easy bus or walk the coast path into Lynmouth… afternoons spent walking the hillside around the Inn, spectacular sunsets from the hill. Ponies! It really couldn’t have been better. I love the dog friendly atmosphere and the charm of the house!
