Everything was fine apart from the weather

Excellent, just what we had hoped for

Wi fi is very patchy. Booking.com hadn´t updated landlady so we weren´t expected, even though I had paid about 5 days earlier. However, once it was all sorted out, all was well. But as she wasn´t expecting us, the room took a while to heat up - no central heating in a 17th century pub!

Food was excellent ' both the pub meal in the evening and the breakfast. The landlady was very friendly and helpful. The bar staff too. Very comfortable room, nice touches with the toiletries in the bathroom and everything very clean. Quiet and peaceful location. Parking on other side of road, plenty of space and secure.

Location. Comfortable bed. Hot shower and warm towels. Breakfast was very good and one evening meal I stayed in for.

There is no door to toilet - if I would now before I wouldn’t book. There is things which I like to keep in secret from my husband. Low water pressure

Nice building, interesting pub, big car park and spacious room.

Relaxed lovely country pub with a lovely host Would thoroughly recommend a stay here….

We would have liked to have had a shower provided in the otherwise attractive ensuite bathroom.

Location good for our visit to RHS Rosemoor. Excellent host. Main road location was good for access but subject to intermittent traffic noise (expected). We could have had all our meals onsite had we not made other plans. Welcoming.

Could have done with a shower curtsin

The room was lovely and had everything we needed. A little fridge with fresh milk which was lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the linen felt very fresh

Only slight drawback was rather steep stairs to the upper floor (one flight), but this is an old thatched pub, so to be expected ?

Very welcoming hospitality from landlady Becky, who provided an excellent evening meal for us on both nights despite being the only diners and being busy in the bar. Much appreciated.

Beer kegs stacked along route to room.

Very quiet customer-wise, traffic noise low even on adjacent main road.

The only thing we would add is a small table to stand drinks on when sat on the sofa.

We stayed one night at The Malt Scoop, a stopover on the way to visit family and wished we could've stayed longer. A quaint pub and a comfortable room. Tastefully decorated and had everything we needed, a nice touch was the little fridge and fresh milk. We had an evening meal and a few games of pool, then went and relaxed to watch TV, which had a good choice of programmes. The bed was very comfortable, the window opened as it was quite a warm night and the linen was clean and pretty. All in all it was exceptional value for money and we wouldn't hesitate to go back.

The freshly-cooked English breakfast was good; it would have been nice to have had the option of a continental-style breakfast.

Spacious, comfortable, clean bedroom and bathroom

A beautiful old pub in the perfect location for exploring Devon. Our room was lovely - spotlessly clean with a very comfy bed - and breakfast was delicious. Becky the landlady couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly and Devon the dog was the most well behaved gentleman pooch we’ve ever met!

The staff were really friendly and helpful. We stay in lots of hotels, B&Bs and we both agree the staff at the Malt Scoop are our favourite to date.

Friendly staff. Clean comfortable room. Good beer and good breakfast

Bedroom tv on the small size.

Traditional thatched country pub. Cosy bar, spacious bedroom, variety of bathroom products, varied evening meal selection and breakfast. Fresh milk provided in the bedroom mini-fridge. Devon the dog enjoyed being in the company of guests and very well behaved. Can highly recommend.
