The Abbey Inn
The Abbey Inn isn't just a pub; it's a true escape from the everyday. This charming retreat is beautifully situated on the banks of the River Dart, offering a peaceful haven where the gentle sound of the flowing water is a constant companion. As you approach, you'll feel completely immersed in nature, surrounded by the lush green of Dartmoor's ancient trees.
Inside, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff. With a fantastic selection of traditional drinks on tap, including a crisp Devon Red cider and a rich Abbey's Best Ale, there's a perfect pint for every taste. We took our drinks outside and settled into a perfect spot by the river, completely surrounded by the serene scenery, where you can simply relax and watch the world go by.
