Absolutely love this place! We happened upon it and I wish it was as my local. The landlady is so friendly and welcoming, we had a small dog and he was made to feel so welcome. It’s a quiet place that makes you feel like a regular local.
Tonight I had a small Birthday party (6 people) . The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. We asked if we could have a takeaway and eat it with our drinks and were told certainly and they were kind enough to supply plates and cutlery. I have never known a hotel that would be kind enough to allow that. I am a local to Teignmouth but I will now be frequently visiting the Devon Arms Hotel.
The Devon Arms is a traditional English pub, what I would call a "proper pub". It has a loyal local following because of the friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen has recently re-opened offering good, honest pub grub daily including Sunday roasts. It is located in the Arts Quarter of the town a few steps from the Back beach. It has a wheelchair ramp at the front entrance for easy access and the staff are always on hand to help if needed. Well-behaved dogs and children are welcome. One of Teignmouth's best kept secrets is the pretty sun-trap beer garden at the back. The toilets are always clean in my experience and Ian and Jackie pride themselves on running an excellent pub.
Visited the pub. The layout is a bit weird, like cut in half. Other than that everything was great
Have stayed here in the past but not this time around, staff were amazing, traditional bar with original features throughout, great range of drinks, never had no food so can't commit to a comment about that, but overall a great experience and they have a jukebox
Excellent home- cooked food at a very reasonable price. We ordered beef stew, veggie all-day breakfast & bacon sarnie, all very good. Also very clean everywhere INCLUDING THE LAVATORY! Highly recommended.
have popped in for a drink a few times whilst on holiday. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly.
Great pub, and kids can go in until 9pm, and dogs welcome too It's also owned by the mother of a very famous band member
