Amazing location, very quiet and just what I needed after a hard days work. The staff are fantastic, the foods even better. Lots of local drinks available, I was very pleased I chose this location. The room I had was small, but my colleagues was much bigger but that’s the luck of the draw! Overall, I’d highly recommend this location!

The welcome and service we received from all the staff was excellent. The British village pub atmosphere in the bar was great and the beer was first class. The food was also really good with large portions giving excellent value for money. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay at the Thorverton Arms, the hosts were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfast was great and they did amazing pub food in the evenings too. The homemade scampi was the best we’ve ever had anywhere!

A comfortable but not lavish inn in a quiet rural setting with very friendly staff and reasonable food, a stone's throw from a lovely parish church.

Bathroom could use a little TLC but fit for purpose.
Amazing breakfast that more than made up for any minor cosmetic items.
The land-people, actually all of the staff were so welcoming. Definitely worth a visit or night over.

Great stay!
The room was very cosy and clean. The bed was comfy and we both slept really well (in part because it was so quiet too). Massive TV with all streaming services available, tea and coffee making facilities and a powerful electric shower. The room could do with a little bit of touching up and maintenance but this was greatly outweighed by everything mentioned above.
We had a few drinks in the pub both nights we were there and the staff were friendly and helpful. Spacious car park available too.
Overall, really nice stay and would stay again!

Lovely stay close to Exeter
Cosy twin bedroom with an en suite (with a lovely power shower) on top of a quiet pub with great food. I am gluten free and the kitchen were very knowledgeable and keen to accommodate my needs. The gluten free fish and chips were to die for. And the cooked breakfast was very generous.

Thorverton Arms is a very nice pub in a quiet and attractive village. Although it feels as if it is in the middle of the countryside it is convenient for Exeter. There are opportunities for country walks with the millennium green nearby. The pub is clean and the food is good.
