About

The Rams Head Inn, a historic public house in Dolton, Devon, fuses over three centuries of hospitality with contemporary comfort. Nestled along the Tarka Trail, it offers an inviting atmosphere for walkers, cyclists, and local families alike, complete with free parking, Wi‑Fi, and a friendly, wheelchair‑accessible layout. Culinary excellence is at the heart of the inn’s identity. Led by Michelin‑accredited French chef Nicolas Boucher, the restaurant presents a menu that celebrates seasonal, locally sourced produce – from farm‑to‑table dishes to classic French pastries in the on‑site café. With a range of real ales, ciders, and an extensive wine cellar, diners can pair their meals with a curated selection of regional drinks. Beyond dining, the inn welcomes guests to sleep in five beautifully furnished rooms that feature plush beds, ensuite bathrooms, and complimentary tea/coffee. Breakfast is included, offering freshly baked bread and a warm buffet at the bar. The accommodation is pet‑friendly, making it an ideal stop for travellers on the Devon countryside. Whether you’re looking for a hearty lunch, a cosy night out, or a comfortable place to rest your head, the Rams Head Inn delivers a genuinely welcoming experience that reflects the charm of rural Devon.
