The Village Inn

About

The Village Inn is a quintessential Devon pub that blends historic charm with modern comfort. Set on the grounds of the Thurlestone Hotel in the picturesque village of Thurlestone, its timber beams—hand‑picked from a wrecked ship of the Spanish Armada—give the interior a warm, storied ambience that feels like a step back in time. Guests are welcomed by a relaxed, dog‑friendly environment with both indoor cosy seating by the fire and outdoor tables overlooking the gentle tide of the South West coast. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a classic pint of real ale, a hearty lunch beneath clear blue skies, or a leisurely Sunday roast, the restaurant offers reliable menus and a welcoming atmosphere for families, couples or solo travellers. With a full menu that includes a special children’s menu and a dedicated bar that opens from noon until midnight each weekday, The Village Inn remains open on all days—from 12:00 to 22:30—providing plenty of time to relax, enjoy local produce and soak up the seaside drive. It is a favourite stop‑off for walkers on the South West Coastway Way and a perfect spot for neighbours and visitors alike to slow down and savor good food, great drink and friendly service.
