A traditional inn in the Devon village of Dolton, the Rams Head Inn retains its original character with beamed ceilings and an open brick fireplace. Around 16 miles from Barnstaple, it offers home-cooked food and en suite rooms with free parking and WiFi.

Breakfast and dinner were superb - Chef Niko did a brilliant job as the food was delicious and all came on time despite being a larger group. Room was comfortable, spacious and looked great. The young lady that looked after us for the majority of our stay was extremely accommodating and looked after us well.

    This was a 'return' stay having 'discovered' the Rams Head previously. Comfortable and quiet. Good value for money (<GB£ 60, pppn March 2024 for twin/double occupancy). Good selection for breakfast (incl. full' English' !) which is included in the room rate. Dinner was excellent as always.

    The Ram's Head is in a lovely village location, beautifully modernised and presented. The staff are lovely, and helpful. We didn't have dinner as we were there for a friend's surprise party elsewhere but if the breakfast is anything to go by, their other food will be delicious. We look forward to returning there! The fact that they welcome dogs is also great for us.

    We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff. The Rams Head Inn has a very friendly atmosphere in the bar/restaurant and Nico is an excellent chef. The mussels and scallops were superb as was everything we ate during our stay. The location in Dolton was perfect for day trips to North Devon (Bideford), North Cornwall (Bude) and by train to Exeter and Torbay and it was very relaxing after a day out to come back and eat in the bar/restaurant. Many thanks to Nico and his team. We will definitely be coming back!

    Lovely country inn. Room not " Styled" or pretending to.be an upmarket boutique. Comfy bed and good shower. Tes and coffee in room everything I needed for an overnight stopover. Food in pub was top class. Not a long menu but plenty of choice for meat eaters. Veggie menu had just one choice.

    Dinner was excellent on the 2 nights we stayed - not surprising as the owner/chef is Michelin rated ! Our room was comfortable and quiet and the bathroom facilities were good. Breakfast was excellent for me (full English) and my friend enjoyed his porridge ! Friendly, chatty staff and the service was excellent. A beautifully quaint 16/17 century pub/restaurant/B&B in a quiet characterful village in the middle of Devon and their £ rates are very competitive - what more could you want ?!

    A lovely warm welcome, room light and airy, great selection of drinks at the bar and dinner was good value for money and the home made bread was out of this world. Great choice for breakfast and everything was freshly cooked. Overall it was a great stay from start to finish.
