A Great find, Well presented accommodation and restaurant, Quality throughout, Friendly staff, good local food, all in a pleasant country village setting.
Great atmosphere and the pub and rooms were beautifully decorated. Food was amazing and the portions were big. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back.
The Ley Arms is a beautiful place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering a trip to the Exeter area. The staff were exceptional and we were made to feel welcome when we arrive in the late evening
Very comfortable 2 night stay, lovely room and en-suite.
Great breakfast. We also had two delicious evening meals.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Lovely country pub with very high standard accommodation well positioned outside Exeter. Food and service excellent- the only shame was that I was there on a Monday evening so quite quiet but would definitely return when in the area
Fabulous stay vey friendly and warm welcome
Busy Friday with great atmosphere
Great Friday Steak night
Martin the owner very friendly and we will be booking again
Could not fault anything. Room, restaurant, food, all top quality and taste. Staff are friendly and attentive. Very rarely give 5 stars but would feel very mean not to.
It was excellent apart from the evening meal and cooked option at breakfast. My wife had the fish and chips, the batter was soggy. The cooked breakfast items were not up to our expectations, poor quality.
I really like the people that run it ...you can have a laugh and a joke and their professional.
I love the quirky old fashioned styling but it's done in a modern way.
The menu seemed basic but the quality of the food was fantastic everybody should try the prawns starter !!!
Two dislikes
Coffee machine in room too small difficult to use.
The noise of extractor fans outside the windows was a constant drone but okay if you're used to noise and not from the quiet countryside.
I'm definitely going to visit again and I still give it a 9 /10
