Just to note I've not stayed here, was just passing and stopped for Lunch on the way back from the moors camping. What an amazing pub though, a real labour of love and completely original, every corner is stuffed full of strange objects and it's like a small maze to walk around. Food wise had a Lamb, Chorizo and Chick... More

The first time we were taken to the Highwayman by friends is over 30 years ago and was owned by Sally's parents Rita and Buster. My first impression (and they are still today) was amazement! You have to see this pub to believe it , pictures do not give you the the whole story. To the previous owners it was... More

After a morning walk around a reservoir on Dartmoor we decided to find somewhere for a drink. The Highwayman had been mentioned as "one to see". The website showed they closed at 2pm so I rang them and Bruce said he'd be happy to stay open for us. When we arrived, he greeted us with "Are you the lady that... More

We stayed at the Highwayman, Sourton in the Victoria Room for one night over Easter (wish we had stayed longer). The pub is fantastic, really unique, you will never see anything else quite like it! The room was lovely with a four poster bed and so comfortable and spotlessly clean, overlooking the fields. The owners were really friendly and the... More

Sally and Bruce, with the initial impetus from Sally's dad, Buster, who got the ball rolling, have created an adult paradise full of fascinating Dartmoor. It is a spiritual, fascinating place full of character, folklore and wonder. In the main bar, there are so many inglenooks and hidey holes, it is just amazing. I have been there several times, and...

Went to a party here at the weekend. The place is amazing. So much to look at and so much character. The whole building is like a time capsule and gives you hours of fun looking around. Fab wish tree to make a wish on and lots of amazing artifacts lying about. You need to have a good look around... More

the girlfriend and I stayed here for a couple of nights back in october 2011. The inn itself is worth a visit just to nose around and sample the local scrumpy they sell. Lots of knick knacks hanging around and if you go to the website and view some of the pictures then you get a sense of what to... More

Our friends found this place the day before, theycould not wait to take us there today. It really is fascinating. From the moment you walk through the doors of the "coach" you realise you are entering a fantasy world that could capture you for hours. My Pedigree beer was very good and the wife enjoyed her fizzy cider.We did not... More

despite being very interested in the Inn, the place was layered in filth and stank of urine throughout. I am not one to leave a review of places (this is my first) but had heard such wonderul things about this Inn, I felt compelled to leave a review. I went in with my husband to look around and order a... More

This review is quite damaging and as you can see by the other reviews it is very incongruous. I think it is unfair to leave it on this site. We got 5/5 for our food hygiene rating and have never ever had any cleanliness issues at our inn. We have had it as a family since 1958 and work in... More

this place is unreal- its just utterly amazing from the minute you walk up to the front door to the minute you leave and go past the little mice in their home outside. Please this is a must go visit, I cant wait to go back and stay in one of the four poster bedrooms on my next visit. It... More
