We returned to the Spyway Inn this year. It is an excellent place to visit, with well appointed rooms with fabulous views. We are intending to eat our way through the menu(!) as the food is of an excellent standard, locally sourced and home-cooked. The owners are really friendly, cheerful and helpful. It is a lovely, peaceful place to stay.

Found this wonderful inn whist travelling to Axminster. A very friendly welcome and the food was really delicious. Nothing was too much trouble as we wanted some changes and additions to the meals. It has a beautiful view from the garden too. Well worth another visit - a real find.

We visited this pub twice during our stay nearby - both times for lunch - once a family Sunday meal and secondly a light lunch after a long and stunning walk in the area. The welcome each time was very warm and homely and the food very good - I've never eaten such a good steak and cheese pie before!... More

The breakfasts were excellent and no further food was required all day, until we returned... More

If you get the chance to visit The Spyway don't miss out, the hospitality is second to none, the food is excellent and the venue is perfect. Start with a drink in the cozy bar, then enjoy the traditional pub atmosphere. Well done Tim & Co.!

Tim and Chris made us feel very welcome and that nothing was too much trouble. The room was pretty good value, clean and well equipped. We chose to eat in house both nights of our stay and were not disappointed. Breakfast was also very good. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and the Spyway Inn is a great spot for access... More
