The Waterman's Arms

This was an unexpectedly solo trip for me (a friend couldn't make it), and I decided to go on anyway. I am so glad I did. It has been an amazing experience. The venue and it's setting in its location at Bow Bridge are stunning, and you really don't want anything else for the whole time you're there. I will visit again, it was beautiful there, staff were lovely and room really nicely appointed.

The staff were exceptionnally helpful and polite. We ate breakfast every day and dinner on 3 evenings and the food was fresh, well prepared and very tasty. The location was the final bonus: secluded and next to a running stream. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Watermans Arms. Thankyou to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.👍👍

This was an absolutely gorgeous 17th century Inn, which just oozed character. The location of The Watermans Arms was to die for as well. it really is a beautiful location on the edge of The River Dart, which actually flows opposite it. From the minute we walked in to the minute we left, the staff were so welcoming and friendly! There was nothing they wouldn’t do for us. My wife and I came down for 4 nights forNew Years with our 2 dogs and we felt like we were part of the family every time we walked in. Breakfast was always a brilliant start to every day. it was delicious. There was a good variety as well. A lovely cooked breakfast or a continental breakfast for those looking for something lighter. Food on the evening menu was simple, honest home cooked food which myself and my wife love. made with love and care and we thought it was delicious. The location is 20 minutes from a variety of walks and activities that are ideal for those with dogs. We were able to spend our days walking the costal paths with our dogs allowing them to swim in the sea, run around in the woods, the fields or parks. We are even able to meet some seals during our day trips walking to the various costal coves. After long days out, it was always wonderful to come back and feel like we were coming back home. Simply wonderful and we will definitely be coming back 😃

This was my third time staying at this very special country pub. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. My room was spacious, clean, warm and comfortable, which was ideal for me as I was on a writing retreat. A great breakfast is included and other meals were tasty. The location is wonderfully peaceful, with the lovely River Harbourne and Bow Bridge just outside the main entrance to the pub. I would highly recommend the Waterman's Arms if you like a rural setting and enjoy friendly service and comfort.

You can't beat the Watermans Arms. Beautiful riverside location, nice beer and food, and a warm welcome. Evening drinks by the river in the warm weather is a must do. Fantastic breakfast as well. One of our favourite haunts.
