The Blue Ball Inn - Sidmouth

This restaurant was perfect for our group! The atmosphere was charming, the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. The staff were all incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it! Service: 5 Location: 5

The cauliflower cheese side was disappointingly small, with a watery sauce that lacked any cheesy flavor. One of my friends ordered the chicken but didn’t enjoy it and ended up leaving half of it on the plate. Throughout our meal, no one checked in to see how we were doing, and the staff appeared indifferent. On a positive note, the desserts were lovely; however, by then the quality of service had already declined. Given the high price of the meal, we were disappointed with both the quality of the food and the service. That said, the interior of the pub was charming, featuring beams and an open fire in a picturesque countryside setting.

The Blue Ball is the perfect place to stay if you're into fishing, shooting, golf, or simply exploring Devon. The owners were fantastic and truly made our stay memorable. All the staff went the extra mile to ensure everything ran smoothly, accommodating us with late meals in the restaurant and early breakfasts. The menu and food quality are exceptional—beautifully presented and delicious. Don’t miss out on the sweets and special desserts; they’re a must-try! The rooms are spacious, well-furnished, and come with comfortable beds and all the necessary tea-making facilities. Staying here will definitely enhance your holiday experience! I highly recommend it. - G. White, Surrey

I stopped overnight with a motorhome in the car park. We had a Sunday lunch in the pub which was a little over cooked. The staff were great and very friendly. Service: 4 Location: 4
