What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Court Farm Inn is lauded for its exceptional food, particularly the Sunday roast and homemade desserts, served in a charming, historic pub atmosphere. The friendly and attentive staff contribute to a welcoming dining experience. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points include food temperature being warm rather than hot, and one instance of undercooked vegetables.
"Myself, my husband and my son came here on 11/07/2024 and had a fantastic meal. We had oxtail croquettes and pork belly bites to start then venison, mussels and t bone steak for mains. So delicious! The staff were also fantastic, very welcoming and saw to our every need. We will definitely be back!"

"Had a very nice Sunday roast here recently. New owners took over about a year ago and not been here since. Can report that the roasts are very very good indeed - I had a beef roast and my partner had the veggie roast. Very friendly staff, dog friendly and you can walk through the countryside from Decoy Park to get to the Court Farm which is a lovely 45 min walk either side. Highly recommend"

"This is an amazing Inn. Beautiful setting, nestled in the village close to thatched cottages and the unusual Church whose tower can be seen from the Inn car park.
The service is excellent, very attentive team and very friendly.
However it is the food here that is worth far more than the maximum 5 stars you are allowed to award.
We have been twice so far, home made steak and ale pie first time, packed with delicious chunks of tender steak and this time I had home cooked ham salad, fantastic!
We’ve booked again for Sunday Lunch, I suspect we are about to be wowed all over again!!
Anyone staying at Dornafield Caravan and Motorhome park, this is a must visit if you are a foodie like us!"

Pub Guide - South Devon CAMRA
The Court Farm Inn was formerly a farmhouse, originally built in the 16th century, and the manorial farm for the Abbots of Horton and then Sherborne. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII it was sold and by 1541 was known as Court Farm. It was extended in 1721 by the Quaker, James Tuckett, according to the plaque above the entrance.
