“The picturesque Cott Inn brims with history and charm. One of England's oldest remaining thatched inn's, between the Dartmoor National Park and the spectacular South Devon coastline. The perfect country escape with a snug bar, an excellent restaurant and delightful upstairs rooms.”

Hotel review

Tucked away in the quiet Devonshire village of Cott, is the enchanting Cott Inn. Reputed to have been serving alcohol since the 14th century, it still brims with history and character today. The thatched roof and beautiful surrounding garden give off a quaint atmosphere, matched inside by the cosy traditional pub. With wooden beams and low ceilings, it's the perfect place to settle in and relax for the evening. Enjoy delicious seasonal food from locally sourced producers and craft beers. Upstairs holds up its end of the bargain with delightful, individually decorated rooms. In the summer time, enjoy drinks outside in the inn's lovely flower garden.
