Set at the end of a tranquil tidal creek on the Salcombe estuary, the Millbrook Inn is a hidden haven for those who enjoy good food, great wine and a pint of local ale.

The Millbrook Inn has a long-standing reputation as one of Devon's best gastro pubs. We take great care to source the finest local ingredients from land and sea, including from our own farm, and we prepare them simply and with love.

Our home - the idyllic village of South Pool – is easy to reach from Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Totnes. When the tide is right, it’s only a short boat trip from Salcombe.

Whether by our homely fire or our babbling brook, we look forward to welcoming you to the Millbrook Inn very soon.

We had a fantastic experience at the Millbrook on a return visit. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about their dishes, as well as being really polite and friendly. The food was excellent as always. Can highly recommend all round. Thank you to the Millbrook for a lovely evening.

Disappointing. Very favourable reviews and publicity but we found the food very disappointing. Charcuterie starter was good but mainly course of hoggett was quite tough and very fatty. Vegetables were good. Chocolate tart dessert was good but Panna cotta was tasteless and firm. We said to the waitress it was inedible but received no apology or offer of replacement. We asked if the chef had been told and we were informed to hat "there was something wrong with the fridge"! The cost of the pudding was included on our bill until we complained. Lovely setting but we wouldn't go back.

Stunning location and interiors but the service level seems to have dropped dramatically over the last year perhaps due to staff changes. Whilst meat eaters are catered for, vegetarians have limited options during the evening service. Prices are high and were justified in the past due to the overall experience but not now, at least on the evening we visited. The top floor restaurant lacks the atmosphere of the downstairs pub and staff struggled to serve, forgetting drinks and starters.

Beautiful building & v welcoming. Feels like it could do with more of a bar area to create a pub like atmosphere with more locals in there
