더 록퍼드 인(The Rockford Inn)

Brilliant place for some well earned food and drink before hiking back to waters meet. Lovely chips, cosy log fire and welcoming landlord. Can’t speak for the accommodation but have been in twice for food during our walks. Happy to accept a saturated Labrador pup inside too!

This pub is beautifully remote. The food is always great and the people working there are so lovely. I introduced this place to friends and they love it too! Fabulous place to stay. The river at the front is stunning and a walk along it to Watersmeet should always be done.....whatever the weather

Had a couple of days here over a weekend and found the pub cosy and comfortable. Really nice welcome from the couple managing the pub and the food and beer was good, (especially the full English breakfast). One thing, the river across the road was quite noisy but not surprising really, as the good old Devonshire weather lived up to its name, it poured down most of the weekend causing the river to be like a torrent. Thank you for looking after the wife and I so well, would definitely stay here again

Stella, Paul, Tom and even Tim (you will understand when you stay..) are wonderful. They are kind, attentive and provide a super experience. The food and ambiance inspired go some way to matching the extraordinary location. I urge you to ensure you can spend a few days.

Lovely room nice and clean but unfortunately not happy after day out to come back to still dirty cups from morning coffee glasses from previous night still there and bins not emptied Nice breakfast Nice fluffy towels Landlady very nice and friendly

Cosy country Real inn with lots of local beers ales and ciders Anyone walking to watersmeet from Lynton/lynmouth ought to go the extra mile and a half through the woods to Rockford And once there - visit the inn For a refreshing ale or stay for a few and a night in the hotel ;)

This place is in the middle of nature on a small road and we couldn't ask for more. The room was the perfect size, the bed an shower were great. The best part, however, was the people and the food. The pub was very active every night. The taps were stocked with local brews. The patrons were friendly, and the food was top-notch! Best of all, Paul, our host, was friendly, outgoing, and gave us very helpful guidance. I wish we would have stayed longer. It's close to numerous walking trails, a beautiful river, a short drive to Lynton, Porlock & Porlock Weir, and an absolutely beautiful 2 hour drive from Tintagel. Caveat: I'll say the same thing I said for another place much like this in Scotland: if you're looking for someplace close to a city or historic site, this isn't for you (though stopping by for the surroundings, the food, and the pub definitely is!).

Beautiful location. Had high expectations based on reviews. However exceedingly disappointed in the quality of the evening meals. Expensive small and tasteless steak, fried fish covered in too much slightly undercooked batter with watery tasteless fish. The next evening's meal also not a good experience. On a positive note the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was good.

I really enjoyed my stay in this 17th century inn nestled deep in a wooded valley next to the river East Lyn in Exmoor. The hosts Paul and Stella were very welcoming and warm, and the bar man/waiter did an excellent job too. I loved the pub food, which was hearty and very well cooked. The local real ales were a treat too. The location is perfect for hiking, with great walks up and down the river, to the coast and Lynmouth straight from the front door. The pub has a wonderful warm, cosy guest room to relax in afterwards with a pint. In fact the whole hotel including my room was warm and comfortable, so peaceful too, with just the sound of the river at night. Highly recommended if you like traditional English food, beer and accommodation.
