Ian Mapp left this review about Compasses Inn

You've really got to want to get there. Single track roads, grass growing up the middle and a number of blind bends greet you from the main road. But it is worth it. A number of benches outside and inside the thatched cottages, its low ceilings and a very traditional farm house feel.

Everyone is here for food - with good home made produce. Two ales on - Butcombe and a never seen before Doonicans from Nuttycombe brewery.

Opens at 6pm on midweek evenings.

A quaint village pub in a thatched cottage with 13thCentury roots. It's reached down a series of narrow country lanes, but is nonetheless popular and if you want to eat, you probably need to book beforehand. There is a lawned seating area and a few benches by the door at the front, and there is a muddy, rutted carpark opposite which is problematic for low-slung sports cars in places. At the back is a lager lawned garden, part of which is currently under a large marquee and has been floored with gravel. Inside, there is a single bar which is made from 2 knocked-through rooms. The floor is irregular, stone one side, carpeted the other. There is an inglenook fireplace, plenty of structural timbers on display, and a low ceiling - all very atmospheric and cosy. Food is pub grub plus, not cheap but priced about right for the area and good quality - I had freshly cooked fish and chips, which was well presented and thoroughly enjoyable. Ales on were Otter Amber, Keystone and Butcombe; my pint of Otter was in excellent condition. They also do B&B. A superb village pub which, if it weren't so remote, I'd visit more often.
