Strongers . left this review about Lord Nelson Inn
The Lord Nelson is a small and thin Craft Union pub with a carpeted seating area across the front before a battered shiny wooden topped serving counter that is found mid-way along up the left-hand wall. Some tables and a stone fireplace with glazed tiling sit opposite to the right and at the rear is some raised seating. Standard and premium keg were available alongside Fuller’s London Pride, the Doom Bar was off. There was some dance music playing in the background and the televisions throughout were airing muted sport, which is heavily advertised. There are better pubs a stone’s throw away.

Fairly plain locals pub on the main street in Totnes. It looks good from the outside with its leaded windows but is fairly uninspiring inside. It is a one bar pub , which is long and thin with the top section being dominated by a pool table and small stage area. The front area has two flat screen teles on the wall opposite the bar and as most of the locals sit staring at these you feel like your interrupting someone’s private TV viewing as you enter and make your way up the bar.
Three hand pumps on the bar but only two were in operation during my visit, which were Courage best and Dartmoor Jail ale. The Jail ale was perfectly fine, but I didn’t bother to return during my stay in Totnes as there are far better pubs in the town in my humble opinion..
