THE CRIDFORD INN

Stay and Dine with us nestled in the heart of Trusham, Devon

WELCOME TO THE CRIDFORD INN
POSSIBLY THE OLDEST…CERTAINLY THE MOST CHARMING!

The oldest pub/inn in Devon and possibly the oldest in England dates back to 825AD.

It had previously served as a nunnery and a farm, being originally inhabited by the early Britons/Celts, before the building was remodelled in 1081. In 1086 it was one of the nine small holdings mentioned in the “Domesday Book” and by then belonged to the Abbey of Buckfast in the Manor of Trusham – a small village that’s nestled in the Teign Valley between Chudleigh, Newton Abbot and Exeter.

With cob walls, a thatched roof and inglenook fireplaces, this traditional Devon Longhouse is approached by passing over a babbling brook, guarded by Willy Catchum and his faithful girl Teresa Green. Why not throw a coin in the lucky wishing well?

This is a quintessential and quietly lovely English country Inn, offering the best locally sourced produce and interesting meals – from traditional pub food to unmissable experiences, all prepared by skilled chefs who care passionately about food.

Trusham is located on the western side of the Haldon Hills, above the river Teign, which forms the Dartmoor National Park boundary and is just over half a mile away. The village is accessed via minor roads which are predominately single-track with passing places. The A38 passes within 2 miles at Chudleigh. The centre of the village has the O S grid reference SX 854 821 and for sat nav users the postcode is TQ13 0NW.

NOTE: Please see the booking section for days and months available.
