Set in a 14th century building, The Rising Sun offers traditional country inn accommodation in the North Devon village of Umberleigh. The Rising Sun features seven rooms, a mix of double and single occupancies. All rooms feature flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee making facilities – including a selection of luxury biscuits – as well as central heating. Dogs are welcome in most rooms. This inn offers free on-site parking and boasts a sun terrace as well as open log fires. Well-behaved dogs are also welcome in the property’s bar area. A cooked breakfast is included in the room rate, but the on-site restaurant serves up traditional Sunday lunches as well as hearty pub grub. This property is located just two minutes’ walk from Umberleigh rail station and is well-situated for those who wish to explore the coast and country of Devon.
This inn has recently changed hands and it seems that, in contrast to past guest experiences, things are improving here. Overall, visitors and locals alike have found that the owners are committed to offering friendly, warm service in a historic atmosphere. Little touches like theme and open mic nights help to add a bit of flair to this little country pub.
Guests were delighted to find that their four-legged friends are warmly welcomed here, sometimes even given a little treat for good behaviour. This is something that only adds to the overall charm of the atmosphere, a nice little touch that really helps to enhance the quality of the guest experience at this property.
The staff here are friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to dispense local travel tips and chat with guests. Locals in particular have been quick to note that this is a real contrast to the brusque, almost surly service for which this pub was formerly noted.
Recent past guests have reported problems with both the heating and hot water in their rooms. Despite the efforts of staff, these issues were unable to be swiftly resolved and unfortunately, this did have an impact on the stay of a number of guests.
While the staff here are friendly and helpful, it appears that there are some kinks to work out in terms of the quality of service in the pub's restaurant. Multiple guests report waiting a very long time between courses and there are also reports of consistently bungled food and drink orders.
The overall quality of food here is solid, but vegetarian guests have found that suitable menu offerings are disappointingly limited.
