The Rugglestone Inn is a unique, un spoilt Dartmoor inn delightfully located in the picturesque village of Widecombe in the Moor.
Originally a cottage the grade II listed building was converted to an inn back in 1832 and named after a local logan stone. It is surrounded by peaceful moorland, adjacent to a pretty stream and just a few minutes walk from the centre of the village.
Inside, there is a cosy bar with a wood burner and two further rooms, one of which has an open log fire, together creating a wonderful ‘home from home’ atmosphere. Outside is a large sheltered garden with picnic tables accessible via a small bridge over a delightful moorland stream and from where you can enjoy fabulous views. Children and dogs are welcome but we ask that dogs be kept on a lead.
Our home cooked menu of locally sourced produce from suppliers such as Dartmoor Farmers Association, Gribbles Meat & Game and Hawkridge Dairy is extensive and offers a broad range for all tastes. Examples might include filled jacket potatoes from £5.50 and fresh fish and meat dishes from £10.50
Our bar is well stocked with real ales, farm cider and a comprehensive wine list. The real ales are served straight from the barrel and include different guest beers mainly from the southwest.

Sadly didn't get round to ordering the food as we were met with a very rude response by the lady behind the bar - it was a busy Sunday (I understand that's can be a stressful time) I'd just ordered drinks when I'd thought we'd been given the wrong order - I politely tried to clarify which drinks we'd been given and I was met with a hostile response. My partner then stated that the outdoor covered seating had been taken and she was met with "what do you mean there's no outdoor seating!" We decided to leave after this response. Big shame as we've previously eaten here and had a good experience. Kindness can go a long way.
Fantastic little pub tucked on the edge of Dartmoor. Very cosy and quintessential, exactly what you want after a wet walk on the moors with some friends. We were a tad early for food but the two lovely ladies behind the bar served us drinks and sorted a table before taking our order to have it ready as soon as service was on. 5 awesome Beef and Ale pies led to 5 clean plates, washed down with a great selection of local beer. Hard to beat it for a Sunday activity. Can’t wait to go again!
Lovely beer garden and quite good food but the friendliness of the bar staff is shockingly absent, totally indifferent. having tried to engage in idle chitchat, several times over two visits, while the beer is being poured has resulted in next to no response which is quite unusual in any pub let alone such a country pub as this, but we'll still go there for the garden as we live relatively local.
We've always loved coming to this place since we discovered it in 2008. The food is brilliant, especially the steak and Stilton pie. Portions are perfect on all the food we've had. The beer is also great and local. Best place for eating and drinking for us, as most places we used before seem to have dropped their standards, cutting their costs but increasing prices with add on charges.
Came here for an evening on a recommendation. Lovely pub with a big garden. We ate inside and had a super home cooked meal. Some very fine ales as well and very knowledgeable bar staff who knew their beers well. Very friendly gem of a pub
