A warm welcome awaits.

The Cotley Inn is a country pub with rooms in the heart of the Blackdown Hills, where seasonal cooking, comfortable stays and a warm, genuine welcome come together in a setting that feels both special and relaxed.

Just down the road, our sister pub, The Candlelight, shares the same passion for great food, good company and friendly hospitality, whether you’re joining us for a long lunch, a celebration, an overnight stay or simply a quiet pint.

Our pubs, bottled

Proper pubs deserve a proper ale, so we're delighted to have teamed up with Teignworthy Brewery to create our own bottled beers for The Cotley & The Candlelight.

 It's a light bronze ale at 4.3%, full of Golding hops, with a floral, fruity aroma and finish. Available at both pubs at three bottles for £15, they're a little taste of the pub to take home for Christmas, or to wrap up alongside one of our gift vouchers.

 Drop in and see us to buy yours.
