My goodness, tenrec and answerprancer, I just looked on the ODG web site and see that a family with the name Walmsley have had the place since 1983. I have sent them an e-mail to see if they are related to Bryony and, if so, to pass on my best and my e-mail!

Thanks for the possible re-hook up, we shall see.

ok, so its actually at Doddiscombsleigh!!

Nobody Inn at Doddiscoombeleigh - used to be a brilliant inn and I spent the second night of my honeymoon there.....

great food, a wine list 10 inches thick and probably close to 100 whiskeys and just trying to remember mein host - they had the Georgian house nearby for b and b though I have always stayed in the Inn. They sold the business, even though their daughter was still working in the Inn. Last time it was ok but not as good as it used to be.

Good luck DT - the ODG is one of my favourite pubs in the whole of the UK, that would be a nice link. I have a few pics of the big yellow Sea King in the carpark after it dropped off several bedraggled walkers one rainy day my friend Pete and I called off a big walk. It was the longest time I think I ever spent in a pub - the weather was cr@p!

have you been to the Oxenham Arms at South Zeals, ratter....good food there and a lovely old pub - Charles Dickens was holed up there with snow on Dartmoor for two weeks writing A Tale of two Cities....might stop there this coming w/end as I am going up to the Abingdon area in Oxfordshire.

There used to be a pub called the Black Lion and French Horn not far from where I work.

A pub near to where I live is called The Howley - what's a Howley ??

[Answerprancer]

I thought a "howley" was a Hawaiian's derogatory term for a white person.

I've always wanted to take a first date their, just so I can tell her I'm taking her up the hoop on our first date.
