Teignmouth Inn

The Teignmouth Inn sits on Brookdale Terrace in Dawlish, a traditional community pub built around sport, games and a regular local crowd rather than food or drink as a destination in themselves. There's a big screen for Sky Sports that pulls in a proper matchday crowd, plus a pool table and darts board for the quieter nights, and Friday karaoke has become a fixture reviewers mention as often as the beer itself.

It also offers accommodation, with rooms reviewers describe as comfortable and clean - useful for anyone visiting Dawlish rather than just passing through for a drink. Reviews are mixed rather than uniformly glowing: many visitors praise the friendly staff and low prices, though a handful flag slow service or an off smell on entry, so it's the kind of pub that rewards going with regulars' recommendation rather than turning up cold.
