Best country pubs in East Devon

[Tootired1]

Can anyone recommend great country pubs in East Devon preferably with good food or good views? We’d like to avoid places that are overcrowded/overbooked in the main tourist spots. We’re happy to drive out a bit to anywhere that might fit the bill. TIA

The Hare and Hounds between Sidmouth and Honiton has a large garden with amazing views. Classic pub grub, but always good quality.
The food at The Kings Arms in Otterton is special. The terrace is nice on a hot day.
Not strictly a country pub, the River Exe Café has amazing views.

Thank you for your recommendations. It’s good to have an idea of nice places to try.
