Great place for a stopover in my motorhome.... large car park conveniently situated near to the M5! Food very good.... I had the fish and chips and service excellent even though it was busy! Will definitely visit again!Posted on Google![]()

I wanted to say a special thank you to everyone at The Blue Ball Inn in Exeter for a wonderful act of kindness a couple of weeks ago. I phoned them after I gave birth at the RD&E requesting a post birth meal, their delicious succulent steak sandwich. Honestly, the best decision I could have made. My parents went to pick it up and the pub made the sandwich complimentary with a lovely congratulations message. The thought was very much appreciated. We will be around soon to thank you in person. A very happy mother and family.Posted on Google![]()

Fantastic experience ahead of the rugby on Saturday. Parking was easy and controlled. Food was cooked well and nice. Service was brilliant. We were so looked after- especially considering the number of guests on the day.Posted on Google![]()

Nothing but praise here! We booked in advance for a motorhome stopover en route to Cornwall. Very spacious pub car park, with grassed areas, some people may need chocks. Felt safe. Fabulous food and attentive, friendly staff. The only negative (perhaps) for us was the hum of the M5 , which was to be expected. Oh and the breakfasts are divine, good value. A well recommended stopover!

Woof! I'm Doris, the official pub dog here at The Blue Ball Inn, and I'm always delighted to welcome well-behaved four-legged friends through our doors. Whether you're stopping by after a countryside stroll or just popping in for a treat and a tummy tickle, you'll find a warm welcome waiting. All I ask is that my furry visitors remember their manners—one woof to say hello is perfectly fine, two might be forgiven... but three woofs, and you're out! After all, everyone deserves to enjoy a peaceful pint, a tasty meal, and a wagging good time.
