Having provided a warm welcome to weary travellers and locals alike for centuries, the Kings Arms Otterton could probably tell a story or two; steeped in history, the building is thought to date back to the early 1700s. Thanks to its location, the Kings Arms is popular with walkers enjoying footpaths along the River Otter and the stunning local Jurassic coastline, and the much-loved beaches of Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth and Ladram Bay are also close at hand.

Set beside the River Otter in one of Devon’s most beautiful valleys a warm welcome awaits you here at Otterton Mill, our award winning café restaurant and farm shop, artisan bakery, gallery, live music scene all sit alongside our historic working watermill which has something for everyone. Otters, Beavers and a wealth of birdlife are regular visitors and we look forward welcoming you too.
