Devons smallest pub
Right On Your Doorstep
Your holiday cottage comes with its own pub!
Welcome to The Gropers Arms, Devon’s smallest pub, exclusively for Compton Pool guests. Small in size but enormous in character, with Guinness on tap, local beers and Devon ciders, frozen cocktails, a speciality shots menu and an astonishing collection of over 100 spirits and liqueurs.
Step outside into our beautiful countryside biergarten, with plenty of seating, oversized games and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. And when the griddle fires up, our freshly smashed burgers make holiday evenings even better.
No taxis. No designated drivers. Just great drinks, delicious burgers and a short stroll back to your cottage.
Small pub. Big personality. Brilliant holiday evenings.
Alpacas With Attitude!
Meet Snoop, Ice, Tupac and Biggie – Compton Pool’s very own Alpacas With Attitude!
Our four resident alpacas are full of personality, and you’ll find them in their paddock beside the main driveway, ready to welcome you to Compton Pool.
Fancy getting closer? Ask us about our personal hand-feeding sessions, where guests can meet these curious characters face to face.
We’re also planning to bring back our guided alpaca walks through the beautiful Willow Carr Wetland Meadow, a peaceful haven for wildlife.
Four alpacas. Four personalities. A whole lot of attitude!
Dog-Friendly Holidays.
Happy Tails & Muddy Paws!
At Compton Pool, dogs aren’t just allowed – they’re part of the holiday! Six of our cottages welcome four-legged guests, with thoughtful doggy extras to help them settle straight in.
Let them run free in our 1.5-acre secure dog field, explore the beautiful two-acre Willow Carr meadow and enjoy peaceful walks around our three fishing lakes.
Beyond our gates, South Devon is a dog’s paradise. Discover beautiful beaches, winding countryside trails, Dartmoor adventures and welcoming country pubs – all waiting to be explored together.
Muddy paws. Wagging tails. Wonderful holidays.
Willow Carr. Where
The Wild Things Are
A little wilderness, right on your doorstep.
Discover Willow Carr, our beautiful two-acre wetland meadow and wildlife haven, where nature is left to flourish and every visit offers something different.
With over 50 species of birds recorded around Compton Pool, you might spot a kingfisher flashing across the water, a heron patiently fishing, or even a young deer quietly exploring the meadow.
Wander beside our three fishing lakes, listen to the birdsong and enjoy a peaceful corner of South Devon where wildlife takes centre stage.
No crowds. No rush. Just nature doing its thing.
