The Pub

The Blue Ball stands in a prominent roadside location on the busy A3052 which runs along the East Devon coastline. With great curb appeal it is the epitome of a quintessential Devon pub and is guaranteed to entice passers-by. The Blue Ball dates back hundreds of years but was completely rebuilt in 2007 following a disastrous fire. It was reconstructed with much regard to its original character and so its open fires, quirky wall finishes, traditional beams and snug areas maintain the pubs original charm perfectly.

Did we mention that the Blue Ball also boats a large function room, 8 en suite guest rooms, a stunning wrap around beer garden and a car park for 100 vehicles? This is a truly multi-facetted business that together with a great team and enthusiasm to engage with both locals and tourists will be an epic pub for years to come.

There is plenty on offer within just a short drive of the pub. The Regency town of Sidmouth with plenty of heritage and beaches, the county town of Exeter, the delights of Beer. This seaside pub is a magnet for locals and tourists alike all looking for a home from home experience.
