The Stag Inn, in centre of Rackenford village. Thatched. In front there is a wide projecting wing. On right is a large room, containing an open fire place with the oven door at one side. Two carved settles enclose the hearth. The oak partition between passage and room is of structural panelling. A door leads from this room into the brewhouse with its open fireplace. Good example of the old Devon inn.
