The Prince of Wales — also known as the Duke of Cornwall — popped into the charming spot on Oct. 17
Prince William’s visit to Duchy College Stoke Climsland included a stop at a cozy English inn.
On Oct. 17, the Prince of Wales’ team posted a new photo of him along with a little background about the unannounced outing.
“Prince William popped into The Warren House Inn earlier, on beautiful Dartmoor. Legend has it the pub fire has been alight since it was built in 1845!” his team wrote on X with a flames emoji.
The shot showed Prince William, 42, standing and smiling before a glowing fireplace. Chalk menus behind him advertised the soup of the day (sweet potato and chili) and invited guests to “Try a glass of scrumpy” or take a bottle of the cider home.
The historic Warren House Inn is the highest inn in Southern England and offers all a warm welcome, its website says. According to the lore, its central fire has burned continuously since 1845 and the inn is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.

Though Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton support the crown as working royals, not all of their outings are announced in advance, and they’re known to explore the local area when they’re on the road. In May, it emerged that the Prince and Princess of Wales stayed at a charming Airbnb during an official visit to Wales in 2023, and the bed and breakfast said they were lovely guests.
“We were delighted to welcome William and Kate for a night here when they visited The Brecon Beacons,” the Duffryn Mawr Country House wrote in a post on Facebook, along with a shot from their stay. “So kind and friendly, it was a pleasure to have them stay here.”
