The Exeter Inn ★★★★

"Had a wander down here while staying in Bampton. It didn't have much to offer for the length of the walk, so we sadly didn't return. The barman was lovely and served us well, but then all we could hear was him complaining about his job to other customers, which let him down. Maybe had it been busier the atmosphere would have a bit more inviting."

Bickleigh Castle ★★★

"We went as we were bought a gift voucher. Only day to visit is Thursdays,. We had to be there by 12.on arrival we were asked if we wanted tea or coffee with our cream tea. We were shown to a room with settees and armchairs (not good to serve up our cream tea) it all came out on one tray!! Looked very much thrown on. We ate that, the scones were okay but not quiet cooked as claggy in the centre. We then were told the tour of the gardens and castle would be at 2.30!!! Two and a half hours after arrival. We decided to go round on our own rather than wait as no more refreshments available. It took 5 to 10 mins to look round a very un kept garden.all overgrown weeds galore coving paths. The chapel was a mess.. What would have been a nice rose glgrowing up the entrance was covered in dead heads.. The band stand where we were told it would be nice to take photos was overgrown.. We checked out a couple of the historical rooms weren't lit up at all or presented nice. Then onto to the main garden which was also a mess. Tennis courts with weeds growing through the court.. Think twice before you go. Photos on line are nothing like it!!!"

The Globe Inn ★★★★

The Silverton Inn ★★★

"Barman was very rude when I tried to check in"

Valley House ★★★★

Bampton Townhouse ★★

"Great marketing and a very comfortable bed but very far from luxurious! We were in the biggest room with nowhere to put our clothes. I’ m 5ft 6” and could barely reach the cost pegs which were too large for my coats; there was nowhere else to hang up clothes and the couple of tiny drawers were big enough for underwear only. Cases had to be opened on the floor. Coffee/tea but no milk were available in the kitchen downstairs (I got dressed again and went to the Spar opposite for milk). A tiny plastic box in the bathroom held the very mean selection of shampoo etc. ( only enough shampoo for one and a couple of sample type sachets of bath oil). Are 2018 magazines sufficiently old to be considered retro? That’s the reading material in the room. Perhaps the owner has not noticed the damp in the wall beside the large mirror. This is an AirB&B at best, certainly not a hotel."

New Inn ★★★★

"Great atmosphere and super friendly pub. Food was delicious and great choice of wine and beers. Dog friendly"

Fox & Hounds Country Hotel ★★★

"Met up with my two sisters lunchtime at the Fox and Hounds and we all had fish and chips. My sisters commented on the food and both said the best fish and chips ever. Great service from Victoria. They can't wait to come back and indulge once again."

The Quarrymans Rest ★★★

"Stayed there for 3 nights the other week. Friendly landlord/owner, lovely room and possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Breakfast was filling and lovely. And we got to meet a local legend, Denzil the cat 🙂 Highly recommended."
