Hillside Bed and Breakfast ★★★

"Can only praise Sue at the Hillside-nice spacious room-very clean-big bed and a delicious breakfast as well. She goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed on your stay. Left a piece of jewellery by mistake and Sue was kind enough to send back to us. As a bonus there is a pub just across the road and a very nice country park close by to stroll through if you feel inclined. All in all a recommended place to visit ..*****"

Fox & Hounds Country Hotel ★★★

"We have just come away from the Fox and Hounds after a 3 night stay. We paid a little extra for the suite but it was so worth it! Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and spacious - the perfect home from home. We were surprised at the attention to detail, a full kitchen with every utensil needed and even leaving some little doggy biscuits to welcome the furry guest. The grounds are well maintained and staff more than friendly towards dogs. We paid with dining included, at £35 pp per night for dinner upfront. Unfortunately, we did not feel this is value for money. With soggy burgers, cold breakfast and at times inattentive staff, the “service” was lacking. More worryingly, seafood came out consistently barely warm or cold, making it inedible. One manager left us with no drinks for over an hour, meaning we had to share a single glass of water. Food is not value for money and not as premium as advertised. When checking out we expressed this disappointment to the hotel, providing an opportunity to rectify further - instead we had to pay £10 for additional drinks. Rather disappointingly, we were promised that the first meal would wiped, only now we have left the hotel we find these so call “promises” are empty and only being refunded 20% of what we were promised (still far below what we would want to pay). Further still, I was told no one was available, but my partner was put straight through to a manager showing clear avoidance of the issue. Whilst the room was nice, the food and post-stay service has been abysmal and unfortunately completely overshadowed what few benefits the hotel has. We would like to thank the head of Housekeeping and interior designers who gave us something to praise about our stay."

New Inn ★★★★

"We visited for Sunday lunch, we had booked. The staff were friendly and welcoming,such a lovely pub. We both went for the pork roast and was not disappointed....standard meal size was big but all the food was perfectly cooked and more vegetables to add to your plate with a very large gravy boat . Only one of us had pudding which was the sticky toffee pudding ...another big portion and delicious Definitely will be returning again, such a gem of a pub"

The Globe Inn ★★★★

The Exeter Inn ★★★★

"We went to this Inn for a family of 22 birthday Sunday lunch, and they really looked after us. The food came out after about 15 minutes of us being there, but we were nice and settled at our table. The desert did however, not follow for another 60 minutes, but the place was very busy. The food and service were excellent, as was the warm welcome. Will deffo be back."

The Quarrymans Rest ★★★

"Called in for a drink to The Quarryman's Arms, after doing some canvassing with friends. I was last there over 8 years ago. What a change! We were welcomed by the landlady, who had on offer a wide range of real ales, ciders and lagers. The pub had a greatly improved village pub feel, with a real buzz. Bampton has two pubs and both have their own unique feel."

Bridge House ★★★★

"We booked all 3 rooms for several days for a family wedding in the town. It couldn't have been a better place to stay. Very comfortable beds in beautifully appointed rooms, and the owner, Caroline, being an exceptional host. The food was also delicious, with the lemon curd biscuits going down especially well with my wife. Bridge House was the epitome of rest and calm before & after busy days of wedding preparation and celebration. I cannot recommend it highly enough."

The Silverton Inn ★★★

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

Bickleigh Castle ★★★

"Went for the Castle and grounds tour followed by Tea and Scones. A perfect day out, a very interesting tour with some fascinating historic details. It was perfectly finished off with great company and fresh scones and tea. Highly recommended even if not staying at their beautiful accommodations."
