The Silverton Inn ★★★

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

Bickleigh Castle ★★★

"We visited because I'd been given a voucher for a tour and cream tea. We thought at one point we were at Fawlty Towers .. confusing signage about whether or not the property was open, no-one milling around to make enquiries, when we eventually found out where to report to we were greeted with a very brusque attitude and to be informed we were lucky they had decided to open today because they were soooo busy, told to sit in the 'lovely seats' and generally spoken down to - we never discovered what they were busy doing. We felt we were an inconvenience to them. Cream tea was OK, much the same as you'd get from in any supermarket cafe - no choice of scones, seedless jam - mine didn't have any fruity lumps. I was disappointed we were asked if we wanted one or two scones. Didn't realise the state of the milk jug until after we had used some - inside could do with a good scrub so the inside is as white as the outside. We wandered around the castle and gardens - took us 30 mins max - very small. The Chapel was locked so we couldn't look in there. Fortunately we are able to find humour in our experience but we certainly won't be going back or recommend friends visit. We will, however, go back to Fisherman's Cot pub and Bickleigh Mill, both of which are around a mile from this venue, where staff are immensely more hospitable and crockery is clean!"

The Exeter Inn ★★★★

"Great pub with lovely staff Rooms are lovely and beds are very comfortable"

The Globe Inn ★★★★

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."

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."

New Inn ★★★★

"Rang late evening on spec and a room was available. What a find. Everything one could want. Great welcome fantastic room and superb food"

The Quarrymans Rest ★★★

"Visiting friends in the village and so pleased they booked us into The Quarrymans Rest. Friendly and easy book in and pleasantly surprised at the spacious and clean room. Everything catered for with tea, coffee, kettle and milk supplied and a lovely view. Had a pint on arrival and sat outside with very welcoming locals. Returned after a night out and sat inside. As previous reviews have stated, this is a proper pub with very friendly, hardworking landlord. There is even the pub cat Denzil. In the morning we had a lovely fried breakfast and left wishing we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back."
