10/10 Exceptional

Had two different St Austell beers first night and Devon red cider second night to compliment my meals . Both evening meals were excellent as were the breakfasts both mornings. Staff very helpful. Room clean with double bed and en suite wc and shower.
Richard, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff all friendly and bedroom overlooking the river was very nice. Bathroom could do with a bit of a refresh but all clean. Food was ok, with vegetarian options. Good for an 'overnighter'. We saw a Dipper on the river from the room (which was named 'Dipper'!)

very friendly staff, room was basic but apart from water pressure in shower was perfect for overnight stay. Dinner was nice albeit not much choice. Breakfast was excellent. All things considered would return.

Family night away

Hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and tidy and bed was comfortable. The shower room was small but perfect for what we needed. The hotel wasn’t serving food during our stay but did serve a hot breakfast which was delicious. Would stay here again

Pick this one in Buckfastleigh

The Abbey Inn is a beautiful hotel by a stream. It oozes charm and character. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is varied and excellent. The rooms are fine and each has a character all its own. The bar and restaurant are wonderful.

A bit Fawlty Towers

Lovely setting, pleasant room, all clean and comfortable. However, the staff were rude. We sat down for dinner and one lady told my elderly uncle off for “swinging on the chair” - he clearly wasn’t, he is 80 years old and was adjusting his position. We decided to eat elsewhere down the road, where we were treated like valued customers and grown ups.
