Comfortable and very good service.

Room and excellent breakfast

5.0 / 10.0

Mediocre Bed for the night, not very inviting, tired and run down, no eye for detail

Location

Room above kitchen extractor fan, noisy & smell. Lights outside left on 24/7 so lit room all night. Plug in sink didn’t hold water, had to refill sink 6 times to have a wash, general lack of hanging in bathroom and small space to move around. Breakfast overcooked and items missing most days, limited availability.

Fantastic Inn with comfortable rooms and great food

Fantastic location. Warm welcome and our room had river views which were beautiful. Bed was comfortable and as it was Valentines day we were staying they had put rose petals on the bed. Very sweet Food for both dinner and breakfast was fantastic and couldn't fault it. Highly recommended

Couldn't stay longer Aside from that nothing not to like!

8.0 / 10.0

Great location!

Friendly staff, good food, comfy bed, parking & location on the River Dart.

Maybe change the Kettle as it is too big for sink to fill up?

7.0 / 10.0

A nice, comfortable place to stay with great food and friendly staff and a lovely view of the river.

The location, with a very quiet room overlooking the River Dart. The room was large and very clean. Dinner was delicious and there was an excellent cooked breakfast the next morning. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lights unnecessarily left on outside the hotel all night (my pet peeve - I need a dark room to sleep properly). The bed was comfortable but a lighter duvet option would have been appreciated as I was a bit too hot. The shower had plenty of hot water, but the water pressure was weak, so not very satisfactory. I was kept awake for much of the (windy) night by the sound of an unfastened door/window banging somewhere in the building.

8.0 / 10.0

Was a nice stay but would've been much nicer in good weather as would be lovely sitting by the river

Evening meal & breakfast was lovely. And both stay 4th/5th Feb were very nice (didn't get their names)

Bed wasn't too comfy.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful and friendly atmosphere

Beautiful location next to the stream, delicious foods, comfy rooms, wonderful staff

Could have done with breakfast being serve a bit earlier than 8am, as needed to be on the road earlier than 8.30

6.0 / 10.0

Amazing location, lovely staff, shame the mattress and shower let it down

Outstanding location, right next to the river Dart. My room overlooked the river,facing nature, not overlooked at all- beautiful! Was able to leave curtains open and enjoy the full moon. Staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was good. The property was clean and well presented. Room was warm and cosy, nicely furnished with huge new kettle, selection of hot drink consumables, bottle of water and hairdryer. Limited options for dietary requirements on the menu but staff made an effort to accommodate my needs and provided jugs of non dairy milk for my room upon request. I enjoyed gluten and dairy free fish and chips one evening in the restaurant.

Single bed was sadly very uncomfortable, I could feel every spring in the mattress. The compact shower doors didn't meet flush together and the tray didn't empty quickly causing flooding concerns. Thin walls meant I could hear the loud TV in the adjacent room clearly and later, snoring. The doors were noisy to open and close and I could hear all the other guests using stairs and doors to the hallway but this settled and was reasonably quiet through the night. The dining room chairs could do with new padding. Following a coccyx injury, I didn't find them comfortable to sit on.

It was what seemed to be a local pub with lovely staff who were very polite and helpful

Location just by the river was lovely

Excellent value for money, lovely staff, great location!

We stayed one night in one of the smallest double roomx (Mallard) which was perfectly adequate for our needs. It was lovely and quiet other than the soothing sound of the river which may have been louder than usual due to the recent heave rain, but it wasn't so loud as to be disturbing (with the windows closed - I can't speak for the summer!) Everything was lovely and clean, the bed was comfy (a little soft for my husband though) and I slept really well. The bathroom was small, but the shower cubicle wasn't as tiny as some and looked quite new, although we didn't use the shower ourselves. A large or tall person may find the bathroom a bit of a squeeze for getting undressed/dressed but it was fine for us. Breakfast was included in the price and was delicious - a hot choice which included a fanatstic full English breakfast with cereals, fruit juice and pains au chocolate available too. Coffee was excellent! We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon and took advantage of the "Advent Calendar Special" for that day which was a free mince pie with a hot drink between 3 and 5pm. Those mince pies were delicious - obviously home made, and were warmed up for us. The tea was very good too and great value. The staff were all lovely, and we chatted with some locals in the bar who were typically friendly for Devon folk. The location was excellent as it was a couple of minutes from the main A38 Devon expressway and easy to reach Totnes where we were visiting family. Big car park too.

Nothing!!

9.0 / 10.0

A excellent place to stay.

The room was lovely and cozy with tea and coffee facilities and a very comfortable bed. The staff were very friendly and the Christmas menu we had pre-booked was excellent as was breakfast the next day. We have stayed here before and will do so again.

There wasn't anything to dislike.

Beautiful setting and lovely staff.

The Abbey was just lovely, the setting by the river was so nice to see and hear run the morning. Breakfast was great , plenty of food and drinks. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout .

3.0 / 10.0

A disappointing stay: pleasant staff but poor facilities.

The location alongside the River Dart is pleasant but marred by constant noise from the Totnes Road and from the Devon Expressway some yards farther away.

1. Lack of beverage options in the rooms - only tea and coffee provided, no bottled water. 2. Hot, dry atmosphere in the Inn - when mentioned this was met with indifference. 3. My 93 year old mother was unable to sleep in a small single room lacking an opening window. She resorted to jamming the door open all night. 4. A good evening meal was provided but there was a paucity of breakfast options. 5. The availability of TV channels in the rooms was poor.

Faultless, couldn’t say a bad word about it!

Excellent location, staff were amazing, super friendly and couldn’t be more welcoming/helpful! The food was brilliant, especially the breakfast! Room was clean including the bathroom, loads of space! Genuinely could not fault my experience here if I am ever in the area again I will definitely be staying here! 10/10

Very relaxing and enjoyable

Breakfast was very good, everything offered or on request. Accommodation was nice and clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Unfortunately there were quite a few stairs and no lift. I have hip problems which caused slight problems but still enjoyed the stay.

Will definitely stay here again.

Hotel was a lovely riverside location, in summer the external seating would be great. Staff were friendly & helpful. Breakfast was spot on.

Room was slightly smaller than expected but it was very clean & room service was spot on.

A great location for a stay by the river.

Great location right by the River Dart. It was wonderful watching wildlife out of the window and the river had a soothing sound at night. The food was ok...average pub grub with no surprises.

The bed was small and uncomfortable. A thicker matteess would help no end.

6.0 / 10.0

Have potential, but misses the mark.

Room was a good size and had a great view. The room was warm. Quite teh biggest kettle I've ever seen in a hotel room.

Bed was oddly shaped crowned and too soft for my taste, shower cubicle was too small - I barely fitted in and I couldn't persuade any soap out of teh sqeezy bottle. The bedside lamp was too dull to read by, the room was noisy and as it was near the kitchen extractor vent it filled with cooking smells. Meals were workmanlike rather than inspirational. The desk was of no use to work on as it was filled with the hot drinks tray and there were no spare power sockets for laptops of phone charging. The bar was populated by noisy drunk local youths (at1930)

Execellent but cold in the room.

The staff were very helpful, the food was excellent, my room had an amazing view over the river Dart.

There was very little or no central heating in the room and it was cold. When the radiators did come on they were luke warm and did very little to heat up the room.

Cheap and cheerful

Being permitted to check out at noon on the friday. Finding my coat in the morning having inadvertently left it in the dining area the previous evening, Lovely location on the River Dart

Room was very small and the double bed was barely a double, so very cosy! Being on the top floor with no lift.

Wonderful stay for our anniversary

Perfect location with parking outside. Comfortable bed, plenty of storage in a spacious clean room with a beautiful view of the river. Excellent food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Nothing, all perfect.

4.0 / 10.0

Glad only spent a few days won’t be using it again.

Food was adequate. Could have been better eg basic white or brown bread granary would have been nice. Same croissants in dish for 4 days. Sheets and towels clean and changed regularly

Rooms were shabby. Carpets on landing stained. Bell pulls in en suite were filthy at base. Insufficient room to sit after a meal eg quiz night took over whole pub therefore had to go back to bedroom. As was there with a friend and we had separate rooms it was difficult to relax as there was only 1 easy chair in each room.

4.0 / 10.0

Lovely stay but 4 poster bed way too low and a soft, cheap mattress on it making sleep difficult

Lovely stay but problems with the catering

Not advised that dinner was cancelled on Monday night until we went down to eat!

6.0 / 10.0

Apart from the 2 issues mentioned we enjoyed our stay and the location was excellent

Room was a nice size, very clean with comfy king size bed, 3 seat sofa and a dressing table with stool. A very nice view overlooking the Dart river. Plus ample tea, coffee, biscuits and bottled water provided. Breakfast was great. We only had diner on the first night but that was also very good.

2 main issues: 1. The en suite bathroom; The light pull switch is too far away from the entry door - opposite side. The total area is very small and facilities are consequently difficult to use, the shower is immediately next to the toilet and there is very little space to get round it. The sink is immediately in front of the toilet and there is no adequate space to put toilet bags and things. I found it impossible to dry myself without opening the door and entering back into the bedroom. 2 Few electric points. There are no spare electric points easily available to charge mobiles, etc.

Fabulous staff.. fabulous food.. great ambience. Noise was an issue but did resolve my issue.

The food was fantastic. Loads of gluten free options. Massive portions and loads of variety. Single room was much bigger than I expected. It was a pleasant surprise. The river and fairy lights created a lovely ambience

The room was noisy as it was over the bar. I was in GoldCrest which is a single.
