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."

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 Silverton Inn ★★★

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

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."

Fox & Hounds Country Hotel ★★★

"A lovely dog friendly venue. Room 19 was spacious with a lovely patio. Tasty breakfast and the evening meal in the restaurant was divine. Storm Isobel meant it was wet and chilly so we could not explore all the grounds."

Anchor Inn ★★★

"Went here for dinner, my vegetarian pasta was lovely my husband had chicken burger he said it was just OK nothing special, we did feel abit out of place when we first arrived as full of locals and staff not that welcoming, but it is a lovely setting and good prices."

The Globe Inn ★★★★

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."

Valley House ★★★★
