A good stay. Great breakfast. The bathroom was clean, but a little tired and in need of a refurb.

It is a lovely inn right by the river. Clean and well kept, friendly staff and good food. Ideal location for seeing the area.

Lovely stay at the Abbey Inn!

Beautiful setting to stay in looking out onto the river! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the pub is stylishly decorated inside, the rooms were nice too. The food was the highlight! The steak pie and the beef burger were really good, and the full English breakfast delicious too! We will definitely be staying again.

Malcolm, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location looking out onto the river was lovely. Breakfast great, unfortunately they had no chef for a couple of evenings so no meals available! Staff were very friendly.
Wendy, 3-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'!)

We had a wonderful stay at the Abbey, lovely spotlessly clean room, great food and drink. Best of all were the staff, who made the stay perfect, so friendly and helpful.

Lovely place to stay

Had a lovely few days at the Abbey Inn. Really friendly staff and a lovely room. Located next to an idyllic looking stream with a bar downstairs and great looking food. Breakfast was great, lots of choice and all well cooked. A few minutes walk from the beautiful Buckfast Abbey and a few minutes drive from the quaint shops in Buckfastleigh. Happy to recommend

Good facilities, lovely setting close to where I was working. Only issue for a business stay was breakfast started at 8am so I missed it both days.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed 2 nights this week with my husband for a belated anniversary trip. Our room was large, clean and comfortable, with a lovely river view. The breakfast and evening meal were superb. We also enjoyed the quiz on Thursday night. The attentive staff and excellent service complemented a relaxing and enjoyable visit. We would happily stay there again and we will be highly recommending The Abbey Inn to all. Thank you!

Rosie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were wonderful, and the location can't be beat. We unwound each night with a half-pint on the beautiful terrace that is set along the riverbank. The building is a lovely old hodge-podge of levels. We were at the top of it, which involves a stairs-climb that could be hard for some. There is ample parking (very welcome!). It's at the edge of the village, which meant it was a short, pleasant walk to find country lanes for an evening's stroll. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly, and would be happy to stay here again, if we get back to Dorset!
