The Abbey Inn

Good position, very clean, excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff.

The room was lovely and comfortable, the evening meal was lovely and the breakfast was lovely too.

Review from the window/clean room and the staff. I was not at all sure about the food which seemed to lack proper presentation and was not quite what you were expecting. We tried twice with the evening meal but looked elsewhere for the other two nights,

Very pleasant stay. Staff were very helpful.

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

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.

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

Nice hotel at fab location but slow service Due lack of staff

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.

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'!)

Lovely comfortable room with stylish furnishings Great full English breakfast

Excellent staff, good was excellent as well. Room ok just slightly tired.

Lovely traditional inn handily just off a main transport artery. We had dinner and breakfast at the Inn and it was very good. The option to eat outside overlooking the river was a nice bonus. All the staff we dealt with were excellent. The one drawback was the spring mattress which I found to be too soft. Overall a lovely stay.

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!

Great service and nice meals. Very quiet. Despite Friday night karaoke downstairs we didn’t hear a thing.

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!

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

Our stay at The Abbey Inn was most comfortable and perfect location. We had a nice dinner and breakfast. Could find nothing wrong.

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.

Quick and efficient check in; clean and comfortable room; good customer service apart from one mistake on the morning of our departure regarding our breakfast reservation but this didn’t ruin our stay. We are looking to return for Easter next year!
