The Bowl Inn

Room excellent clean Great Breakfast ,served quickly great staff

Staff were unfriendly!!! The fire in the pub not lit even though it was a really cold night in winter and had to beg them to put it on. Several items on the menu were not available to order Was told I could not go for breakfast before 9am ( on a week day ) and had to beg to go earlier as had an early meeting. When I went to breakfast however , there were only two tables that were busy - the rest were empty !!!

This was a great place to stay, small but lots of attention to detail and the staff were so accommodating. The room was quirky and well decorated. The selection of food was good and seemed to be excellent quality and beautifully cooked and presented. Would stay again!

Clean, spacious room, friendly staff. Great foid

Checked in, then I was told I couldn’t eat in the bar or restaurant, as there is a a quiz night on, and all the tables are reserved for the quiz. The quiz was noisy and heard in my room till late, as they opened all the corridor doors ! Worst stay I’ve ever had in 30 years

Nice little pub with hotel rooms, food and staff really nice

A little gem of a place. Loved it and a great location.

Just ok

What a perfect find the Bowl was. The history,environment and staff. Nothing needs improving. Thank you all. Can’t wait for next time x

This was a return visit despite a poor experience earlier in the year. The welcome was almost non existent when I was shown to my room. The Boot is dirty and shabby especially in the public areas. The staff have a dismissive attitude and the level of service is dreadful with a lack of observation or care. I will definitely not be returning!!

A gem of a hotel based above a pub in a quiet village setting next to a local church. Fantastic food and attentive staff. Hotel has good parking facilities

Lovely room and amazing food

Service was terrible, food average

The pub was lovely, staff were gracious and polite, evening meal and breakfast delicious. Unfortunately the condition of the bedroom was terrible due too stale water smell from the shower. Disappointingly this ruined what would have been a nice stay.

An absolute delight, excellent staff and great facilities.

Very quaint, staff very friendly and helpful. Room wasn't big but had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Bogh dinner and breakfast were delicious. Would recommend.

Excellent customer service. Good selection of food and ales.

Excellent good customer service. Very good food and selection of ales.

Room was clean and comfortable. WiFi didn’t work in room, but good in bar and outside. Bathroom a little tired but functional. Food was great.

My room was nicely appointed but had tiny bathroom with a very tight shower cubicle. Unfortunately, as the room was located above the bar, it was quiet noisy until closing time. The front of the pub is illuminated throughout the night and, despite the heavy curtains to the window, a lot of light came into the room. Dinner was a huge disappointment. The menu was quite limited and so I chose the Brixham Market fish stew. I asked the waitress what it contained but she had no idea but returned from the kitchen with the answer: haddock, prawns and mussels. I was completely shocked when my meal arrived a few minutes later which automatically made me question the process in the kitchen. The dish was disappointing with a heavy tomato base which killed any flavours. The saffron potatoes were completely smothered in the heavy sauce so it was impossible to taste the delicate flavour of saffron. Again, staff training was lacking: no receptacle for my muscle shells, no finger bowl which was essential with the tomato gloop and nobody asked if everything was ok. The man who I would assume was in charge, had an irritating habit of stroking his beard which, in a restaurant, was quite unpleasant. Nobody enquired if they could get me anything else so retired back to the bar for coffee. Breakfast was a shambles: there was no coffee available as the machine had been ‘turned off’. A lack of professionalism and poor service.
