"Lovely location near river, friendly staff. Would stay again."
I stayed for two nights. Had a small double the first night which was fine and lovely sounds from the river. The second night I had alarmed room which was better however there was noise from the road which cannot be helped. Staff friendly although breakfast staff did not explain what was on offer and the selection and presentation could be improved. Eg selection of juices, fresh fruit. Having said that was very good value.
The place looked tired could do with a refurb. Read less
Likes:
quaint and ideally located. Staff friendly and good value. I asked for more towels and could have had two extra large towels. Lots of teas and coffees and milks and a lovely touch with the sweets

"A lovely stay in a beautiful location"
We stayed at the Abbey Inn as part of a tour of the UK for two nights. We stayed in the room with the four poster bed, which had a nook that looked out over the river in the back. We were provided with breakfast each morning. We had a great stay! Read less
Likes:
The location was superb. We had some activities planned in Buckfastleigh and Devon, and this was very centrally located. The view of the river from our room was beautiful! The service was also great.
Dislikes:
We visited during an unusually hot spell in the UK so the room was quite warm. We would have loved to have a fan and screens on the windows so we could keep them open without letting bugs in the room.

"Fabulous location"
Visiting sister who lives close by. New the abbey was near so booked my other sisters and myself for the 2 nights. Rooms are being upgraded but unfortunately we were not in one which was a disappointment but when I come back next year we will all have upgraded rooms, breakfast good selection of cereals, lovely yogurt and full English. Staff were very busy but efficient. Evening meal was nice and tasty small menu but enough of a choice. Read less
