"I have visited the attractive Exeter Inn near bampton many times over very many years. It has varied in standard from owner to owner. However, since the spring of 2025 it has been operated by Michelle and Martyn who very evidently know how to run an excellent establishment. Together they have hit the mark and immediately I walked in, following a friends recommendatin that great things had happened, I felt a really warm and welcoming atmosphere. Greeted cheerfully by this relaxed but most efficient couple and their friendly staff, I sensed enthusiasm and pride. It was sunday lunch and a proper fire roared away as happy guests chatted and laughed. A full range of roasts were offered and my chicken with all the trimmings was really delicious, hot and well presented, without any delay. You can just tell when you are enjoying a good eatery and the Exeter Inn is exactly that ! Living locally, I shall be a frequent customer and I suggest that you visit soon because you will not be disappointed ! Lovely pub, restaurant and Inn."

"Just spent 3 days visiting friends in Bampton and we stayed at Bridge House! With the most welcoming of owners! Nothing was too much trouble, good food and a great room with a huge en-suite. The whole place was spotless superbly decorated and tastefully furnished we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it."

"I only needed somewhere local to stay for one night, and this did just the job. Unique, quirky, and comfy. Host was very welcoming. Would stay again."

"Called in for a drink to The Quarryman's Arms, after doing some canvassing with friends. I was last there over 8 years ago. What a change! We were welcomed by the landlady, who had on offer a wide range of real ales, ciders and lagers. The pub had a greatly improved village pub feel, with a real buzz. Bampton has two pubs and both have their own unique feel."

"this was a great find for gorgeous coffee and amazing overnight oats... so friendly and welcoming... we also picked up a delicious freshly baked spelt loaf on friday. would highly recommend as a pit-stop when visiting dulverton or tiverton."
