The Silverton Inn

"Barman was very rude when I tried to check in"

Fox & Hounds Country Hotel

"A wonderful stay at this fantastic hotel. Staff were excellent. Food was fantastic. Good priced bar with a varied selection. Beds super comfortable. Lovely location too with some fantastic dog walking areas."

The Quarrymans Rest

"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."

Bickleigh Castle

"Beautiful place so quiet & serene! I would absolutely recommend a visit! We initially booked as we were coming with our grandaughters nova & Willow from London to go to see our adopted donkey Jimmy at The Donkey Sanctuary! Sarah kept in touch with us & was waiting to greet us when we arrived as was Timmy the cat(who my grandaughters loved)Now the only thing I will say is that if you are a family with small children mine are 7 & 3 the Barn house is not for you it has two separate bedrooms that are parted by a bathroom the external door is open all night so not ideal I slept in the double bed with my grandaughters & my husband slept in the other room with the two single beds! We did book a family room this ideal if you have older children but not for young children I would call Sarah in advance of booking just to check what is available! On the pulse side we did get two rooms for the price of one so very much appreciated! Lots to see & do & definitely go to the Train Museum well worth the money & the girls loved it!"

Hillside Bed and Breakfast

"Second visit and perfect in every way. The bedrooms are well equipped and immaculate and beds very comfortable. Breakfast selection fantastic and delicious. Thank you Sue"

The Globe Inn

Anchor Inn

"Staff very friendly and helpful. Had two meals and beer here. First meal of burger was good, second meal of pork belly was really very good both with local beer. Pub is busy but everyone friendly and make an effort to fit in if not booked. Stunning location and gardens."

Bampton Townhouse

"Great marketing and a very comfortable bed but very far from luxurious! We were in the biggest room with nowhere to put our clothes. I’ m 5ft 6” and could barely reach the cost pegs which were too large for my coats; there was nowhere else to hang up clothes and the couple of tiny drawers were big enough for underwear only. Cases had to be opened on the floor. Coffee/tea but no milk were available in the kitchen downstairs (I got dressed again and went to the Spar opposite for milk). A tiny plastic box in the bathroom held the very mean selection of shampoo etc. ( only enough shampoo for one and a couple of sample type sachets of bath oil). Are 2018 magazines sufficiently old to be considered retro? That’s the reading material in the room. Perhaps the owner has not noticed the damp in the wall beside the large mirror. This is an AirB&B at best, certainly not a hotel."

The Exeter Inn

"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."
