The Globe Inn ★★★★

The Quarrymans Rest ★★★

"Best pub I've been in in a long, long time! A proper, honest pub. Very friendly. Well kept beer and a pickled duck egg! What more do you want? If you remember when pubs were pubs then don't miss this beauty. Thank you for making us so welcome. See you soon."

Bridge House ★★★★

"Bridge House was a great choice for our stop-over in Bampton. The room we stayed was great with a large bed and a great sized bathroom. Th room was spotlessly clean and we were treated to a lovely breakfast in the morning. Caroline was a great host and even supplied us with a fabulous cream tea on our arrival. Definitely highly recommended."

Fox & Hounds Country Hotel ★★★

"Met up with my two sisters lunchtime at the Fox and Hounds and we all had fish and chips. My sisters commented on the food and both said the best fish and chips ever. Great service from Victoria. They can't wait to come back and indulge once again."

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."

New Inn ★★★★

"Best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Thank you New Inn"

Anchor Inn ★★★

"The wife and I popped in here for lunch. We’ve been past the pub many times on our travels, but never stopped before. The pub is easily found at a bridge over the river Exe, on the B3222, between Bampton and Brushford, and bang on the river. A beautiful location. Plenty of parking at the back and front of the pub. The pub is open plan and in good decorative order, with plenty of seating indoors and out. The beer garden is a generous size, well kept and includes a river frontage. Service was warm and welcoming, and our drinks were served promptly. We ordered a full ribs for me, and a chilli burger for my wife. Both were good sized portions, and good value for money. My short pork ribs were nicely cooked, but the BBQ sauce was added when being plated. They were very good. My wife’s burger was a good size and nicely beefy."

Bickleigh Castle ★★★

"Dirty floor in orangery dirty table covers dirty public bathroom and messy lounge don't recommend this place for anyone!!"

The Exeter Inn ★★★★

"Had a wander down here while staying in Bampton. It didn't have much to offer for the length of the walk, so we sadly didn't return. The barman was lovely and served us well, but then all we could hear was him complaining about his job to other customers, which let him down. Maybe had it been busier the atmosphere would have a bit more inviting."
