Overall it was a lovely place to stay. Dinner was tasty and reasonably priced and although my steak wasn’t quite medium it was extremely tasty and tender. Breakfast both mornings was very well cooked and again very tasty-nice to see a good quality sausage used! Staff were pleasant and efficient and the room was clean etc. I would definitely stay again.

The window latches were broken meaning they creaked and the catches scratched as the window moved and the extraction unit for the kitchen was right below my window. Not really a problem but it could be a bit noisy and smelly at times.

Bottles of water in room that were replenished when used was excellent. Breakfast was very good. Lovely quiet spot. The mattresses were soft and comfortable. Food was excellent value for money. View of the river from room was beautiful. Lovely spot and near "attractions" easy to walk to.

Just a little constructive criticism, the room would have benefited from a chair but I understand that Gooseander room had only just been refurbished and maybe the chair hadn't been placed in there yet.

It was a perfect little place a very old looking building which i loved a bout it placed right by a river which was also lovely only gave 8 stars because our room was small but very cosy next time will ask for a bit bigger room but staff did warn us we may wan to swap With our family who had the larger room liked where it was the location was perfect an the look was was lovely staff where so nice breakfast included in the price which was also lovely an we all really enjoyed it No Complaints loved our stay an will go again

Nothing

Evening host and morning breakfast staff were exceptional. Welcoming, polite and attentive. Room was clean and well prepared with facilities as advertised. Breakfast menu was excellent (including vegetarian option) with quality products.

Room decor was a little dated and 'worn' in places. The ensuite bathroom would benefit from an update and redecoration eg ceiling extractor fan not working, uncovered and dirty; leaking sink fittings with a plastic bowl beneath to catch leaks. We did notice that some refurbishment is taking place as evidenced outside the main building carpark.

The room was very clean very tidy, perfect. the staff were really lovely and so helpful. Absolutely beautiful location and we loved that the bar made use of the riverside and had tables outside. The staff helped us with local knowledge, recommended places to eat (they were in between chefs so no evening food) so they were helpful with that and directions etc.

The breakfast was lovely, but I had slightly less, as it seemed they weren't prepared for a vegan diner, it would have been nice to have some vegan sausages or bread for toast that was suitable for vegans. It could be because they didn't have a chef at the moment but before booking I did message and check if they did a vegan breakfast and someone replied to say that they did. So I booked there with that in mind. Nevertheless the items I had for breakfast were really nicely cooked and the staff were really helpful trying to find items I could have. So this is really just feedback for them incase they get any other vegan travellers, to get a few more bits in for them if they state they cater for vegans :)

Friendly staff in the evening and next morning. We had a lovely refurbished room with a comfortable bed and a good sized kettle and cups. It was enjoyable to sit in the beer garden overlooking the river Dart. We had a cracking breakfast. We enjoyed our stay which was priced very reasonably.

Ideally it would have been preferable to check in at 3pm instead of 4.30. We waited 50 minutes for our evening meal. The two items above did not spoil our overall stay.

The room was lovely The room was clean The room had a beautiful view The breakfast was fantastic, thanks to the cook, who seemed to have to take orders and cook it ? Young lady who was in bar , long blonde hair tied back in a plat, was an asset to the Inn, polite and friendly and attentive. We absolutely loved it. Good job !

The breakfast lady having to cope on her own ! I felt like offering to help her ! Now ... not so good news. A young lady, with long blonde strait hair, on our last day was helping out , with breakfast, she was polite enough, but made it clear to your guests that she was busy and they had to wait, a man asked for another coffee whilst waiting for his breakfast, she told him she would, but he must wait as she only had one kettle, and other guests needed, tea/coffee before him...... Now we are in a B&B with several rooms, all with kettles ! Come on ...

All the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the atmosphere in the bar when having drinks in the evening. The breakfast was excellent, with a good choice.

We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night, and were disappointed to find that the restaurant is closed on both these days. (Restaurant opening days/times are not shown on the pub's website or Facebook page). However, the staff member was able to recommend the Furzeleigh Mill for dinner (about 7 mins easy walk from the Abbey Inn) and we had a good meal there instead.

The location next to the river - it was lovely to be able to hear it, especially at night. It’s also a great location while visiting Buckfast Abbey and various local attractions (eg the South Devon Railway, and Dartmoor). The relative proximity to nearby towns like Paignton, Torquay and Totnes was a bonus too.

The stairs were a bit tricky for me - a lift would’ve been perfect. A later breakfast would’ve been great; 8-9am only was a bit restrictive. It was well prepared though.

Good choice of beer. Breakfast good. Nice room. The situation of the Inn on the river is beautiful. Friendly and helpful staff. Please keep the sofas in the bar, a nice place to relax with a drink.

The only slight thing is that there was a long wait for breakfast, we understand that The Abbey is under new management and staff are getting used to the new equipment etc but it was a long wait and other guests were beginning to get frustrated with the wait. The breakfast once arrived was very excellent.
