Location was fabulous..The beach is amazing The staff were really friendly especially tom who couldn't do enough for the group. Breakfast was fabulous freshly cooked and local produce. The pub is a proper old fashioned and was decorated fabulously with Xmas decos.

The pub could of had a area where seating was more relaxed like a couple of sofas to chill and relax. The food was great but maybe a few more vegetables on menu. This time of year December pub is on winter hours so it's a bit of a problem if go in a group as no communal area to go to sit as don't always want to go to the rooms until you go out..

Lovely room with a fantastic en-suite. Bed was so comfortable & all spotlessly clean. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate & biscuits available in room. Also shower gel, body lotion etc. The pub is wonderful & the manager is so lovely & friendly. The food was divine! We had the fish pie which was totally delicious & really good portion size too. The apple crumble & bread & butter pudding was great too! Breakfast had a good selection & the full English was so good, we did not eat all day. Would 100% recommend staying here.

Pleasant room with en suite above pub. Lovely view of sea and Burgh Island in the distance. The staff were friendly and helpful apart from one lady. See above.

A female member of staff, on out last morning, was quite sharp. We went to sit at the breakfast table where we had dined on the previous morning. There was a place setting missing so my friends moved a setting from another table. She was quite officious and told us that we should have sat elsewhere. I understand that the pub has just appointed a new assistant manager. I think that it would be a good idea to mark the tables with guests' names in future. I would add that other guests remarked on her manner. Nasty drains smell on the last evening.

Excellent local fresh produce. Staff welcoming and efficient. Good to have on-site free parking - nothing else nearby. Good variety of products on hospitality tray. Good base for walks and beach.

Minor issues (budget room). Sockets not well placed - had to boil kettle on floor as lead not long enough to reach from hospitality tray. It appeared that mugs and glasses washed in bathroom rather than taken away and changed. Clean towels occasionally had residual stains even though laundered. Mattress past its best.

One of, if not THE best inns I stayed at during my trip through the sout west of England. A very cosy room with a comfortable bed, all necessary appliances, a nice clean bathroom and very forthcoming hosts. Since I had to leave earlier than the normal breakfast time, they made me a breakfast tray that the brought to me the night before (with toaster and a winecooler for the milk etc.). Such a nice gesture. Would definitely stay there again!

Great hosts and a great quiet spot to get away. Good food and good beer. Friendly atmosphere and dog friendly. Would love to return for a holiday trip rather than work.

This is by no means a complaint. The entire village has no mobile network coverage and whilst the Sloop Inn does have free wifi it did cut out a couple of times for a few seconds. Ordinarily this wouldn't be an issue but if like me you're travelling for work it could make 'working from home' difficult.

Location was excellent, as part of an old pub. Room, although tiny, was adequate for a couple of night's stay. Evening meals, were excellent. Wide choice, local fare, promptly served with decent sized portions. The fish on Friday, at £10 was a bargain. Breakfasts were also good, with a wide choice od cooked breakfast, all deliciously put together.

Considering the cost ( £220 for two nights B & B ), it was a good deal.

The atmosphere of the place was relaxed, and the room was nicely decorated (lovely colourful seaside-themed artwork on the walls). The breakfast (full English cooked to order) was good. The restaurant was nicely fitted out with seaside decor. The menu was varied, with quite high-end offerings,

The bed was not that comfy, and the accommodation pricey. We felt we were paying for the location rather than the accomm itself. At dinner, the undercooked chips let the fish & chips down. Not flagged up at the time only because we were with a big group.

I stayed in room 2 which is on the front of the property. The view from the bathroom looked down the road and Burgh Island was the backdrop. Views from the bedroom windows looked out over the river estuary. The bed was comfortable and there were tea/coffee making facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Breakfast was very good and you are able to mix and match to your taste. Plenty of juices available as well

Room 2 is on the first floor directly above the bar, consequently there can be some noise from voices and furniture scraping over the floor. However the noise stops pretty quickly at 11pm so isnt too much of a problem. Room 2 is a double room but there was only one chair in it so a couple would struggle for both people to sit

The Inn has a nice atmosphere with well decorated rooms which have a separate entrance on the side without going through the bar....nice touch. The location is amazing with seaviews from the rooms. It's all very unspoilt. Breakfast was very nice and all freshly cooked to order and dinner had a good selection including fish specials. Dogs are also very welcome. Bantham beach is one of those rare ones that are worth the walk down....it could compete with any in England for its scenic impact and gently shelving sands with views across to Burgh island. Surfers, families, walkers love it and paddle boarders enjoy the estuary leading to it. All in all Bantham and the Sloop Inn is worth seeking out for its unique and remote location.

The drive to Bantham village is challenging at busy times with passing place etiquette essential to negotiate it's single track. The staff, although very nice hard working and helpful are stretched through being short staffed like so many establishments this year. Parking can be difficult in peak season.
