The hotel is modern, very comfortable with good sized bedrooms. Everywhere very clean. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Wonderful location next to Buckfast Abbey and you are to to explore its grounds. If you are staying on a Sunday we would recommend the carvery lunch at the Granary.

Stayed for one night, room was spacious and clean, though it was very warm (even with radiators turned off). Bed was ok but could do with better pillows (one is way too flat, two way too much). Overall it’s a hood place, and might consider stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and there was nothing to fault here. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and gluten free options outstanding. We would recommend dining in. The room was extremely comfortable and well designed with the easiest shower system we have come across. The whole atmosphere of the hotel and surrounding area was peaceful. We didn’t want to leave!

Stunning location within the grounds of Buckfastleigh Abbey. Complete tranquility with the exception of the bells of the Abbey ringing. The hotel restaurant was superb. Accessibility for wheelchair users was exceptional. All staff were kind and courteous - nothing was too much trouble! Smooth surfaces (including the car park) made wheelchair use easy and comfortable. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and well equipped. Cannot think of any negatives, and well most definitely be returning in the future.
