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 :)

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.

Welcomed at reception was good and directed to the room. The dinner menu was good and the food was fine. The room was in a good position overlooking the River but the room was had seen better days and really needs a tidy up with some decor. It lacks plug sockets to charge anything and so you need to move the bed in order to unplug the table lamp and use that socket.
As above, the room needs decorating with some repair to furniture and some sockets to charge phones etc. I was on a business trip and had to head back to Yorkshire the next day. Breakfast served from 8am onwards is of no use when the traveller needs to get going, a 7am onwards would be beneficial.

Every member of staff was phenomenal and worked hard to provide a great stay. Breakfast was delicious. Enjoyed a meal there as well. The restaurant is clearly popular on a Sunday. Room was all really clean. The setting is beautiful with rooms overlooking the river. So relaxing to just watch the water. Lovely smell of a log fire too in the bar. Easy to access other places. Genuinely thought it was phenomenal value.
For the price, there was nothing I didn’t like, if that makes sense. A friend was staying in a ‘smart’ hotel in London at the same time. Their bathroom was swankier. It also cost 6 times more to stay there. The Abbey Inn offered a great stay at a quality way above its price.

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.

The crew was wonderful,very helpful. We got extremely delayed on our way to the hotel because of a huge train delay. After a phonecall they general manager promised to keep the check in open and wait for us. Amd when we finally arrive we instantly felt welcome. No matter the issue (two of us are Celiac and have milk protein allergy, one of our boys is autistic and extremely picky with his food) they worked with us to help. Tea was lovely,very generous amounts. The fish and chips for lunch is the best one we ever had. Generous portions, nice and friendly atmosphere at the entire hotel and pub. Breakfast was delicious, even of we didn't understood how to order first because we're used to the Swedish "Serve yourself" breakfast buffet version. Stunning View.
We liked everything on our stay.
