"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."

"A pleasant country pub with appealing features such as the open fire and low ceilings. The 'snug' area was chilly and not so appealing but bar area was warm and welcoming. We were greeted by a friendly Jonathan. Accommodation was pleasant, again some lovely features but very dusty and lacking attention to detail. Sadly, the food and service was a HUGE let down and for that reason I wouldn't return. The restaurant was cold and draughty, waitress service almost non existant and food served (after a long wait) was cold and I do mean cold. (Im not someone who is fussy about piping hot food served on hot plates but this wasnt even luke warm, it was cold) Breakfast was equally disappointing with a pleasant looking plate placed down only to discover it was cold - stone cold beans and egg are yuk. Perfect for a drink or two but wouldn't waste my time or money in staying for a meal or overnight stay Lots of potential here but the Exeter Inn is destined to fail if it continues like this & no matter how much positivity the over enthusiastic Jonathan shows, it doesn't make up for the many other misdemeanors "

"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."

"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."

"My wife and I stayed for 3 nights over Easter. The room, and property were utterly charming and full of character. Steve and Debbie are such great hosts, who will seemingly stop at nothing to ensure you have the best stay. This included delivering gourmet coffee & pastries to our room for breakfast, and hosting our family for a delicious supper in their beautiful dining room. Steve treated us to risotto, and a delicious salad. At a time when prices seem to be rising beyond reality, on pretty much everything, it is refreshing to be able to say we felt the weekend was great value. So nice to pay a bill and not feel robbed for a change! It’s probably an over-used expression, but I can say with certainty that we will definitely be returning!"
