This was an unexpectedly superb meal, fantastic unusual and varied menu, excellent value, great service and everything was locally sourced and freshly cooked. Well worth a visit for the food, although the decor is rather dated.

Firstly this restaurant is in Bampton not Tiverton, in case you are looking for it in Tiverton! My husband and I stopped off for a meal on our way to Nth Devon. The owner is a very nice lady who took our order, the restaurant is rather tired and dated but the food was worth going for. It was lovely... More

We are nine Ramblers from the Totnes area walking the Exe Valley Way. This accommodation was booked on line and what a find. We were made most welcome at this family run hotel, the rooms were very clean and comfortable and the food was delicious. We stayed two nights and intended to eat out on the second night but dinner... More

We received a very warm welcome on arrival and parked in the carpark at the rear of the hotel. We found it to be fairly quiet despite being located just off the main road through... More

We stayed one night in this hotel and were greeted warmly and the breakfast was excellent BUT the room smelt of stale smoke and there was a light outside our window which apparently lights up the hotel's sign - could not sleep as it was like daylight all night., Heavier curtains would eliminate this problem ...

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the Blackberries and we are already planning our next stay. We have never been dissapointed and the rooms are always tidy and more than acceptable . ( room for 2 1st time and a family room 2nd ) The food is top quality and the choice for Children is spot on... More

The hotel rooms are shabby and in need of updating but comfortable and acceptable for the price paid and it was only a 2 night stay. Make sure you book a room at the back of the hotel rather than the front as the main road through Bampton is very busy at times and noisy. The biggest surprise is the... More
