Beautiful place clean room bathroom spotless but needed shelf for toothbrushes etc. Bedding was very clean but pillows poor quality & far too soft. Hardly any filling. White fluff left on carpets each day. Excellent, friendly staff. Great cooked breakfast but buffet breakfast items could have been better. More selection of fruit & yogurts would have been nice & choice of low fat items.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating, assisting with calling taxis and holding luggage. The included breakfast was tasty and plentiful, the only drawback was it ended at 9:00am. Our shared family room was a nice size with two televisions and good wifi but in the height of summer it got a little warm. The location is beautiful and relaxing.

We really enjoyed our three night stay at the hotel.
Great location / base for exploring the area.
Staff very welcoming and helpful, quality (and quantity!) of food good, attractive hotel offering value for money.

We would have rated excellent but found the mattress too soft and there was a long delay at dinner one evening which was very frustrating.

Notwithstanding the above comments we thoroughly recommend the hotel and will book again next time we are in the area.

I like the way they combine modern convenience with this very old building. I thought the decor in the rooms attempted to achieve this combination but it was a bit bland overall. Internet connection was great, and appreciated.
Some of my party wanted to stay up late….we were staying in preparation for a funeral the next day, which was taxing for all of us …staying up late was not welcomed by the staff on duty, and all the lights were turned off outside which made it a bit treacherous when returning to bedrooms.

Pleasant stay, lovely helpful staff and great food

Accommodation was clean and comfortable, staff were all lovely. Very helpful and friendly. The meal that we had was excellent. My only critism is the short time span for breakfast, 7.30 to 9am. Sometimes it is nice to have a leisurely start to the day with breakfast a bit later. Also the lack of a residents licence when you are enjoying a nice family evening and are told at 11pm that it is last orders at the bar.

Breakfast was good but choices somewhat limited.

You'll be unlikely to get phone signal at the premises at all (three network), which was made worse by the fact that there was no WiFi available for the duration of my stay (afternoon - morning).

The room has a traditional style which ties in well with the building. Unfortunately there is no air conditioning which meant the room got very hot during our August stay. The bed was very comfortable, but a lighter duvet could have been a good option as we were experiencing a heatwave! The bathroom only had a bath with a showerhead attached for bathing, no barrier or curtain to stand up in unfortunately.

The location is quiet and isolated and the staff are friendly and approachable.

The stay was reasonable with a good quality cooked to order breakfast and very conformable bed in a quiet room. I feel at the cost of £140 (double) on a Sunday night stay it is a little over priced for what it is however.

The hotel is beautiful inside and out. The staff are helpful but not intrusive, the food is fabulous and the wine choice is pretty good. The wet room in our room was great and everywhere is clean. Free parking and beautiful countryside. A little cut off but just the way we love it. We will be back. Thanks.

Sadly had to leave early.

Unfortunately our stay was cut short by the couple above flooding the bathroom and water pouring through the lights into our room. There was only a twin room available with a mattress topper, so we declined this and came home early. The Bickley Mill offered a £25 gift voucher, which we declined.
This is a lovely place to stay and staff are attentive and helpful. Food is lovely.
Just a shame we had to leave because of another couple flooded their room & ours!

Mixed feelings ...

Really lovely sweet building with a rural oldie world feeling inside. Great shower room. Great supply of drinks (tea n coffee etc). Nice bed linen. Good service from the very polite staff. However, the doors to the rooms had heavy deadbolt locks on them ,no matter how quiet you tried to close your door they slammed shut . The walls were paper thin ; I think I had the newly weds next door to me!!!! 4am in the morning I managed to get to sleep ...not good. Breakfast on the first morning was lovely but the second morning I ordered the same it was overcooked and had egg shell in it; I left it uneaten .The window had been open on my arrival and the gnats had got in I had to go around swatting them before bedtime I counted at least 7.

A good stay

Staff were friendly, cheerful and helpful.
Breakfast was good with fresh ingredients.
Food in the restaurant was good.
Room was clean.
We were plagued with midges in our room at the time that we stayed (not the hotel's fault - apparently this happens for a couple of weeks each year because of the close proximity of the Mill stream) so had to keep our windows closed and when we mentioned this to a member of staff, they gave us a can of fly spray to use in the room, which helped. They also loaned us a fan as we couldn't have the windows open.
The patio was a lovely place to sit with a drink from the bar and benefitted from the evening sunlight.
We arrived in the afternoon and would have liked to have had a pot of tea and slice of cake in the garden, or maybe a Devon cream tea, but unfortunately neither were available, only a drink from the bar. So we would recommend that the hotel offer this as we're sure that other guests would like that option too as it was a bit early to be drinking alcohol from the bar.
All in all, we had a lovely stay and would recommend the hotel.

Ok stay, some finishing touches required.

On arrival, very efficient and polite, I needed a dvd Player for my child to use during part of the stay, clearly advertised in the room I booked. This was not the case, and on querying this was met by a dismissive response. The hotel was full, so understood changing was not an option and suggested that the room list should be updated for future reference, this was not accepted by the staff member. The shower pole was loose, the curtain was disengaged. After my first query regarding the dvd issue I thought it pointless telling them. Breakfast was great!

Lovely, quiet setting. Very nicely presented, reasonable size room and very clean. Had Salcombe room, very quiet with views across gardens. Very good breakfast, cooked to order - and excellent croissants - also fresh cooked to order. Staff were excellent; happy to vary menu and very pleasant and helpful. All round a great stay. Only slight criticism was the orange juice at breakfast - not the best - and the curtains were very thin; could do with blackout linings. Dinner was of a high standard; well cooked and presented with good choices and great sweets - and not having to drive was a real bonus.

Attractive hotel close to family living nearby .

I specifically chose this hotel for an overnight stay as my husband and I were visiting family locally. It is the first time we stayed here and overall our impressions were good despite our brief visit. For us it was a good location. Staff very friendly and helpful. As a last minute booking I was only able to book twin bedded room but beds were very comfortable and clean as was entire room and en- suite bathroom. All tastefully decorated and furnished. Only negative was that in our room named Kingsbridge, we were able to clearly hear conversations, ablutions etc through the wall of adjoining rooms even though the guests were not speaking particularly loudly.
Breakfast next morning was good and well cooked if choosing from the menu which was provided to order, although the breakfast buffet bar was limited and fruit offered of poor quality and choice.
Overall though we would choose to return as the staff, service and room cleanliness were good.
