Stayed for one night for a wedding - staff were kind and helpful and stored our bags for us.
Room was clean and well furnished, the fluffy bath robes were a nice touch. Comfy beds and a good breakfast.
Good parking and convenient for us for the wedding location. Nearby to lots of attractions in the area.

What a beaitifully decorated old building that is so comfortable. Decor wondeful, nice seating outside when the sun shines! Staff so helpful and go out their way for guests. Rooms comfortable but if you are tall be careful in Room 4 of the low beam, i managed to not hit it. Breakfast amazing and huge gin choice. Found it as had piggies and prosecco at Pennywell Farm booked. Will return to the area again and use Furzleigh Mill
Wendy
We had great 3 days here and the staff were very friendly.
Andrea
Lovely family room with everything we needed and more. Very pretty surrounding area. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Scarlett
Lovely re-energising trip.
Lovely peaceful place. In beautiful surroundings. Very attentive helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Modern shower-room. Good wifi. Views of sheep and hills. Very close to Buckfast Abbey conference centre. They also have a courtesy minivan to collect from stations or give lifts if anyone wants a trip away without a car (but I didn't use that as I had my bike - which was accomodated nicely). Faultless.
Trevor
Easy access off A38.
Debs
Comfortable bed, nice cosy room, lovely staff and great dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend.

Great Place to Stay
We enjoyed our stay at Furzeleigh Mill. It is a boutique hotel that clearly prides itself on its ambiance and quality of service. The setting is excellent for anyone who wants to hike the moors, and the owner and staff were very helpful in providing directions to the best trails. We highly recommend staying here for a couple of days.

Food was very good, bed very comfortable we slept like logs. Breakfast very good and b8ce area to sit outside too.
David
Very comfortable
Right next to the A38, so convenient for Plymouth or Exeter, for example. Lovely setting, quiet, friendly and a lovely room. I didn’t eat or drink there, but the provided me with a breakfast bag as I had to leave early.
Near a national trust site (the abbey, I think) and I expect a good base to explore the region as right on the edge of Dartmoor, I think and not too far from the south coast

Stylish stay with ‘cosy room’
A lovely location, stylish interiors and cosy rooms. Our room was compact and had all we needed for comfort, however the bathroom was tiny and made washing etc very awkward and uncomfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful on the whole but for a hotel and restaurant - seemed to lack training in the basic customer service do’s and don’ts. A good selection of food on the menu and breakfast was well presented with a good range including healthy and vegetarian options. I did notice some dirt that had carried into the reception area (on shoes) that was still there at end of the next day as we left. On the whole a relaxing and comfortable stay here with some food and drink to savour.

Thank you!
The stay was lovely. Staff were helpful and the room was extremely clean!
Verified traveler
Lovely place and very comfortable. The only criticism I have is the lady having loud telephone conversations on the landing prior to 9am. From what I heard she was organising things regarding the property. If I am wrong - I apologize, but I am right, she could perhaps lower her voice at that time in the morning. I was awake and it didn't disturb me, but I can imagine it could have disturbed others....
Stuart

My experience at Furzeleigh Mill
Was really nice clean and comfy with a great view but little bit disappointed about food menu, not too much things to choose and I think need to have more options for breakfast as well a little bit over price, they need to fix the payment option or improve the pay machine because they have delay in showing the payment, I've been called next day day and told I didn't pay my drinks?!?! , I had to spend half an hour with my bank and to check and prove them my payment was done, 🙄that is little bit annoying.
Anyway hope this feedback to help to improve in the future all this gaps and to become a better place.

How hospitality should be
If you are looking for a cosy little place with delicious food and excellent service then this would be the perfect choice. Lovely room with great attention to detail. Comfortable bed, fluffy bath robes, complimentary toiletries and well stocked tea and coffee tray. The food is absolutely superb. The most outstanding aspect of this establishment by far, is the wonderful service that Tessa and her team provide. Very friendly but extremely professional. They are a credit to the hospitality industry. Such a delightful stay.
Francine
It was great to find a hotel with a lovely single room and en suite shower room rather than pay a single supplement for a double room. Lovely large single bed. Immaculately clean room and en suite. Great selection of cooked breakfasts.
Simon
An Outstanding Stay from Start to Finish
We booked Furzeleigh Mill for a one night stay on our way down to Cornwall but wish we’d have stayed longer as our stay surpassed all expectations! The warmth and hospitality from the owners and staff was outstanding from the second we arrived until the time we left the next morning. Every little detail at Furzeleigh Mill has been well thought out - our room was comfortable, stylish and well equipped, and breakfast was delicious and fantastic quality with lots of variety. We especially enjoyed our evening of cosy drinks by the fireplace in the lobby and the fantastic gin selection at the bar! We can’t wait to stay here again.
Kate
Fantastic place
Lovely stay at Furzeleigh Mill. Warm welcome, friendly staff, lovely comfy room and excellent food. The breakfast menu is magnificent.
Jill
Lovely stay and would definitely stay again!
Lovely find! So convenient as just off the A38 at Buckfastleigh turn-off so handy for any travel around South Hams. Decor is lovely in rooms and in public areas. Breakfast is included which is a huge bonus! Staff were all very lovely, welcoming and obliging. Even had a lovely bath robe to use, and lovely toiletries. Food in restaurant was delicious, small menu but understandable in current covid times.
My only reason for not all excellent was the shower is a bit weak and did keep changing temperature a bit - though not enough to burn or freeze, just annoying.
I would also recommend that maybe breakfast could start a bit earlier on weekdays, maybe 7.30, as most people may be there on business and need to get away? Though they did allow early breakfasts to happen anyway but it may put other business people off if they saw the breakfast times?

Love decoration, very clean and tidy. Service at breakfast was excellent, will visit again.

Room was a lot smaller than we expected. Shower can only be described as having very thin water, the head had only tiny holes for the water making it very difficult to get wet and then rinse off.

New owners...friendly service..ongoing improvements...thoroughly recommend.

I would stay there again
This was our best stay in a 5-location tour of the south-west. Furzeleigh Mill has a proper restaurant with a very enjoyable cuisine. I would stay there again, next time I am in Devon.

Nice friendly hotel
Hotel nicely situated for our trip to visit family and the wedding we were attending at the lavender house which was just a five minute car drive away.
Geoff
Ideal base for exploring South Devon or Dartmoor
This was my first stay at Furzeleigh and it provided a good value for money 3 night stay. A little old fashioned or traditionally quaint depending on your point of view it benefited from free wi-fi which was a surprise as it was not advertised. Did not get to try the evening meal but did hear others saying the food was good.Would have liked to have tried a cider but got the impression bar was more for those dining than staying. Clientele was mixed although mainly elderly but some French family visitors showed accommodation had wide appeal.
Jean-Noel
A charming hotel
This hotel is charming. It is set in the countryside. The building is an old mill. Straightaway you feel it's going to be a peaceful place.
The decor is unsophisticated and simple. It's a bit old fashioned and quaint. The dining room is large.
The service is efficient and friendly. The food for breakfast is very nice.
The bedroom on the second floor was small but there was enough room for two people and our luggage. The bed was comfortable.
The sink in the bedroom is small but adequate for washing your hands/teeth. The bathroom is on the small size but there is enough room for WC and shower.
Everything was clean.
In a short time, you can walk/drive to Buckfastleigh, the abbey, the Butterflies and Otters Centre, the South Devon Railway. Totnes, a delightful little town, is a few miles away.
The Abbey Inn, a great pub, is within walking distance from the hotel.

Comfortable stay and value for money
Very helpful owners, accommodating and informative. Room was clean, tidy and comfortable enough for a one night stay whilst passing through the area. The only thing I was missing was a hair dryer but otherwise, I enjoyed staying at Furzeleigh Mill and would consider it again if I ever travel through the area again.

Being made to feel at home should be the goal of every inn and country house, and in this case, they excelled. Ann was a delightful, helpful presence throughout my stay. I felt cared for and appreciated.
