Fantastic location along with great staff. The food was also excellent.
Close to Tiverton and the M5. Realy central to mid Devon and the moors.
Old world place with modern facilities, the staff ensure you are welcome and they are helpful at all times. Breakfast was great and many choices. Plenty of parking.

We had a nice stay here.
Very handy for a bus into Exeter or Tiverton. Rooms and public toilets were clean but needing to be updated, very tired.
The staff were nice and helpful but with the amount of visitors they were at times overwhelmed. This caused a long wait at the bar at times to be served.
Breakfast and evening meals were excellent.

Unfortunately not dog friendly in bar or restaurant. Music in breakfast room far too loud.
No shelf in bathroom, flush on toilet not working properly, no detachable spray on shower to wash hair. Food just about average. Poor selection of beers. Staff not particularly helpful or friendly, forgot to put notice on door please service, therefore no top up of milk and tea provisions. The only good thing was the bed was comfortable and the view of the river was nice.

Only stayed one night, to break up our journey.
Easy booking via Expedia, easy to find with ample parking. Lovely friendly welcome at reception by Lil.
We had a nice, spacious, spotlessly clean room with
A Patio !
We couldn't resist the Sunday carvery which was very nice, as was the breakfast the next morning.
So with a lovely location, nice friendly staff giving great service, what is not to like.
Thanks to all of your hardworking staff & looking forward to visiting again soon.

We spent 2 nights at Fisherman's Cot. Our room was of a good size with a large comfortable bed. The bathroom was in need of renovation, with no privacy curtain at the window, & a light that flickered at best. We had a great view of the River Exe & the old bridge from our window. Breakfast each day was good, and the staff in the breakfast room lovely, although the coffee was instant - a bit of a let down.

I was staying for 1 night as a stop-over on way to Falmouth. The accommodation didn't look great from outside but the rooms were clean with decent space and patio doors onto a small veranda and a shared green space with access to the pub gardens.

The riverside pub was good - nice to sit out and enjoy the evening sun. Food was disappointing - £16 for an underwhelming burger.

I would recommend - especially at this price point and would definitely stay again.

Fisherman's Cot is in a stunning setting and could be beautiful. Unfortunately it is in desperate need of an upgrade. Rotting woodwork, flaking and rusting ironwork, power lines hanging across the site, unswept areas and litter spoil an idylic setting. The staff are mainly very helpful and pleasant, but obviously under pressure too. Some staff need training in customer service and attention.

Overall good, but cleanliness requires improvement

Overall a great location, friendly and helpful staff, and our room was on the ground floor with its own patio area which was great.
The food was good and a good selection of drinks, but a little overpriced and service was very slow. Breakfast was excellent and service was improved for this.

The room wasnt the cleanest with lots of webs and spiders in the corners, and a few bits on the carpet. The tables in the pub and outside were also very cluttered with old glasses that hadnt been cleared away, coupled with dirty/sticky tables.
Shame really because its a great location with great potential!

Apart from the fact that it sits on a canal and has great views while having a pint, nothing else worked for us, the room had such small roof that it was very difficult to walk within the room. The breakfast is forgettable and service too to some extent was miserable, maybe because it was a long weekend and the staff looked exhausted. The price that we had to pay for the last minute booking was not worth it, the original price that they ask for over the weekdays is still worth itm

Great location, wonderful friendly staff, comfy beds, plenty of parking and great breakfasts. Only downside was the height of the bathroom ceiling, but we were in the loft space with a great view of the river.

The room was comfortable and clean although the area outside of the accommodation building was very tatty.
There seemed to be a shortage of staff which meant slow service at the bar and 15 minutes wait for someone to come and check us in.

Good location

The room was big and clean. Bathroom was outdated. Not many windows can open so it was a bit warm inside.

Property had everything we needed for a one night stay. Unfortunately our room was in the roof (9) We are both tall and the low beams meant that we had to stoop most of the time.

Great riverside location and an excellent restaurant. The room was modern well appointed and clean. However the soundproofing between the room I stayed in was poor - I wonder if my snoring disturbed my neighbours as much as their \"nocturnal activies' did me!

Relaxing, enjoyable stay

Lovely clean and comfortable room, we requested a double (as room could also be a twin), and the room was set up without any issues.

We ate at the restaurant every night, and the food was wonderful.

Due to local road resurfacing, when we booked the restaurant online (as we were sightseeing), we were called by the hotel to advise us of the roadworks, which was appreciated.

Amazing location & clean, comfortable room. We booked in for dinner which was a little disappointing as there was a 90minute wait for mains, with no warning when ordering via the QR code as instructed. When the meals came they were small portions and and overcooked (steak & chips). They did appear to be short-staffed.
We had also booked in for breakfast (The full works) so had low expectations, but actually we only waited 30mins, which was perfect as it gave us chance to have a hot drink and pastries beforehand & the breakfast portion was wonderful and very tasty!
To be honest, the location was so fab, I will definitely return in the future.

Fishermans Cot is situated in a truly beautiful position beside the River Exe. Many of the roads in the area are very narrow and demading, especially if you are unable to occasionally reverse on meeting a caravan in tow or a wide vehicle. Food at the hotel was good in quality apart from the Continental Breakfast that had a poor and very limited variety of items. Staff were very friendly and attentive; accommodation warm, clean and comfortable and overall value and eg bar prices competitive.
