Suwayne
This hotel was phenomenal.The check in person so was good.Gave lots of advice.Breakfast and dinner are available.The room was so cozy and gave amenties like water,sweets and biscuit.The room was very clean.The room had laminated pamphlets sheets of information about breakfast,bus times,Thoverton and Exeter town information etc.There is a pub below the rooms which is quite busy in the evenings to nights.This place is well taken care of and they take care of their guests.It is an exceptional place to stay.I stayed 1 night.Imagine if I had stayed longer.I would return.
David
This is a very lovely historic building and as such is quaint and quirky (creaky floors and sticky windows) but that is all character. The room was very comfortable and clean, and the service very friendly and excellent. Breakfast choices a bit limited but very nicely done. A beautiful village to have a wander around. Would use it again as a convenient stopover.
Roy
Very friendly staff. Breakfast was of a very high quality and best of all served up hot.
Will definitely stay again when down in that part of the country.

Amazing location, very quiet and just what I needed after a hard days work. The staff are fantastic, the foods even better. Lots of local drinks available, I was very pleased I chose this location. The room I had was small, but my colleagues was much bigger but that’s the luck of the draw! Overall, I’d highly recommend this location!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable. Food was excellent, and well presented. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
Raymond
The welcome and service we received from all the staff was excellent. The British village pub atmosphere in the bar was great and the beer was first class. The food was also really good with large portions giving excellent value for money. Thank you.
Kenneth
Like friendliness of staff. Good food (plenty).
Joshua
Great stay!
The room was very cosy and clean. The bed was comfy and we both slept really well (in part because it was so quiet too). Massive TV with all streaming services available, tea and coffee making facilities and a powerful electric shower. The room could do with a little bit of touching up and maintenance but this was greatly outweighed by everything mentioned above.
We had a few drinks in the pub both nights we were there and the staff were friendly and helpful. Spacious car park available too.
Overall, really nice stay and would stay again!

Bathroom could use a little TLC but fit for purpose.
Amazing breakfast that more than made up for any minor cosmetic items.
The land-people, actually all of the staff were so welcoming. Definitely worth a visit or night over.

I stayed here for one night while away on business and it was perfect. Room has everything I could have wished for, it was clean and nicely decorated. The pub is lovely and food delicious! Easy parking, friendly staff and nice locals!

We had a lovely stay at the Thorverton Arms, the hosts were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfast was great and they did amazing pub food in the evenings too. The homemade scampi was the best we’ve ever had anywhere!

Very warm welcome from our hostess. Shown to our room which was good value for money as the breakfast was excellent. Room slightly small but very clean. The bathroom although clean was very tired. Light over sink broken.
Had a nice meal in the evening and the bar/restaurant team very helpful and friendly and efficient service.

The property and surrounds were very tired, the room pokey and in serious need of maintenance and decoration. Very pleasant staff and food good thought limited choice.

Not as expected
Sat nav took a round the lanes approach which slow and frustrating. Room ok. Bed very comfortable. Shower and toilet noise a challenge. Thought it would just power up but continuous and must have been troubling for other guests early in morning.

Great venue and great food and beverages

Steve and Mandy were friendly and accommodating hosts in a family run business at the centre of village. Just a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely warm welcome, superb nights sleep….although was a little worse for wear after my old buddies wake. Woke up to a superb hot shower, enormous fluffy towel, and then the most amazing and sumptuous breakfast I have EVER had….and I’ve had some breakfast! The absolute best. Thank you so much for making the end of a tough day really rather lovely. Owners and staff treated me like a regular immediately. In the words of Arnold….ill be back!! X

Thorverton Arms is a very nice pub in a quiet and attractive village. Although it feels as if it is in the middle of the countryside it is convenient for Exeter. There are opportunities for country walks with the millennium green nearby. The pub is clean and the food is good.
Christophe
Lovely stay close to Exeter
Cosy twin bedroom with an en suite (with a lovely power shower) on top of a quiet pub with great food. I am gluten free and the kitchen were very knowledgeable and keen to accommodate my needs. The gluten free fish and chips were to die for. And the cooked breakfast was very generous.
Valerie
We felt well looked after all the staff were friendly and polite.
Laura
The staff were so lovely and helpful, even finding me something after they had finished their shift. A really lovely village pub.
My only comment was not a problem more that it might be useful at this time - some work is being done on the property so it’s currently covered in scaffolding around the front. It worried me at first as it didn’t match the picture online but clear signs helped and the work had no impact on my stay. Room was a little muggy but I purchased a usb fan from the Tesco in Exeter and that was perfect. I sadly didn’t have time to eat there but I imagine the food would be great - it was certainly busy! I only mentioned the noise - I like the window open, patrons chatting outside was nice and they were not late. There was a noise that repeated throughout the evening - possibly a dishwasher? All in all I highly recommend and hope to be back sometime and sample the food. Thank you for a lovely last minute stay.

Made to feel very welcome. Renovations being carried out to front of building, which meant bedroom window could not be opened. Comfortable room and bathroom for both myself and friend, plus our giant dog, who was also made to feel very welcome. Enjoyed the restaurant meal, with large portions. And the village was beautiful, with a dog friendly field just around the corner from the pub. Very enjoyable overnight stay, and would happily stay thete again. It will be even better when the front renovation is finished.
Trevor
Very satisfied

The publicans took over only a month before, and the hotel has been totally refurbished downstairs. It is homely, attractive and comfortable. The publicans are very friendly, and up for a good chat at any time, which is the definition of good country hospitality. I also loved the setting in an idyllic part of the country just outside Exeter. Quite bucolic. I don't know if I shall be in Exeter any time soon, but I would be keen to stay there again if I go.
Paul
A locals pub and quite busy when I turned up. Everyone is friendly. A good evening meal and an excellent breakfast. A good place to stay if you don't want to stay in Exeter.

Lovely over night stay
The shower looks a little tired other than that the staff were very nice and accommodating. Perfect for a over night stay whilst working way. The surroundings in the village were very peaceful. Just about 10-15 minutes from Exeter City Center

Not to bad - needs updating
Room was adequate for the money £50, would not have paid more. Rooms do need updating and extension cables dangerous due to lack of plug sockets. No WiFi in rooms or code given to access this. Nice breakfast and friendly staff but don’t think I’ll stay there again.

The hotel was great , very quiet and a comfortable and clean room . Breakfast also highly recommended ! I would definitely stay again . 😄

Very pretty
Really lovely pub, very pretty and warm. There was no breakfast because of staff shortage, but the room although basic, was clean and tidy and the bed was so comfortable.

Excellent one night stay
Excellent stay for a Christmas party in the area. Good local pub with good beer choices. Breakfast was delicious also and the landlady was very pleasant

Bad timing?
Unfortunate timing I guess but the ere was no food in the evening or cooked breakfast. The owner and manager were very nice and apologetic. But as the pub is pretty isolated it was not ideal. Also decided to close at 10pm.
Hopefully they will get it sorted in the future as they are really nice people and a special mention to Marple the dog.

Very comfortable. The only thing that would have helped is to have been pre-warned that they were not serving food on the evening I arrived.

I was very well received and given a bigger room because there was no WiFi in operation and the owners were on the cusp of a changeover of management. We had a lovely meal in the evening.

Room was very small and beds, nowhere to hang clothes
We waited 2 hours for dinner and it was inedible. Breakfast had no veg option and no effort to make one plus no jams etc to have with toast. Everything was done in cheapest possible way

Very disappointed as no meals available apart from our breakfast, forcing us to travel out for meals. Hotel information on your website shows hotel with full facilities, we would not have booked if we had known. Fell that we were misled when booking.
Not impressed with hotel ot Expedia because of this.
