Property was tired looking,and dark in the ground floor resturant. We learnt it was between owners. Being updated in Jan 2025. Limited menu in evening resturant was disappointing, As it was our wedding anniversary.during our 3 night stay.thought we would eat in.that evening. Burgers and chips was not what we envisaged. Room was nice and clean, Kingfisher. Breakfast staff was sociable with everyone. Food hot.

Excellent Night's Stay
We had a lovely one night stay at the abbey Inn... Very friendly host... as it was our anniversary they had even decorated the table for us for our evening meal.!! Very clean, but very quirky especially the room, but that's part of the charm of staying in an inn.... Amazing setting right on the River dart with seating outside to have a pint or two. A temporarily limited menu but still a very good choice which was very tasty and very reasonably priced. The room itself was clean and tidy, the bed was shall we say was very bouncy and a very soft mattress, however slept well. We have stayed there several times before and we will do so again. 10 minute walk to buckfast abbey and another 15 to 20 minutes walk into town. Breakfast choices and quality was excellent!!
