The Fountain Inn & Riverside Restaurant

Lovely characterful, old building with free parking. Central location. Comfortable room, that was clean and warm. Lovely decoration. Great staff.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast was very good. Our only comment would be that it would be better served in the dining area rather than the bar so there would be more room. However, the quality and service overall were good. The room itself was comfortable, if a little small but the ensuite shower room was spacious and clean. The hot water pipes went through our room so it was very warm but a fan had been provided and we were able to open the window which made this more bearable. We were at the back of the property and it was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the stream outside. For the price we paid we were extremely happy. Also the location was perfect for visiting Okehampton with access to the train station and Granite Way walk nearby.

Central location with the convenience of a carpark. The rooms were nicely appointed with little touches like mint chocolates on the bedside tables. The breakfast menu was reasonably extensive and the food itself was freshly cooked and delicious. All of the staff we encountered were warm, friendly and professional.

We only stayed one night so this review is limited. This is a pub in a very old and quaint building which makes it a very interesting place to stay and Okehampton is a pleasant and interesting town. We stayed on a Saturday night so there was music in the bar until quite late - despite this we were not disturbed in our room by the noise which is a bonus for staying in a pub! The room was comfortable and the en suite fine. We would, however, make special mention of Tina who was marvellous. She was always very busy but still made time to make us very welcome and chat to us whilst attending to a very busy bar. Also despite looking after the bar until late, there she was all smiling serving all the B&B customers at breakfast - I asked her if she was a robot to have such stamina!!

Excellent bedroom, huge shower room, very clean and quiet. Food in the restaurant was excellent. The bar staff were great, very pleasant, chatty and helpful. On site parking was easy. Location was excellent for the town.
