Very quiet hamlet near the river Avon estuary as it discharges into the English channel so very pretty setting. Close to Burgh Island which I could just see the top of from my upstairs bedroom window. Very plain inside the pub; lovely friendly staff; had a main evening meal, not particularly good, very dry fish pie which had been microwaved to death and the following day all three of us had a dicky stomach and the runs. Streptococci no doubt. Over cooked poached eggs for breakfast but otherwise breakfast and choices ok. Wouldn't go back.

Great stay and area.

3 nights stay which was lovely. We had dinner in the restaurant each evening and enjoyed the food. The position is great really quiet area but close to Salcombe if you wish and also the coastal path. We will be back.

Disappointed

Surprised the cleanliness was not adequate at all, bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly, bedroom cobwebs, dusty, a real shame as was a special occasion. Dinner and breakfast was good. When we asked for extra tea/milk it never materialised... Good location.

Flawed but something special

Amazing location, incredible beach, food was excellent, but parking is a major problem and be warned it's a few miles of single lane with passing places to get there. Also you need to book a dinner a few days in advance and there is nowhere else to get food. Place needs better upkeep. You had to barge our room door to open, my wife could not. The bathroom door would not close. The shaver light did not work. Minor annoyances on service. Room had three sheets of toilet paper. We asked for more and they gave us one roll of cheap paper. Had to ask for another roll every breakfast. One of the best breakfasts I have had at a b&b So if you just want a hide away retreat with a stunning beach and great local walks and you book the restaurant in advance then this would be great. As a base for exploring the area not so!

The Room with the swinging Sign

In difficult times the staff tried very hard. Distancing well organised. Two staff forgot to bring a jug of water to the table during supper. Chicken dish was uncooked. Sticky tables. (they are everywhere these days - I HATE this) The swinging sign kept us awake for two nights, ask for some WD40 and string to no avail. (Management knew about this problem) Room was not serviced after 1st night. Asked to re-use towels - Heated towel rail did not work. Returned home early.

A super little place, a country pub with a lively atmosphere. The room was spotless and comfortable with a proper bathroom. The shower was a bit tricky to adjust but fine in the end. The breakfast was excellent. Bantham is a really unspoilt corner of Devon.

Great Getaway.

The Sloop Inn was in a beautiful setting at Bantham, with a real ‘get away from everything’ feel. We had the cheaper room which was comfortable but compact with a great en-suite. We peeked in the more expensive rooms as they were unoccupied and they were much larger with fabulous views. The bar was very lively in the evening with a good vibe, the staff very friendly and the included breakfasts were huge and good quality. We didn’t eat dinner here but the menu looked amazing.
