Thorverton Arms - Exeter

Friendly, comfortable hotel in the peaceful village of Thorverton. Tasty food in the atmospheric restaurant. Varied menu and able to cope with most diets including gluten free.

My brother and I, aged 10 and 9, like to write reviews. Our review of this restaurant is that we had a good time, but were disappointed to find out they did not offer hot chocolate drinks. The service was great, but the background noise from the speakers and TV was a bit distracting. We plan to visit again in the hopes that they will have hot chocolate available next time.

My husband and I visited this charming old pub twice during our 3-day getaway in Thorverton. On both occasions, we received a warm welcome from the delightful staff. We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a meal, and it was excellent. I highly recommend the curry, and my husband enjoyed the liver and bacon which he said was delicious. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Thank you.

The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast cooked by Steve and hosted by Mandy was outstanding. Their dedication to making us feel welcome was evident. The atmosphere of the restaurant had a cozy pub and B&B vibe. I wish I lived closer, as I would love to visit again. It's clear that these guys know how to run a successful establishment. 10/10 – see you soon!

Very disappointed this time round. We stayed last year and the customer service was good, as was the atmosphere. This year, under new management, we found zero customer service. My parents were feeling unwell 2 days into our 3 night stay so we had to leave a night early. On departure I was not asked if everything was ok. Just took the keys and said bye, not even safe journey or hope to see you again soon or, how was your stay/your room etc. Also, the towels, tea, coffee, milk was not replenished in the rooms, nor were the beds made during our 2 out of 3-night stay. The rooms were so noisy, as we were near a door that smokers were going in and out of, so it was constant banging of that door day and night. At the very least they need to put some rubber stoppers on that door as it's in constant use until late in the night and makes a terrible banging noise for the rooms. We will not return to this B&B under its current management with total lack of customer service in our experience.
