    Obviously their standards aren't very high. We weren't going to write a review but on reading review's since nothing has improved. main bedroom:Dirty tissues.cotton wool,and other things left in draws cupboards and under the bed. smelly wardrobe,broken tap in bathroom. Main bathroom: Hot water tap not working,shower smelt of urine,fumes coming back in the vent from boiler this could cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Kitchen: Cobwebs,food in dirty cupboards, chipped and cracked crockery and cooking utensils,toaster full of crumbs,kettle full of water,no proper bin,nothing matching,cobwebs in glasses,had to wash what we needed to use. Sitting room: Broken blinds,no internet box just the lead,smelt of dogs and dogs hair all over carpet,ripped curtain,dirt under cushions on sofas. Outside: Slippery entrance, uneven slabs that send water up your legs when you walk on them, no dust bin or recycling bins. Badly sign posted we ended up on a farm a few miles away where a lovely lady gave us directions. This could be a much better place in different hands.Needs a good deep clean and D.I.Y done. There is no attention to detail which is needed.

About the location

BAMPTON, DEVON

Dulverton 6 miles; Tiverton 7.5 miles.

Bampton is a wonderfully peaceful Devon village situated in a wooded valley on the banks of the River Batherm, a tributary of the River Exe, close to the Exmoor National Park. Bampton offers lovely Georgian cottages and houses, a good range of shops and is famous for its floral displays, pony fair and folk festival. The towns of Dulverton and Tiverton are close by and offer plenty of amenities, plus there are many country pursuits on offer in this rural area, including fishing on the two reservoirs at Wimbleball and Clatworthy, Exmoor safaris through dramatic windswept moors, walking the Exe Valley Way, horseriding across the moor and cycling along the Lowman Way. Further afield is the beautiful North Devon coastline with stunning walks, small coves, sandy beaches and views across to Wales. Bampton provides an ideal base for exploring North Devon and the Exmoor National Park.
