Teignbridge District Vacations & Trips from $1,995

The Cridford Inn is a wonderful, very old, country inn with a thatched roof, flagstones, dark oak everywhere....dripping with character. It's a little off the beaten track but worth the effort. Unfortunately we hadn't reserved a table for dinner so had to be squeezed in at the end of evening service, but the food was excellent and worth the wait. The same applied to breakfast....we hadn't booked a breakfast slot and so were put at the back of the queue. We must have missed something that told us we had to book a breakfast timing before arrival....we'll know next time. Our large and atmospheric room was chilly because the weather happened to be awful and it took quite a while for the heating to be able to work, which made the room less appealing than it might otherwise have been. These are minor irritations.....on the plus side, the owners and their team (rushed off their feet because the place is obviously popular) couldn't have been friendlier. Food was very good, the (Jail Ale) beer of top quality and, joy of joys, there's EV charging on site (a real bonus considering that the Cridford is fairly remote). On a warm summer's evening, alerted to the fact that we needed to reserve a breakfast time and having also thought to have reserved a time for dinner, this would have been a blissful stay; little niggles like the heating, not being able to have breakfast when we wanted and a few imperfections in room cleaning took the shine off a little, but we would definitely book again.

The flat itself was very good. A great location, big and airy, a bit shabby chic but nice. The service from the local agent (PlumLocations) was terrible. We confirmed availability of, booked, and paid in advance for a late check-out but they unilaterally cancelled at short notice, without offering any mitigation such as somewhere to store our suitcases and hence leaving us nursing bulky suitcases for a couple of hours. Pretty shabby customer service.

This stay was absolutely amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. No noise in the hallway at night at all. Alex who checked us in and out couldn’t have been more helpful. The spa was lovely and clean and made us feel extremely relaxed. We will be back again 😊
