This is a bed and breakfast 16th century Inn on the main thoroughfare through Okehampton. The pub part is tired and in need of a refit. The riverside restaurant is no longer open so you sit in a small dining area for your food that is not inkeeping with what you would expect. I had an evening meal here and... More

Do NOT go here to stay or to eat. Went here for dinner in September '12, the restaurant was very quiet as was the garden/pub, we waited 1 hour and 5 minutes for our food to arrive and upon notifying the management of our disappointment at waiting we were met with a barrage of abuse from the OWNER!

I would definitely NOT recommend using this hotel. Apparently it has changed hands and this appears to give the new owners reason to give away a pre booked room. We had no apology, were shrugged at and treated with extreme indifference by a man who may or may not have been the new owner. It all of seemed to be... More

We have visited this hotel for food on several occasions & we have to say we have never been disappointed. Situated on the main road going through Okehampton it easy to find & a good stop off when we go shopping there. As we live in Devon we do travel around to find good places to eat for when our...

I have stayed at The Fountain several times now and it is a truly fantastic place. The building is full of character and the courtyard garden is fabulous. Friendly staff, great food and a large selection of local ales make this one of my favourite places to stay when we are cycling in the area. The open fire is also... More

Great location, and friendly staff, but there it ends. This hotel has potential but it isn't being taken care of. Room...peeling wall paper, really mouldy shower cubicle, dirty carpets broken step, table lamp not working.... doesn't take a lot to correct any of these, if there is a will. Potentially good restaurant and food, but we waited for over 10... More
