利夫頓霍爾飯店(Lifton Hall Hotel)

First time we have eaten here for a while and first time in the bar area. Came here with friends for a late 60th birthday celebration. Ambience is excellent, but not the best of welcomes at the bar. A young lady served us with some drinks before we sat down to view the menus but she didn’t really communicate well with us, she was clearly busy but didn’t at any point say I will be with you in a minute. Not a massive issue as after this she was excellent in all aspects of service. The food was excellent, with no complaints from any of us, a couple of us had the sea food medley and the Asian style fish starter, Thai curry and vegetarian chilli were also They also had a rather nice French Merlot by the glass. Slight issue with Birra Moretti on tap, which was a little flat. All in all a really good night, will be back again no doubt.

We had a buy-a-gift voucher gifted to us and chose Lifton Hall because it isn't too far away but still felt like we'd gone out for the afternoon. The pub was fairly busy with others doing the same. Our table was laid for our afternoon tea (farmer's plate) and once seated the drinks (a mini bottle of prosecco each) and food arrived. The food was nicely presented and clearly home made. A savoury pasty, a pair of sandwiches - cheese and cucumber with beef, horseradish and tomato and a mug of soup. The pasty was fine, the sandwiches were really fresh and on a lovely grained bread. Horseradish lovely and fiery, offset by the cool slice of tomato. We both found the soup a little odd, nice but not really of any one taste. I think the server said it was blackbean with chilli. It wasn't hot and I could taste lemongrass. I would have preferred a bowl (perhaps a nice rounded french onion soup bowl) as the lumps in the soup were difficult to 'drink' from the mug and there was no spoon to help. It was ok though and we both finished it. The sweet tray was devine. A beautifully light and fluffy plain scone, clotted cream and strawberry jam. Despite being over the border, we ate it in the Cornish fashion! The light fruit cake was tasty and the chocolate nut brownie sublime. We both had coffee which was presented in a cafetiere but it wasn't a great tasting coffee which was a shame as the whole afternoon tea experience was very tasty otherwise. Washed down with the mini prosecco it did us well and I would thoroughly recommend.

Another one of our regular lunches at Lifton hall & had their festive afternoon tea... delicious. Everything was so tasty & made to perfection, 10 out of 10. Karen as always was so friendly and up for a giggle with us, which makes it feel like your amongst friends. See you pizza night!

Do not waste your time!!! They do not appreciate your custom and they are not in the slightest bit welcoming. We are locals living in the same village hand have always found them unfriendly but this is the final straw and we will now not return. We were told we could not order drinks at the bar while waiting for our table to be ready even though we arrived 3 minutes prior to our booking time. They should also have a ‘no children’ notice as children are absolutely not welcome. The owner him self shouted at a 3 year old for running from his table to the toilet. What a shame!

We had a delicious lunch this afternoon! Service was very welcoming and friendly. Attentive but not intrusive. Portion sizes were very generous and the menu had a great deal of variety. The venue itself was very clean and tidy including the bathrooms. Would absolutely recommend and return! Thank you

Good size room, very comfy bed. Exceptional breakfast. Lots of vegan options for dinner. The bar area had a great, old pub feel to it. Lovely, friendly staff, especially the owner/chef. We only stayed one night as we were passing through but hope to go back for the food alone!

We broke down on the A30 and had to find a place to stay for the night very very last min (10pm) and found Lifton Hall only a few mins away, probably the best breakdown ever. Richard and Rob are the best hosts, the room was perfect and the food was on point. We found our perfect getaway for our future Devon trips. We will definitely go back. Oh and ask Rob about his pottery ❤️

My husband and I total enjoyed our stay. Room was just perfect. Food absolutely delicious. Dealt with allergies brilliantly. Would highly recommend staying and eating here. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

My wife had an issue with the quality of her meal which put her off eating all together. When I mentioned it to the chef he seemed very defensive and didn't even apologise & still charged us. Bar hostess was lovely polite & welcoming though. Unfortunately we will not be returning.
