Room was plenty big enough, nicely furnished, quiet and comfortable, with a clean and tidy bathroom, good shower and lots of tea and coffee. We didn't eat dinner here as we'd mad alternative arrangements beforehand. Breakfast in the morning was freshly cooked to order, hot and tasty. The buffet breakfast was ample as well. Plenty of coffee. Dinner menu was staple pub food.

Having driven all day from N Wales, we were looking around Bampton for somewhere for an evening meal and a quiet drink. Bampton has some posh and very expensive eateries, but none of these really appealed to us, so we wandered up the hill from our B&B to The Quarryman's and stuck our head through the door. What a lovely surprise! A proper pub with a roaring fire , comfy table to sit at , friendly landlord and locals, dogs welcomed and an unpretentious reasonably priced menu. Heaven! I thought such places had disappeared with the advent of the gastro pub and TV Chef brigade. We settled down in the lounge, had drinks to our table (local cider and a big G&T! , and ordered a curry and a ham egg and chips! Can't recommend highly enough.

As soon as we walked in, the landlord made us feel right at home. We ordered our drinks and relaxed on the leather sofas next to the fireplace. The food came quickly and was clearly made in-house, flavorful, and affordable. The onion rings were especially delicious. The beer was well-maintained and the Tribute pint was one of the best I've had. Overall, I highly recommend this pub and will definitely be returning."
