Very Pleasant Stay
Staff were very welcoming and helpful, a nice stay and hoping to go back again next time I'm working in the area. Quality of Wifi was pretty bad unfortunately.. but that was the only opportunity for improvement i thought.. everything else was spot on. Oh.. the steak pie was delicious.. I had it 3 times.. More pastry would make it perfect in my eyes.

Easy to find. Needs a bit of updating. Staff friendly good food at night breakfast was filling and nice. Handy for the gorge very close by, and the pub with the highway theme.

Perfect place to stay
Great secluded Inn on the edge of Dartmoor with many walks starting from its doorstep. Good food, good beer and great service. Very friendly atmosphere and the dogs were made especially welcome. Room was dated but clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay again. Helios.

We loved the location and the beautiful view of Dartmoor from our room. The room was quite comfortable and accommodated our 2 teenagers. Lots of hot water to shower. Breakfast was fantastic as was the one evening meal we ate in.

Could do better
We only discovered late in the day that the hotel would be closing early. Therefore no one to meet us when we arrived and no food available. We only picked up the message left for us by chance and were able to make alternative dining arrangements. Otherwise would have been a disaster. Breakfast was good though.

A lovely old building with large rooms and high ceilings with bedrooms overlooking Dartmoor. A nice log burner in the bar gave a welcoming atmosphere and the building was full of character. Being an old building it did look a bit tired in places but that is to be expected in a building over 100 years old.

Underwhelmed
Wasn't as bad as other places I have been too but the welcome to the hotel was poor , got rushed around and the room wasn't ready , which we didn't mind waiting for but as we got to the room was too much of a strong smell of bleach and was damp on cellings. Could have been better a bit disappointed we paid £105 for the night. I wouldn't have paid that much for that , sorry.

Little Gem
Due to Covid there were the obvious restrictions in place however our stay was very pleasant. My grandson called it a little gem, the location was ideal for our visit to Dartmoor, the food was very good, staff friendly and the breakfast set us up for the day.

Hot short break
Room was on the front overlooking road. Due to the excessive heat the windows needed to be open, the noise from the road was +++ until late at night and early in the morning made sleeping difficult. Other than that the hotel was ok for what we wanted.

A great country hotel
Great welcome by friendly, helpful staff. Stayed in a family room, with a double and single bed. The single was a Queen size and the double was 2 Queen size, pushed together! Never had so much space in a family room. We didn't have dinner at the hotel, as we were at a wedding reception nearby, but the menu looked quite reasonable. Breakfast in the morning was definitely above average. It's so rare to find a hotel breakfast where the chef knows how to cook bacon properly 😁 We would definitely stay here again as the quality of service and comfort was exceptional value.

Excellent stay in western Dartmoor
Freshly-decorated, characterful and super-friendly hotel. Family room was enormous and we were delighted after a long afternoon trek to be able to ease aching bones in a bath. Evening menu had plenty of options and everything we ate was delicious and hearty. Huge portions with ingredients locally sourced. Breakfast set us up for the whole day. Overall, a delightful find. This place is great value and highly recommend it. Camping and caravan pitches onsite too.

Great Location but a Few Issues...
Beautiful location but pub/hotel currently in state of repair. In fairness, they did call me before my stay to let me know and I also think this was reflected in the excellent price I paid. Shame though as the smell of paint was very strong and there were no carpets on the stairs or in the hallway. On arrival, I had to wait for a waiter to see to me. He just gave me the key and took me to the room. I wasn't told about Wi-Fi or breakfast. So, I went downstairs at around 7am but no-one was about. I went out of a bit and came back at 7.45 but still no-one about so left for a full days filming on the moors with no breakfast. Huge potential to be a cool hotel so would possibly go back once decorating is finished.
