Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mixed experience with perfect rooms fitting the countryside ambiance but marred by some noise and darkness. The service is exceptional despite being over-worked at times. The incredible location stands out, even though outdoor activities were limited by heavy rain. The dining experience had some forgetful moments but was well-serviced and presented.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The four-poster bed in the room was a lovely touch and the overall decor was impressive. However, the damp smell and gloomy atmosphere were major drawbacks. The location was beautiful and great for a getaway, but the loud noise from the bar was a bit disruptive. The service was top-notch overall, but the incident with the dog in the lounge was off-putting. The dining options were satisfactory, but some dishes fell short. The facilities met basic needs, but there were limitations.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were traditionally decorated, clean, and comfortable, showcasing lovely photos of Dartmoor farmers and landscapes. However, my room felt small and a bit cramped, and I thought it was overpriced for what it offered.
The hotel is nestled in a beautiful valley with the River Dart running through the gardens, offering a peaceful night away on the moor. The rooms, although showing the wear and tear of time, are traditional, really spacious, and comfortable. The service provided is a mix of incredibly polite and helpful staff alongside occasional offhand interactions. The location is perfect for walking across Dartmoor, with lovely views and great walks nearby. The dining experience enhances the stay with local fresh products, although room for improvement exists. The facilities are sufficient, catering to the basic needs of guests.
