Nice area, good food and drink options, easy parking
We enjoyed our 2 night stay here and we had a very good evening meal.
A little out dated but we expected that as it’s a Moorland hotel and would rather it that way. Very near to the Hotel is the Drakes bike trail and one way is Tavistock and the other is Plymouth so makes excellent place to stay if you like biking😊
Nice rooms for the price, had everything you need. Walls are a bit thin. Owner was a very nice chap. The food in the restaurant was reasonable, overall a pleasant stay
It had a nice room, the hotel is needs a little repair and brightening up but otherwise was okay. Staff were lovely and food was good.

A warm welcome and friendly staff. The food is excellent and the room spacious. We would recommend this hotel for a stay on Dartmoor and also for a meal if you are just passing through.
Outstanding good and friendly service! I was there for two nights and loved it. Also, the Duck Breast for Dinner was one of the best i ever had. Big compliment to the Chef in their kitchen.
Would choose this hotel definitely again!
The staff were great. There was nothing they couldn’t do to help. It really made the stay

Dated but with great service and staff
The hotel is dated but excellent service and friendly staff made it a relaxing and welcoming break for me and my family including the dogs :) Moorland views and walks from your doorstep with a short drive to Plymouth and Yelverton and with the hotel restaurant and large bar area it made for stress free and relaxing place to gather as a family.

Beautiful sea views
So wlit was annover night stay due to visiting friends before heading for a family holiday. Family room was an excellent size with proper beds and mattress for the children. The views from the room were oitbof this world. The staff were very helpful and polite.
Absolutely loved our stay in the superior room.Massive and comfortable, clean and friendly staff.
Only thing we could suggest is a bigger tv and maybe a lift for people who are not able to climb stairs .Absolutely loved our stay.Thankyou
I stayed in the largest room on the top floor which has a large comfy bed a desk and a corner sofa for lounging on to watch TV. Bathroom is large with good shower and jacuzzi bath. The view from the room is amazing looking down towards Plymouth Hoe in the distance.Evening meal was delicious (lamb madras) as was full English breakfast. Staff really nice and very friendly
Staff are freindly and very attentive, genuinely good small team. Food was beautiful and service was great, all costs were proportionate and well worth the money, which was not expensive at all. Great getaway, peaceful and quiet, great location for walking, has a DIY laundry for when needed, art deco a little outdated but the hotel has changed hands many times lately, its clean and comfortable what more do you need. Will be back
Everything was v clean. We stayed in the Wotter Room on the second floor. Yes it could all do with a bit of a paint in patches but the room is charming and huge. The view was amazing - we could see the fireworks in Plymouth the first night that we stayed.
Had a fab Nepalese curry on Wednesday followed by an Indian pudding which was delicious. Steak on the second night.
The hotel is on the edge of Dartmoor but close enough to the local tourist attractions.
We will definitely return.
