Olde world pub hotel
Pros:

The room first given to us was tiny, the smallest in the hotel and not the one I reserved. It was an atic space on the hottest day of the year. As soon as I mentioned that there wasn't enough room bed length (husband 6'4") and room size(slopped beamed ceilings), they moved us to the only other empty room, which was fine. Not sure why we were given tiny one in the first place. Breakfast was fab. Staff were lovely. Fixtures and fittings very dated (1970/80).

Pros:

Nice people but the place requires a real freshen up. Sadly the room didn’t smell fantastically fresh which meant the window needed to be open all night and with the passing traffic noise it was very difficult to sleep. The room felt very 70’s but sadly not in a good way

Lovely place on Dartmoor - excellent food and beer
Pros:

Really nice place - great fire, excellent food and beer. Room was just what I needed (and they surprised me with an upgrade). Staff were lovely. 12 hours solid sleep - couldn't have asked for more. Able to pre-order breakfast if wanted enabled me to have a lie in.

The food ( dinner and breakfast) was beautifully cooked. The homely atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. The staff helpful and the room had everything you need and was clean and tidy. The pub also smile English and I appreciated that it retained that . Nice to have free parking outside the door.

Very Pleasant Stay
Pros:

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.

Perfect place to stay
Pros:

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.
