Cosy and welcoming hotel on the edge of Dartmoor
Pros:

Breakfast was really good and set us up for the day, staff were super cheerful and polite, every morning even Ernie (Daxie) got a sausage for breakfast. We really enjoyed the Eggs Royal and American Pancakes. Our bedroom was massive and the bed was very comfortable, we had to turn the heating off and open the window as it was super warm on arrival. We ate in the restaurant both nights of our stay, staff were very efficient and on the Friday night locals were also dining and that added some extra atmosphere, its a nice cheery room. I wasn't blown away by the food, but it was tasty enough and super convenient to eat there after a long day out on the moors. The location was great for visiting both Dartmoor and the coast line. I only choose the hotel because it allowed dogs, however we all really enjoyed our stay there and would go back and stay again.

Cons:

It would have been great if there was free parking close to the hotel, but to be fair it was super easy to use the app to pay for the carpark on the corner and reasonably price at less than 10 for 48 hours.

Our bedroom was lovely and comfortable, but the window glass had blown so unable to see the beautiful view. The shower could do with a bit of an update.

amazing value on the edge of dartmoor
Pros:

Amazing value - even after you have paid for parking in the nearby car park (cash or ringo app, no cards, when we were there). Quite busy in the hotel (at a weekend) as a result but that was fine. Our room was in the old bit so creaky floors and very slight noise from the lounge below, room above and traffic in the street. Delicious dinner and good breakfast. cheerful and helpful staff. comfortable bed.

Cons:

all good
