Location, parking, staff, restaurant, bar and beds were all great. Clean too but the building is old and could do with some updating. Price reflected this though so not an issue. Staff were above great and really made the experience pleasurable. Views of Plymouth Sound were spectacular. Across the road you are instantly on Dartmoor. Being able to take our dogs was the best about it all. Someone even brought their horse and tethered them in the small field whilst they came in for a drink. Thank you we will visit again.

This was my second time staying at this hotel. The staff are so lovely and friendly and make it a very enjoyable experience. I also love how quiet the area is - on the moor so I sleep very well here!

Room was clean with plenty of amenities amd an abundance of rea making facilities. Staff were really friendly and attentive. My only criticism is that parts of thr romm/hotel were started to look a little tired. A remote control which is actually readable would also be a big help. Location is fantastic with views out to Plymouth Sound

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😊

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.
