Your Country Escape in Dartmoor

The hotel's restaurant showcases locally sourced, freshly prepared cuisine, complemented by a carefully curated bar and a newly built south-facing terrace.We host seasonal events including gin nights and food-and-wine pairings, while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability by eliminating single-use plastics and adopting eco-friendly practices. As a family-operated business, we prioritise warm hospitality, aiming to create unforgettable experiences for our guests through personal attention and a deep appreciation for Dartmoor's natural beauty.
