    An absolute highlight of our trip

    The warmest friendly fun owners and staff made our stay a favourite on our travels. The breakfast is amazingly generous and the restaurant food delicious. Meeting locals for a drink and chat and a few laughs added to the enjoyment. It felt like we were staying with Family. A great location from which to explore stunning Dartmoor National Park. On any return visit to UK we will be sure to visit again. Thankyou so much and congratulations on an amazing home away from home.

    Room was a little snug, no room for 2 to site at a table and limited storage. Weather was bad but there was ample seating outside for sunnier times

    Staff where very friendly and made you feel very welcome. Plenty of time for a chat. Food was fantastic.

    The condensation in the bathroom. But it’s Devon. I should expect that.

    Nothing could have been better.

    Choice of breakfast was very good, particularly as i am vegetarian. Evening meals excellent. Staff were most helpful arranging an extra bed when they hadn't got the message that we wanted twin beds not a double. Several real ales available. Garden was exceptional with sun loungers, picnic tables and a telescope to see the dark skies over Dartmoor!

    Unfortunately the bed was really hard so didn't get the best nights sleep but this is personal preference and everything else was perfect.

    Very friendly staff, great breakfast and lovely standalone rooms that felt very private. Cute animals including pigs in the garden!

    It would have been good to be able to have fresh fruit as a breakfast choice. The restaurant isn’t open on Sunday evening so we had to go to the next village for a meal.

    Lovely location with views over the countryside. Cosy pub restaurant. Good choice of beers. Plenty of choices for breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Not far from Tavistock and local walks.

    The small bedroom

    The location is excellent! Our bedroom Wheal Betsy was immaculate, although next time, I will book a bigger room to benefit from the extra space. The view from our bedroom was far reaching. We ate in the restaurant and it was delicious food. Highly recommended.
