the Dartmoor bnb

Great location, ideal if you're planning to visit different parts of Dartmoor Paddy was really welcoming and helpful, and went out of his way to help us before we'd even arrived - there was a road closure near to the bnb and Google Maps was going to send us on a huge diversion, but we called Paddy and he was able to tell us which way to go to cut miles off our journey. Then when we checked in we were told we'd been moved from the budget room we'd booked to one of the ensuite rooms. All much appreciated! The room was simple but cosy, with everything we needed, plenty of sockets for charging things, and the comfiest bed we've ever stayed in. It was really quiet overnight so we both had a great night's sleep We had dinner and breakfast at the bnb and all the food was delicious

Nothing we didn't like about the bnb itself - the room could perhaps do with an extractor fan or better ventilation, but appreciate that's always going to be hard with an old building in the middle of Dartmoor! Just worth noting for any nervous drivers, it's along a single track road so perhaps allow extra journey time - we're used to these sorts of roads and didn't have any problems but imagine it could be a bit daunting to anyone not used to rural driving

Ambiance authentique !

Stunning location and a generous breakfast.

Nothing really, just what we wanted.

The location is good, that's all.

The poor condition of the accomodation, it was dirty and cold. The carpets are disgusting, kettle covered in dust, coffee tray at breakfast was filthy, walls and ceiling cobwebby. Checked in at 3pm (December) to find that the heating was on a timer and our room was cold, noone knew when the heating would come on - the host did get a small portable heater in the meantime. Curtains and met curtain were undersize to the window leaving gaps.

Paddy was so friendly & helpful with advice on walks & places to go. The food, both breakfast & dinner, was really excellent, the breakfast sets you up perfectly for a day out walking. The room was comfortable with everything you need, & set in a beautifully quiet location. The pub had friendly staff & a good atmosphere, with locals drinking there, which is always a good sign. Gorgeous location, tucked away & quiet but easy to get to the surrounding areas.

The only thing that stopped me giving 10 stars was that the shower could be more powerful. But it was plenty hot, & certainly won't put me off going back again.
