“This place truly shines on the edge of Dartmoor, where the views from rooms are consistently described as exceptional, often stretching to the distant sea. The kitchen, driven by Nepalese heritage, delivers remarkably flavourful curries and other dishes that stand out. While some areas might benefit from a refresh, the genuine warmth of the staff and the incredible value make it a compelling choice for those seeking a tranquil escape.”
