“I found a certain charm in this reimagined 18th-century quarry house, particularly its position on the River Dart. It strikes me as a smart choice for families seeking a relaxed base from which to explore Dartmoor National Park. The dedicated dog-friendly areas also stood out, along with those inviting outdoor spots for a meal by the water.”

The staff was very helpful and provided local tips. Breakfast offered halloumi as a vegetarian option. My husband enjoyed the perfectly cooked full English. Tables outside made use of the riverside location. The bar was accessible. The room was clean, tidy, and exactly as expected.
The shower cubicle was a little small.
Location

The location sits right on the river edge. Watching the water flow is very relaxing. The Abbey is a short walk away. This makes visiting very easy, though the parking area is good.
Facilities
