“Dartmoor Lodge Hotel strikes me as a particularly warm and welcoming place, and its location right on Dartmoor's edge is ideal for active travellers; the hotel is family-owned, which perhaps explains why it goes the extra mile with things like tailored menus and a drying room for hiking gear. The South West Wedding Awards recognised the hotel's special touch, and I can certainly see its appeal for celebrations.”
