“I found this to be a classic, community-focused inn with a great location near Dartmoor National Park. The hotel particularly stands out with its full disabled access and dog-friendly policy, plus the staff seems consistently helpful; the karaoke nights add a touch of local flavor, too. I see it as an excellent value for those exploring the area.”
