Small but lovely room, hot shower, comfy bed. Breakfast was fantastic and the evening meal was also very good in the restaurant. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Very nice lounge also available to guests to chill out in. Location was fantastic. It was really peaceful, with a beautiful short walk down a wooded glen to the back of the Inn - so picturesque. At the top of the road - a short walk from the Inn, is the start of a fantastic walk across the moors, through historic points of interest eg foundations of medieval village, clapper bridge across a stream etc. The walk returned through a field of blue bells (month of May). It was exceptional.

Room was a bit tight for large luggage

The building is quaint. The bed was comfortable and the room furnishings were good- with three chairs. The bar manager was particularly efficient and helpful. The food was good.

I made a mistake of booking a room on the top floor, the stairs were a bit arduous for my husband and I, although we survived. One of our bathroom walls and window surround could do with a good clean or repaint. A pet hate of mine.. the pull switch on the mirror light over the sink needed replacing _ it was dirty. Parking is a bit hit and miss.. they do have a car park behind the building but it meant steps again.

The welcome was lovely -- very friendly, professional staff during the whole stay. The room was clean, beautiful, with a great view, quiet and comfortable. We had dinner, which was excellent -- unhurried, imaginative without being gimicky, perfect tastes and combinations. Breakfast was also great with good choices. We arrived on a sunny afternoon and it was lovely to be able to sit in the beautiful garden with a drink and appreciated that they had a good range of non-alcoholic options too.

There was nothing to dislike.

We were in the area for work and stayed Sunday night. We arrived late for Sunday lunch and the staff were really nice and nothing was a problem. The food was fantastic and good value. We were very impressed with the room on the top floor. Very big, lovely spacious bathroom with bath tub and separate shower. We would have loved to explore the area, but we only had time to have a quick walk…but what a walk! It is right next to some stunning views and rocks and we saw plenty of wild ponies. Just magical. The breakfast was also fabulous and the staff super friendly. Would love to come and stay for a longer break and explore the area. 100% recommend.

Great stay, lovely room in a beautiful location. We had two breakfasts and two dinners, the food was outstanding for the price bracket. If we came back another time we might request not to be on the top floor, as although the low sloping beams were picturesque it was quite hard not to bump your head (especially at night if you don't want to turn on the lights). But overall we were delighted to have found the Rock Inn.

Dinner was excellent. Good options and excellent cuisine. Service very friendly

Payment system. Taking deposit when booking in and then payment of full bill on leaving. Deposit was still showing as pending (and therefore reducing available bank balance) for 4 days after leaving until it was released by bank. This seems a poor system, and unfair to the customer. Why not take cost of the room when booking in and then take any extras on leaving?

Beautiful setting, lovely gardens, made us feel very relaxed. Property had a lot of nice snugs, lounges etc, any guest could find a quiet place, or corner with lots of character. As cottage lovers it suited us perfectly. We arrived in a rare classic car of considerable value, we were able to park under our bedroom window and leave the hood down all night.

Nothing not to like.

Lovely village. Perfect location for hiking Haytor in all it's glory. Clean, comfortable rooms. Attentive staff. Excellent bar selection. Good food. We lucked out to be booked in for a winter wonderland with snow enhancing our experience. The rain that followed wasn't great but fortunately we were scheduled to check out anyhow. We highly rate the experience.

The welcome and staff in general were very friendly and helpful. What I hadn't realised was that the food was going to be so good. My husband and I arrived early to have lunch which was excellent and I had booked for us to have dinner later, this again was a very fine meal.

We were lucky in being able to find a parking space near the entrance. The parking is normally behind the building, not so convenient.
