Absolutely loved! the room that we were first allocated over looking the gardens we had a lovely deep window sill which I spent a lot of time sitting /reading and admiring the view and the amazing sunrises ..the room was very clean and we could not fault it in anyway .the staff were very attentive in the restaurant and could not do enough for you ,also the bar staff constantly running around but always had a smile & time for a friendly chat . We were originally booked for 2 nights a surprise for my husband's birthday.but decided to stay for one more night as we had enjoyed ourselves so much .

Fabulous location - the moor was just across the road, with moorland ponies, sheep and lambs grazing within metres of the gate daily (April). Fantastic menu - particularly breakfast - kippers with a poached egg was my favorite - with greek yoghurt with berry coulis and chia, pepitas and prunes. Dinner menu was good - but breakfast was exceptional. Beds excellent. Staff a delight - felt like a local - genuine, warm, funny, engaging. Lounge was premium - very well done. Bar robust and cosy. Plenty of powerpoints for laptops.

Hard to find fault. Perhaps the dinner menu variety. I did enjoy the risotto, maybe there were too many similar things - steak and chips etc. I stayed at The Ness in Shaldon the night before my few days at the Moorland - and I could've stayed for a week working my way through their dinner menu. I'm sorry I'm less good at remembering the specifics.

We had such a great time staying at The Moorland Hotel. The location is amazing — right in the middle of Dartmoor National Park, with beautiful views and loads of great walks straight from the door. Perfect if you’re looking to get away and enjoy nature. The hotel itself has so much character. The lobby and restaurant have a really cozy, welcoming feel — lots of charm without feeling old-fashioned. It was a lovely spot to relax after a day out exploring. We also really loved the green space around the hotel. The grounds are big and peaceful, great for sitting out with a drink or just taking in the views. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet break in a beautiful setting.

This is a wonderful establishment in a wonderful setting on the southern edge of the moor. We liked the comfort, the location, the excellent food and service. You can walk straight out onto Hay Tor and/or further or you can get in your car, if you have one and get to the coast easily. The rooms are very comfortable, the place is quiet, there are lovely gardens and the staff are excellent as nothing too much trouble. The veggie breakfast I had, was perhaps the best I have every tasted at a hotel. Do try the restaurant also however - a bit more pricey than a local pub meal but very much a step-up (local pub meals being good also). Can't wait to come back.

The towel hook on the back of the bathroom door fell off. The door was made of some sort of chipboard, so there was no purchase to be had there- surprised it lasted at all. Note to handy-person- put up the towel hooks on the wall - where you can secure screw fittings with rawlplug.

The location of the hotel is excellent for walks on Dartmoor and right next to the visitor centre. Lovely gardens and plenty of space to sit and chill with a cup of tea or drink The conservatory overlooked the lovely gardens and so was a special place to eat. The food was excellent The rooms had everything needed including dressing gowns and slippers plus a coffee machine which was a big bonus# The staff were friendly and helpful with requests

I could not contact the hotel out of hours - just a recorded message saying they were busy. I needed to check that I had a room near a lift due to mobility problems and could not check this out and so had to cancel the booking and rebook which caused its own problems with booking.com The hotel advertisement said that all bedrooms overlooked the gardens but we were placed in a room overlooking the car park. When we said this at reception they did offer us the use of another room accessible by lift and overlooking the gardens but I can't understand why we were not given this in the first place.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Ideal location for waking around Haytor and other tors. The place was very clean, beds very comfy, love the little extras like the radio on when you got into your room and a note saying enjoy your stay. Beautiful grounds to walk around. Food is fantastic, a lovely lounge area to sit and chill with a drink. They have a boot room which is a great area for cleaning your walking boots and dogs. They have rooms that allow dogs and they even left treats and a toy for our dog. We have been twice now and will definitely be staying regularly. Fantastic place.

Nothing

The dinner, high tea, and breakfast areas were spacious and delightfully decorated with an eye to easy comfort and respectability. The surrounding moors and tor were fun for a walkabout. There was a proper snow while i was there and hay tor hill was covered with sledders, dogs and hikers. I spotted a herd of wild horses hanging around the trail to hay tor munching on the snow covered bushes. After my day on the moors, there was a handy entrance through the hotel boot room, with bench and towels to shake off the snow. My room had a hot towel rack that dried my clothes and gloves by morning. The dinners and breakfast were prepared by skilled chefs and were good looking and delicious. I highly recommend the moorland hotel for a relaxing stay on the moors.

The toilet paper rolls ran out fast, but the hotel graciously replaced them on request

A friendly and welcoming place to stay, with direct access to Dartmoor. An ideal base for visiting local attractions, walking across the moor or simply unwinding. The hotel is comfortable and well-appointed, with very friendly and helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Dogs were made very welcome, with even a place to wash dogs and boots! There was a good choice of food, which was beautifully presented, tasted amazing and reasonably priced, whether eating in the restaurant or the bar. The cosy lounge is perfect for pre-dinner drinks, coffee after a meal or afternoon tea. The bedroom was spotlessly clean, with all the usual facilities, including a fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, Dyson hairdryer, DAB radio and lovely toiletries. Thoroughly recommended and we would have no hesitation in making a return visit.

Nothing - it was fantastic!

Fantastic location in the heart of Dartmoor with multiple walking/cycling/driving opportunities immediately outside the grounds. Very spacious ground floor dog friendly room with super comfy bed and double doors opening out into the grounds, which are beautiful. Bar is dog friendly and offers a lovely atmosphere and a good choice of food. Lots of free parking.

Despite being dog friendly, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant or function rooms. As we were there for an 80th birthday lunch in one of the function rooms, this was a bit of an issue. Staff are happy for the dog to be left in our room, but our dog isn’t too good being left along in a strange place. The room good also do with gentle updating and TLC as it was a little tired.

Location was great for the moors. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Food was great at breakfast and dinner. Grounds were kept very well. Looks like a perfect setting for a wedding or big event.

The service was a little slow at mealtimes. Not sure if maybe they were short of staff. The rooms were nice but a little small. Very hot at night. No thermostat but could open the window a little. There was a fan in the wardrobe but we lacked the space to put it what with needing to charge devices and having a few days worth of luggage. Really, really creaky floorboards. When someone is moving around above you you really know about it.
