OK if you have to stay in Bovey.

Friendly staff and a nice breakfast. Dinner was mostly out of packets as far as I could tell, the rooms a bit tired with a fair bit of noise from the high street (not their fault!). A ridiculous sign saying you could only eat and drink things in your room purchased from the hotel - felt like flying Ryan Air.

Lovely stay in Devon Country Pub

Really lovely country pub in Bovey Tracey, just within Dartmoor National Park. Friendly staff and the food is delicious. We brought our dog with us too and they were very friendly and accommodating to her and us. The room was huge and bed very comfortable. Excellent value for money.

Really nice bear garden to relax after a long days work, great local beers. The staff are absolutely amazing, go above and beyond. I visited on a business trip, having to leave early each day at 7am, thus missing breakfast. When the bar staff heard this, they arranged for a breakfast to go for me each morning. I thought this was a great touch, couldn’t ask for anymore. The food in the restaurant was outstanding, suck an enjoyable stay. The location has such character, floorboards creak, you name it but I’d definitely recommend 100%!!!
