Moorland Garden Hotel  

We have stayed at this hotel on several occasions in the past. After a lapse of several years we returned as we think that this hotel is in an ideal location, being close to Plymouth, Tavistock and Dartmoor and lies in an attractive setting. We found our room comfortable and clean, the staff were attentive and helpful. The dinner menu was very good however we did think that the vegetable choice seemed to be limited. The breakfast menu was very good. The new ownership and management appear to be committed to improve standards of decoration and maintenance that had perhaps been allowed to fall. We will certainly return as and when we holiday in the area.

Our particular (ground floor) room seemed to be under staff quarters which meant that we were concious of their late and early movements.

We were staying at the hotel to attend a friend's wedding there. The lounge was decorated in an excellent way for the event and thoroughly well organised. The bar and table serving staff were very efficient and polite, the Manager was very impressive in that he was very visible organising the staff and orchestrating a thoroughly enjoyable event. Well done to all the staff!!!!!!

It was clear that some recent redecoration had taken place but there is still more to do.

Super location. Friendly staff and a very quiet and comfortable room. Breakfast was excelent. Interior of the hotel is immaculate.

Exterior of the hotel looks shabbier each time we stay. A popular wedding venue (we had our daughter's reception there several years ago and it was excellent, and we have stayed a number of times since), so peeling, discoloured paint everywhere, overgrown flower beds and empty flower planters in front of the restaurant aren't a good image.

We regularly stay here as it is close to relatives so very convenient for us. In an excellent position on Dartmoor yet so close to the shops of Yelverton and city shopping in Plymouth is not far away. We very much like the fact the new owners are spending some money on the hotel, improving it, as it was very tired. The exterior has been painted so it looks much smarter, the drive and car park have been resurfaced. We understand the ballroom and bridal suite have also been refurbished. All good. Very welcoming and friendly staff.

Only that our room and bathroom was very tired but am sure it will be refurbished in time along with the rest of the hotel.

We enjoyed a relaxed stay at the Moorland Garden Hotel, the room was very comfortable aand spacious, The staff were all friendly and helpful, they made us feel welcome and were reallly intersted in making our stay enjoyable. The breakfasts were excellent and our stay was very good value. I will recomment the Moorland Garden to friends.

A great location on the edge of Dartmoor and not in a town.

Staff were clearly trying very hard, and largely doing a good job. However it was quite apparent that the hotel has recently changed hands, with loss of experienced staff.

The hotel is in an excellent position to visit Plymouth, Dartmoor and Cornwall. The location on the moors is very scenic and out of the way. The grounds / gardens are great, as is the bar and dining room. Food is excellent.

The bedroom could do with a makeover and modernisation. Redecoration of the outside of the main buliding overlooking the gardens is well overdue.

Beautiful location, food was lovely and the staff were brilliant very friendly, the gentleman on reception I have to say was lovely, a very nice person to have for a first impression when you go into somewhere

The only problem we had, was our room was over the toilets at reception, and baring in mind there was a large wedding party, we had a dreadful amount of door banging the whole of Saturday evening and night...next time I would not want a room in that part of the hotel.

Breakfast. On first day it was 35 minutes before we were served with our cooked breakfast, and 20 minutes before we even got toast. Bathroom looked very sad and in need of repair and updating. Fan was extremely noisy. Trouser press only stayed on for 2 minutes before it switched off.

Nice Hotel, Good Location for us. Room was spaceous and clean. Breakfast was Good.

Very nice accomodation with pleasent staff

Bar snack food was very poor and not as described.our evening meal with friends was terrible ,had we been served with this food in a transport cafe we would havesent it back it was poor value and in particular the pork loin was rewarmed thin dry and an insult to the diner.virtually raw veg topped this awful meal off andwe remembered why we had said that we wouldnt eat here again from our last visit.sunday breakfast was dreadful as thi food had obviously been cooked and kept warm for ages .all hard bacon.dried eggs and inedible fried bread plus white as in only shown the toaster made it a meal not to remember.

Location and ease of access.
