Location within Dartington made for a great base to explore the coast and Dartmoor. Food was superb from start to finish. Room was modern and tastefully decorated; linen and tea/coffee topped up daily. Staff were fantastic; so friendly and accommodating. The pub was always busy. Book early to avoid disappointment!
