Its position near key cycling routes and Dartmoor's walking trails is a definite plus, and the added convenience of secure bike storage and ample parking addresses practical needs. While its charm lies in a comfortable, down-to-earth atmosphere rather than luxury, the attentive staff and satisfying meals ensure a worthwhile stay.”
