A quaint old fashion hotel set in Dartmoor, a delightful place to stay & relax. Excellent food & fabulous staff. Highly recommended
Wonderful short break. Perfect if you don’t want the “corporate “ feel to your accommodation. Food at the restaurant was outstanding and the staff are really helpful, going above and beyond to make sure everything was good for us.
Would certainly recommend.
The staff are a credit to the hotel. Location is inside the National Park, with countless walks to hand. Food at the hotel was amazing with a great full English in the morning. Superb local beers in the bar. Cannot fault the place and we will return.
Great location.
Sunset picnic on Haytor was perfect after a drink or two in the garden.
Staff were so friendly.
The light menu offered on the days when the restaurant wasn’t fully open was great.
Will definitely be back.
Perfect for summer or winter.
All the staff at The Rock were so helpful. In particular Sharon! We were quite a large group with many requests but each was dealt with without fuss.
Our room, at the top, was spacious with a fabulous bathroom.
The evening set Menu was all delicious. Great service in the restaurant. Good wine list, interesting selection.
The food was good particularly breakfast, Staff service was good, The room was in the attic(Freebooter) and for a 6'3" guy a bit dangerous with slanting wood beams at the end of the bed causing a few bruises. The room ventilation and window lighting was poor (2 small windows). There were two flights of narrow stairs to get to the room and no help with carrying two large suitcases
We stayed here when we were attending a wedding nearby. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel just helped make a fabulous weekend even better. Will definitely visit again.
