Good Hotel Guide Review
In wooded grounds, the Hassell family’s country house hotel and ‘beautiful’ spa impresses with its laudable service and ‘very warm welcome’. ‘Our dog even received a welcome pack with walk maps and biscuits’. Rooms are decorated in restful shades, with antique pieces and a sleigh bed. Most have a bath and an overhead or walk-in shower. After a game of croquet, guests can take a cream tea on the lawn. In the spacious dining room, where far-reaching views spread to Dartmoor’s Hay Tor and the surrounding hills, chef Mike O’Donnell’s dishes are an ‘excellent’ selection of local, seasonal produce and day-boat fish. Desserts are ‘impressive’. Breakfast brings fresh fruit salad and and eggs from happy hens.
