Dartmoor is a place that is filled with adventure. It’s wild, free, battered by the elements and as rugged as the tors that shape its landscape. Days of exploration mean that a cosy bed and a well-stocked bar are an essential part of any visit to Dartmoor. Here’s our list of the best hotels across the moors.
A Dartmoor destination that boasts consistently award-winning cuisine, the Horn of Plenty was voted one of The Times’s Top 40 Places to Stay in Britain in 2019. The rooms here are bright, grand and modern – and open out to sweeping views of the tors and moors.
Set on 11 acres (4.5ha) of landscaped grounds, paddocks and woodland, the Moorland Hotel provides challenging walks and cycling along with breathtaking views of the moors where wild ponies can also be seen grazing. Agatha Christie aficionados will be fascinated to hear that the author finished her very first novel – The Mysterious Affair at Styles – over a two-week stay here.
