The Leaping Salmon

Ilsington Country House & Spa sits in Ilsington Village, close to Haytor and the eastern side of Dartmoor.

Family owned and set within private grounds, it offers a more relaxed country house stop for days around Haytor, Yarner Wood, Pullabrook and the Bovey side of the moor. With Dartmoor views, hotel dining, the Blue Tiger Inn and spa facilities, it feels like a slower and more polished option after time outside.

It works well when the day calls for something a little more comfortable than a quick café stop. Families can pair a walk with food, drinks or a gentle pause in a setting that still feels closely connected to the moor.

A strong east Dartmoor stop for relaxed dining, countryside views and a softer finish to a family day out, even providing EV charging who need it!
