The Moorland Hotel

The Moorland Hotel sits beneath Haytor, with open moorland almost on the doorstep and some of east Dartmoor’s best known family routes close by.

Inside, the hotel mixes traditional country house character with comfortable modern rooms and relaxed spaces for eating and drinking. Dog friendly rooms are available, and dogs are also welcome in the bar, which makes it useful for families arriving straight from a walk.

Food ranges from modern British restaurant dining to relaxed bar meals, Sunday roasts and afternoon tea. That gives families plenty of flexibility, whether the stop is a quick drink, a proper meal or part of an overnight stay.

Haytor, Holwell Lawn, Bonehill and nearby woodland routes all sit within easy reach, so the hotel works naturally with slower family days on this side of the moor.

A comfortable Haytor base for sleeping, eating and making the most of east Dartmoor without much extra driving.
