The granite tors of Dartmoor rise beyond the breakfast-room window, and on still mornings you can hear the Dart tumbling through the valley below.

This is a walkers' base first and foremost — tucked into the National Park with the moor on your doorstep, proper beds after long days on the high tops. The guest house sits alongside camping pods for those who want something between canvas and four walls, and dogs are welcome by arrangement, which matters when you're exploring this corner of Devon. It's year-round, so you can book it for those sharp winter weekends when the tors wear frost and the valleys fill with mist.

WiFi's available if you need to check the forecast or prove to work you're really away. Campfires are a maybe — ask when you arrive, as moor rules vary. The vibe's more mountain refuge than country hotel: practical, honest, built around getting out early and coming back tired.
