Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently praise the spacious and clean rooms at Dartmoor Halfway Inn, with comfortable beds and well-equipped bathrooms often highlighted; the powerful showers are a plus. Convenient parking right next to the rooms is a common perk, and being just 10 minutes from Dartmoor makes it a great base for exploring. Some guests have noted that certain facilities show slight signs of wear, but the on-site pub receives high marks for its food, including vegan and gluten-free options.

excellent choice lovely setting fresh milk tired facilities serious staff basic lock

breakfast had an excellent choice. the setting felt lovely. hospitality shown was first class. a little bottle of fresh milk looked each morning, a really nice touch.

the facilities felt a bit tired. staff did not seem to take it seriously when they entered my room while i was in there. it caused me great anxiety as a single traveller. there was no way of securing the room beyond a basic night latch door lock.

The room included a functional desk and strong internet connection. This allowed me to work efficiently. fresh milk arrived at the door each morning. A very pleasant surprise. the parking area adjacent to the room proved convenient. the bar and restaurant offered an adequate selection of meal choices.

The night latch was the only means of securing the room door. I would have preferred something more.
