"We had a wonderful stay at the Moorland Hotel Haytor and were very impressed from start to finish. The room was comfortable, well presented and had everything we needed, while the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The location is fantastic, with the beautiful Dartmoor landscape right on the doorstep, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The service was excellent and really added to the overall experience. We also had brunch during our stay, which was excellent — a great choice of food, beautifully presented and very enjoyable.

"Room was lovely, spacious and clean. Large bathroom. Great sea view. Shame no breakfast option, but wasn't a major issue for us. Hot tub wasn't in use. Didn't use the Outdoor pool but did use the indoor pool which was nice, although the jacuzzi didn't seem to work very well. If we could get the same room then we'd happily stay again."
