With its magnificent location, The Moorland Hotel has always been attractive to walkers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those who enjoy peace and tranquillity. The Country House has welcomed guests for just over 100 years; indeed our most famous visitor, Agatha Christie, who wrote her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, here in 1916.

Not to our taste
Just spent two nights at the Moorland celebrating my Wife's 83rd Birthday. Room 5 was lovely, clean, comfortable and well appointed. The food was excellent and the staff attentive and helpful. Regrettably we were disappointed with the hotel in general. The restaurant is more a…

Dear Shirpet, Thank you for all your lovely points within your review and we thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Albeit, we feel it necessary to defend ourselves against your opinions on our hotel facilities and atmosphere. We assume from the room you describe and that you talk of eating in our Tinpickle & Rhum Brasserie that you were accompanied by a dog during your stay. We are fortunate that our hotel, one of very few locally that boasts two fantastic restaurants, both with different menus and characteristics. Our Tinpickle & Rhum Brasserie seats up to 80 in its bar and seating areas and therefore boasts a large but cosy country feel. Our Conservatory Restaurant oozes in natural light, with views of our beautiful gardens and the moors boasting a classy ambiance serving a 6 course set menu each evening. We don't know many hotels that allow dogs within its main restaurant, however we therefore have our Tinpickle & Rhum Brasserie that allows those dinning with dogs to do so within our alternative restaurant. We do operate a 'any menu, anywhere' policy and therefore should you have wished for our Conservatory menu in the Tinpickle this would not have been a problem at all. Here at The Moorland Hotel we have 36 newly bedrooms and therefore must provide seating with our lounge and restaurants to comfortably accommodate all of our guests when we are at the hotels capacity. We have recently just undergone a total refurbishment, in fact the first since 1960 and as are many very impressed with the hotels beauty and improvements, of course we know that our tastes wont be to everyone's but would like to thank you for your kind comments on cleanliness, service, efficiency and comfort. Kind regards, Steve Furness Owner

Only living 8miles from Haytor we’ve driven past the Moorland on many occasions taking the dog for a walk but had never been in until now. We were treated at Christmas to a voucher to stay here and we thought no better time than Valentines. We booked up including our dog, they…

Dartmoors hidden gem
We stayed at The Belgrade Sands hotel in Torquay for 3 days followed by a 2 night break here. The hotel is set in a spectacular location affording views of Dartmoor National Park. We had the James Bond suite (007) and couldn't have been happier with it. This is a hotel where you…

Dear PhilB505, Thank you ever so much for such a lovely and detailed review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your room, 007 happens to be one of my favourites too! I shall certainly pass your kind comments onto our owner whom I am sure will be thrilled to hear them, likewise I shall inform Olivia. Our team are very new and still in the bonding phase, we're very lucky to have such good members of staff to lead the way for all our team.

"rooms over looking the garden are very pretty, but in the other direction looking over the car park is a view of Haytor"
"Our room was facing the coast and had a lovely view over the garden towards Teignmouth."
"We were in room 103 above the conservatory. The room was quiet and had a reasonable view of the National Park."
"This hotel has room to stay with your dog"
"Some rooms have doors opening out onto the garden."
