What a delightful meal we had here last night. We live nearby and had guests staying with us and we were having difficulty finding a restaurant open for dinner on a Tuesday evening in Winter, until we remembered this charming hotel. From the kind welcome, the drinks, menu reading and warming fire in the lounge, followed by the classic, simply ambiance of the restaurant, the friendly and efficient staff to the truly wonderful food, the whole experience was faultless. We will be back, regularly. Highly, highly recommended.

This was quite disappointing considering we had made a reservation two weeks in advance. It was my partner's birthday meal and we were both looking forward to trying the missing dish. Unfortunately, we were informed that it would not be available just 10 minutes after placing our order.

The pork dish was good but you had to pay extra for vegetables and at one meal the new potatoes definitely tasted re-heated. I am sure this restaurant was fine for a one off meal but not for a stay of over two days. Sauces on the food were too plentiful and strong. Puddings were fine as were the breakfasts. I am not sure how a vegetarian would have coped as the options were even more limited. Beds were lovely and comfy in great surroundings and the staff were excellent but a few extra options in plainer food would have made this place somewhere we would come back to.

The food was exceptional as was the service. A lovely touch when you check out you get a goodie bag with notepad pen, bottles of water homemade fudge. It definitely deserves more than the 3 it has.

The quality, presentation and taste rivals many Michelin starred restaurants, including the nearly Gidleigh Park. The menus are imaginative and changed daily. The ingredients used are always fresh and top quality and I can highly recommend.

The walk to Chagford is pleasant and lovely but this years rain washed these plans away. This is our 7th visit. I love to write and find the juxtaposed modern take on ancient mill on a river perfect for this. Dogs everywhere (again perfect for me) and staff that I have remembered across the years. Much travelled, I just can't help but come back year to this singular little spot that so well suits my writing and love of the moor.

I am sure they must have forgotten and quickly made these. In today’s world it is easy to get vegan cheeses etc so I am really disappointed and doubt I will bother going again which is a shame as it is a lovely place it’s just a shame the food doesn’t come up to the same standard.

The menu may be short but the food is fabulous and complemented by thoughtful and attentive service. Wine list is reasonably priced and very interesting. One of our favourite places to eat.
