荒野飯店(The Moorland Hotel)

The Moorland Hotel is under new management and it is now absolutely shocking. We've had 2 out of 2 bad experiences in the last few weeks which will mean we will NEVER go again despite the fact that it used to be our favourite place to go (before it changed hands). Firstly, we had a 50th birthday meal booked. A pretty big occasion you'd agree. However, we were phoned just a few days before the meal to be told that they'd have to cancel because they had a large wedding on with the guests staying over and implied, therefore, that they were more important and took priority over us. We were left looking for somewhere else to go at short notice. At that point, I suggested they had lost our business, but foolishly we gave them another chance. Their second chance was today. We've just got back from holiday abroad, no food in etc, so we decided to eat out. We checked on the Moorland's website and booked a table for two and received the reservation confirmation. When we got there, the manager looked surprised and said "we are no longer doing food". We explained we had a booking and he just stated again "we've stopped doing food". "But we have a booking" we explained again. It turns out, that despite the signs outside saying "Sunday roast 12-2pm" and despite the website, new owners took over a month or so ago and have stopped doing food and just haven't bothered to update the website. What sort of amateur runs a company like that? Takes over, doesn't bother to make even a single little change to the website, not even a "under new management" notice. But worse, leaves the old site working so that you can book a meal and turn up for it to find out they don't do food! I wouldn't go back in a million years now.

Local Staff have left and now we have a big void to fill. A big Change in things can be severe! Very little to no atmosphere! Present chef is no way a chef and it showed up with the food. Very disappointing when the previous owners had done a good job. Staff are very friendly but they are out of touch with what is needed to make this place work out in the countryside, which is good home local cooking! With one steak meal available it is no longer the so called Steak House Restaurant! I hope they find the chef they need to turn it back to somewhere as it was at before!!!

The staff were helpful and friendly, the room was excellent the evening Meals were really good but the Breakfast not so but we really enjoyed our stay and would come again

The staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful, breakfast to order was spot on, food always cooked fresh, a very calm place with fantastic views, extremely good priced food and drink. Quick access of 10 minute drive to local or supermarket requirements. Lots of stunning walks with horses and sheep a plenty with many other wildlife along the moors. Already planning next stay

Just stayed one night the weather wasn’t great but the heating was on and it was warm and cosy. Rooms and hotel were a bit dated but it was clean and welcoming. The view and location are to die for. Great for dogs and if your a walker this is the place

We stayed for a couple of nights at this nice hotel and were amazed it wasn’t busier given that it is just inside Dartmoor with miles of walking and cycling on its doorstep. The staff are amazing - very friendly, attentive and work hard and we would most definitely return.

Really great value for money. Greeted by very Friendly staff, comfortable and clean room (tele was very small but we weren’t there to watch tele!) and amazing, amazing food. Had a great view of the moors and was greeted by local wildlife in the form of horses and sheep. Close enough to pop into Plymouth but far enough out to be a world away from the hustle bustle. Would definitely stay again

outstanding service and food. Brilliant Staff, outstanding chef, great rooms outstanding value for money. great views, love the place and cant wait to go back. best trip to plymouth i have ever had......and ive been going for 30 years! brilliant access to moors and city. well done guys. lee ellis

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is optional and must be ordered by 9.00pm. Full english £9.50 and Continental £6.50
