Everything! We were so sad to leave. We love travel so have stayed in some amazing hotels across the world (including other Relais & Chateaux properties), but after our stay at Gidleigh Park, we realized this might have been the BEST hotel ever - even including some very special Japanese ryokans.
What made it so wonderful:
- The staff were all so genuinely nice. We had a lot of odd requests (since I’m pregnant and my husband has very specific dietary preferences), and I’m sure they secretly thought we were total weirdos, but they did a great job covering this up - no request was too strange! Examples: 1.) my husband became addicted to Innocent smoothies during our stay in England and insisted on having some every day (…even in a Michelin-starred hotel), so they kept them in the fridge for us and brought out the bottles whenever he wanted to pour a glass; 2.) I went down each morning to have breakfast but my husband prefers to sleep in, so I would request a takeaway homemade croissant for him. This request alone wasn’t too bad perhaps, but the croissants were so good warmed up, so we would later request to have them warmed right before he ate them - which they kindly did…
- The food is SUPERB - I could’ve eaten for weeks straight just at the casual lounge (we’d normally try the formal restaurant too, but saving this for next time when I have fewer pregnancy food restrictions, to fully enjoy!). Best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had, with perfectly poached golden-orange yolks (I’ve only ever seen such perfect eggs before in Japan), sumptuous afternoon tea, truffled cheese soufflé, really good strong pots of Earl Grey and Mini Pu Erh Cake (!) tea, amazing fresh fish and brothy beans… all in a cozy casual living room/conservatory setting where they let you open the patio doors, or sit outdoors (very nice if you’re being extra Covid-cautious while pregnant like me)!
Located in Exeter, 12 miles from Newton Abbot Racecourse, Weeke Barton has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

On the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Mill End Hotel features a creative restaurant, elegant bedrooms and free Wi-Fi. The hotel is set in leafy grounds just outside Chagford.
A really lovely little village. It’s a great base for exploring the stunning local scenery. It’s well served by an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and attractions. There’s a shoe making shop, an eco/refill outlet, a great wine and spirits shop and tasting bar together with any number of independent cafes and restaurants. And not forgetting the National Trust property at one end of the village - it’s not
Open to the public but is very photogenic!

Lovely village but roads to and from very, very narrow, so be warned if you have a large car you will find yourself reversing to a passing place on occasions, or brushing the hedge to allow others to pass. The Ring Of Bells Pub is very pleasant but was a little cold in the bar area during our stay and the menu was good but a little restricted for those who were not great meat eaters. Apart from the Church there are no other places to visit in the village itself. The parking for the Pub is opposite the Church so a bit of a walk with your luggage - especially if it is raining! The waiting staff seemed generally very young and a little untrained in menu choices, information etc. but pleasant enough.

Lovely town with reasonable choice of places to have lunch/dinner & good co-op store. Plenty of interesting walks into the surrounding countryside (info provided at Cookshayes G.H) but sometimes had to walk on minor roads.

Lovely town on the edge of Dartmoor with excellent facilities - small Co-Op as well as a greengrocer, butcher and wholefoods shop, plus a pharmacy, newsagent and information centre. Plenty of choices for food and drink - we used both the Horse and Union Inn, but there are also cafes and other places to go for food and drink. Recommended.

From my bottom of my heart, this is a Perfect Place to stay with family, friends or any age. The owner lady looked after me and my friends same as our own Mum. Very quiet place. Everything was clean and tidy. full english breakfast with your lovely chat and smile made our tummy full. every week we stay different hotels in uk so far we stayed all over uk from Scotland to cornwall but this house was mind blowing. We will definitely come back again. Thanks a lot for what you have done.....
Really enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. Since the weather was perfect, we appreciated being able to have a glass of beer or wine on the outdoor patio. My room was up a narrow staircase but once there, it was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and clean. We also loved our nearby country walk with distant views of Dartmoor that ended in the old church yard.
Very comfortable room and extremely friendly and accomodating hosts. They helped us store our bicycles for the night and it was lovely to chat to them while having their terrific breakfast. The location in the charming town of Moretonhampstead is excellent to explore Dartmoor, while offering a supermarket and several dining options in very close proximity.
The location was a perfect place to set out and explore Dartmoor. Our room was fantastic with a nicely firm mattress, two chairs, a fridge and view of the town. Breakfast was superb with delicious fruit, traditional items and fresh juice. We enjoyed wandering down the streets and even on the moors beyond the cemetery.
All staff were lovely friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make me feel at home.
The food was good and the breakfast service and spread was great. They accommodated my dietary requirements easily and were very dog friendly. Thank you. All facilities were great and I felt very cared for.
A very relaxing, comfortable, homely B&B. Spectacular views of countryside and Dartmoor. Got to watch animals and sunset with my tea and book. Real cottagecore vibes. Owner was very friendly and welcoming; she made me feel right at home. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. What a memorable experience!
Very good communications from owner. Lots of parking. Very comfortable bed, and very good shower. Owner had left tea, coffee, cereals and some milk in the fridge. Excellent location, in relation to centre of Moretonhampstead - 5 -10 minutes walk.
We had dinner at the Hotel and it was wonderful. A hot breakfast which was included with the room. Breakfast was very tasty. The staff especially, Miles, was very helpful and had wonderful suggestions about what to see in the area.
Very comfortable, well appointed small hotel with a lovey owner. Breakfast was lovely, location in a small market town ideal for the local pubs and cafés, plus access to the Dartmoor National Park
Comfortable, clean, beautifully designed hotel and room. The food is ridiculously good. The staff and friendly, helpful and efficient. Seldom had a better hotel experience, even in 5 star hotels.
Lovely hotel in a fantastice location. Very friendly staff and food was excellent. Would definitely stay here again. There is no parking on site but a public car park only about 50 metres away.
