Find the Cheap Manaton Hotels

when we arrived we received a warm welcome from the owners. We found the room clean light and airy with a great view of Dartmoor. The free internet was really useful and the refitted bathroom was very clean. Downstairs the bar was well stocked with a good range of drinks and snacks. There was a small shop selling a good range of food for visitors and guests also a nice range of professional photos of Dartmoor which would either make a nice wall picture or a gift. The Restaurant was light and airy with lovely views of the surrounding hills. The evening meal was well cooked and very tasty. The breakfast too was lovely with a good selection of fruits and cereals. It was our first visit to the Kestor Inn although I lived in the area when I was a teenager attending the then Heathercombe Brake School at Heatree House in the late 1970's early 1980's. It is now Heatree Activity Centre, still run by the Heathercombe Brake Trust. Dartmoor it's self remains much the same over the years I would recommend visiting local sites such as Hound Tor, Hay Tor, Becky Falls, Jay's Grave, Heatree Activity Centre (by appointment), Higher Heathercombe Centre (by appointment), Widecombe in the Moor, Moretonhamstead, Dartmeet, Princetown with Dartmoor Prison and local town of Bovey Tracey. Local transport is limited so best book a taxi in advance especially in the peak holiday season. Also remember to take waterproof clothing as the weather isn't always fine. Happily the weather was fine and hot when we visited. In the evening we enjoyed a lovely drink in the beer garden after our school reunion. We will certainly be returning to the Kestor Inn as the service and food is outstanding and we would certainly recommend the Kestor Inn if you are staying on or near Dartmoor.

Wonderful place to return to and to be so near to the Haytor rocks and paths. The amazing Dyson hairdryer made short work of rain-swept hair after a short walk. Everything perfect in the room; a delightful dinner, beautifully served, and a piano player! Breakfast in welcome sunshine then another walk. Again please!

For the time of year (early January) the hotel was warm and comfortable. We used the bar and lounge and felt relaxed. Service was friendly. There was a peaceful atmosphere everywhere at all times. The restaurant was very well waited and the food was superb. The pool and spa was clean and modern with some lovely water jets in the hydrotherapy pool. We went for a walk up to Haytor from the hotel on a circular route (around 5 miles with a decent hill to climb).

We visited 3 times whilst staying in Chagford for our weeks Staycation this year. Food and service was brilliant every time. Very attentive staff, food was very well presented and tasted amazing. Especially loved the Risotto, Katsu burger & Choux buns!! They were also very COVID safe which was great to see in the current times. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area. Thanks so much for having us.
