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.

I was lucky enough to receive a gift voucher for Bovey Castle as a gift and what better way to spend it than enjoying a festive afternoon tea. Bovey Castle located within Dartmoor National Park is a stunning 5 Red Star, award winning country manor hotel, spa and golf resort, offering a first class luxury experience. We were greeted and welcomed by friendly doorman whom took our details and temperatures before we entered as part of their covid 19 precautions which was very reassuring. Once we were given the all clear we were shown to the Great Western Restaurant and told we were free to enjoy and explore the hotel. Full of country charm and character finished off with beautiful seasonal decorations, a stunning setting for a festive feast. Service was friendly and prompt. We were given the choice of tea's and coffee, and the option to add champagne, presecco or a glass of mulled wine to enhance your experience for a small charge. Afternoon tea was presented nicely, a delicious feast for the eyes and tasted even better than it looked. We opted for a glass of mulled wine to add an extra bit of festive cheer, which was full of seasonal flavours. The savoury tier offered the following finger sandwiches; Roast turkey and cranberry Mature cheddar cheese and onion Oak smoked salmon and lemon butter Honey roast ham and pickle Served with Chestnut and Clementine Sausage Roll and a Pear and Blue Cheese Quiche. Everything was super tasty and full of flavour. Our favourite being the chestnut and Clementine sausage roll. This was followed by the traditional Fruit and plain scones served with ample clotted cream and mulled wine jam. The jam was fruity with a hint of festive spice, delicious and novel although a little runny. This was accompanied by a slice of traditional stollen, a favourite of mine. The sweet tier offered Yule log with orange and vanilla butter cream Honey and cinnamon macaroon Cherry and pistachio choux Spiced apple mince pie Everything was delicious, nothing was too rich, we loved the honey a cinnamon macaroon with indulgent honey and cinnamon ganache. We really enjoyed our experience, and everything offered as part of our afternoon tea, stunning setting, great food and service. Would recommend and definitely come back for a special occasion. Perfect for a special treat.

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!

Beautiful boutique hotel in a fabulous building. Staff were exceptionally polite, helpful & well trained. Food was excellent evening meal and breakfast. We used the Spa facilities which were as good as any we’ve been to. Will come back when working this way in the next few weeks.

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.
