    With the weather being so hot the room was boiling and no fans are supplied so we had to have the windows open day and night to try and cool the room down. Unfortunately on this occasion, there were a few caravans full of undesirable people staying on the campsite that had no consideration for anyone else staying on the site or in the rooms. They allowed their children to run riot all around the campsite and up to the pub garden/decking. These children were charging around shouting on the Saturday evening until approx 2am and again on the Sunday night until approx 2.45am! So inconsiderate and even more so when everyone has to have all their windows open! We were not the only people who were not happy as other guests (both campers & room occupants) were voicing their opinions over breakfast each morning and while chatting walking our dogs in the dog field areas. We did tell a young girl on check out what had happened, but because the Manager wasn't around she was totally out of her depth and didn't even offer an apology. We thought we had found a place that we would visit every year, but this years experience has completely changed our mind. If this business continues to allow these sort of people to pitch their caravans on the site, their business will seriously suffer as we are just one couple out of many that will not return next year.

    We've stayed here twice before. Once in one of the rooms and once in our caravan on the campsite and both previous stays have been fantastic. This year we opted to stay in a room again and friends of ours came to join us and stayed in their camper van on our recommendation. The facilities, location, cleanliness and pub food (the portions are huge and very reasonable priced) were all above expectation. This time our room was as expected and everything was top notch. The staff will go over and above to accommodate you and cant do enough for you.

    No adverse comment.

    I was a little unsure abut this place before we arrived but Boy! was I wrong, The highlight of the Dartmoor Halfway Inn was undoubtably the staff. Unfailingly helpful and certainly cheerful at all times, this was the most service minded bunch we had met. We really liked this place. Breakfast, dinner, the beer garden were all great and the location close to the main artery through Devon allows trips out without hassle. The room was basic, but had everything we needed. This place we would definitely go back to - and recommend to others.

    A small bottle of milk was deposited outside the room each morning, however there is no fridge and so it wasn't possible to keep it cold. It was possible to get more milk from the pub. The small bottle of complimentary shampoo wasn't replaced, we stayed for 3 nights and so that wasn't really enough. The complimentary biscuits weren't replenished consistently.

    The room was nice, it was clean and had access directly from outside, which was good for us because we had a dog with us. The staff were really pleasant and helpful

    The paintwork in the room is quite tired. The bedding could do with updating, although clean it’s looking old and a bit frayed. The full breakfast was very tasty but a little mean on portions. The bread for toast is of a poor quality and thinly sliced. We love our thick homemade toast.

    The room is very nice and located so you can’t hear the traffic on a busy road. The shower is very good pressure wise but not enough hot water to have 2 showers in a row. Love the quirkiness and the fresh milk delivered each morning, great. The towels are really nice, very clean and soft.

    Everything was perfect.

    The accommodation was separate from the main building which is a restaurant/bar and was in a quiet location. Great large car park. The ensuite room is fabulous and finished at a very high level. Lots of freebies and a huge walk-in shower. It was very clean. I can't believe that I only paid £85 for a room which I would class as luxury. Very friendly and helpful staff. The food in the restaurant is very nice.

    Our room was comfortable very dog friendly as was the whole pub/Inn… The bed was comfortable and the setting was quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was also lovely and the staff were very friendly to us and little cockapoo dogs Sooty and Sweep… A special mention to Casper who was really attentive, kind and lovely especially to our little dogs.. He went out of his way to help us…. We have already booked to return!

    My goodness what a little gem of a find for our journey to Plymouth Port with our dog. From the moment we entered to be so professionally, courteously and kindly dealt with by ‘The Twins,’ we knew we had chosen well. The room was fabulous, with a huge bed and such a choice of refreshments. The bathroom had lots of fluffy towels and really upmarket toiletries. Our evening meal with the dog was exceptional. Then a walk around the grounds and adjoining, rather upmarket caravan site, so nice for the dog. Breakfast was just what we wanted, with a pot of tea and really good eggs. Immediately booked for our next trip.

    Nothing. Everything was excellent!

    Wonderful, friendly staff who welcomed us and our dog. The room had everything we needed, including toiletries and a good variety of refreshments with fresh milk delivered on the doorstep in the morning. The huge bed was ultra comfortable and the room was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Pub food was delicious with a great variety and obviously popular as an eatery with locals too. Ideal location for Ashburton and surrounding areas. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.
