No negatives here!
All the staff at The Rock were so helpful. In particular Sharon! We were quite a large group with many requests but each was dealt with without fuss. Our room, at the top, was spacious with a fabulous bathroom. The evening set Menu was all delicious. Great service in the restaurant. Good wine list, interesting selection.

The staff are a credit to the hotel. Location is inside the National Park, with countless walks to hand. Food at the hotel was amazing with a great full English in the morning. Superb local beers in the bar. Cannot fault the place and we will return.

Summer trip to Dartmoor
Great location. Sunset picnic on Haytor was perfect after a drink or two in the garden. Staff were so friendly. The light menu offered on the days when the restaurant wasn’t fully open was great. Will definitely be back. Perfect for summer or winter.

The food was good particularly breakfast, Staff service was good, The room was in the attic(Freebooter) and for a 6'3" guy a bit dangerous with slanting wood beams at the end of the bed causing a few bruises. The room ventilation and window lighting was poor (2 small windows). There were two flights of narrow stairs to get to the room and no help with carrying two large suitcases

Brilliant
If you are looking for a modern up to date state of the art establishment then this is not for you. If you are looking for bags of character great service fantastic food in a warm cosy tradition environment that is slightly frayed around the edges then look no further. We loved it and would loved to have stayed longer. It is right on the edge of Dartmoor and is absolutely wonderful. The menu is tight but boy oh boy it is excellent. Rooms are great, clean and very tidy with oodles of character. Brilliant
