Great stay

We had a lovely one night stay. The hot tub was great and the beds were very comfy. Having a drying room was a good bonus and we appreciated being able to borrow things like plastic glasses to use in the hot tub and sliders.

Simply perfect for a memorable stay in the heart of Dartmoor. We hadn't planned to stay until a few days before hand, but having seen the fantastic weather forecast decided to book (initially) a 1-night stopover on our way from Shropshire to Looe in Cornwall. When we started to research Ramblers Rest, we simply had to make it a 2-night mini-break, as it sounded so good. We were not disappointed. We were welcomed by Terry who gave us a thorough tour of available facilities as well as our room etc. They've created a perfect USP, which suited our own personal preferences perfectly, offering all the necessary kit for basic self catering. The Super -king bed was so comfortable and the luxurious bedlinen guaranteed a great night's sleep. The added bonus of the BIGGEST hottub I've ever dreamt of, meant we had a fabulous pre-holiday, holiday!!!! Nikki and Terry are incredibly friendly and certainly well-deserved winning Four in a Bed. I'd like to say we'd return but unless we can have wall-to-wall sunshine and 18 degrees, which we experienced then it wouldn't be the same!!!!! Highly recommend a great value stay at Ramblers Rest, Princetown xxx

Comfortable, friendly and highly recommended

Superb place to stay. Everything you could need was available in the room with lovely additional features like the fridge, microwave and coffee machine. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had a great bath and shower. We were met by the owners and shown round the facilities, including the amazingly large spa pool! It was December for our stay but we managed 90 minutes relaximg in warm water before venturing out for food. Warm, welcoming and comfortable! Would highly recommend a stay at the Ramblers Rest!

Visiting out of season on Dartmoor it was still well set up for guests. The location itself was perfect with food and drink just next door. The guys expect muddy clothes and boots after a day on the moors, and couldnt be more helpful to offer local advice. The hot tub was fantastic, offering a great chance to chill after knocking up some miles, with a lovely fire place to warm and chat after. Thanks for a great stay
