The Edgemoor Dartmoor - Bovey Tracey

BEWARE SCAM!! Family turned up with a booking and found the hotel deserted. Do not book!

Ideally situated for exploring Dartmoor, perfect for our break. There was no breakfast onsite which we were informed of when booking. However, we had a lovely brunch at Ullacombe farm just up the road. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Providing a travel cot for our little one on short notice. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5

Edgemoor MANOR is effectively a small number of modest rooms bolted onto the side of a new owners’ personal home except the owners seem to have no interest in actually having/hosting guests but are using this as a side gig to cover the costs of running their residential home. They are capitalising on the reputation that Edgemoor HOTEL has clearly built up over many years, charging the same rates, but with none of the same facilities (eg a commercial kitchen) or with any Devon warmth and charm. The owners made us feel unwelcome from the moment we arrived, the building was run down and smelled of sewage (but the rooms were fine, modest and clean) and we paid £120. Overall, this felt dishonest and like a scam. For guests looking to stay here, if you were charged £60 per night and knew you were effectively kipping in someone’s home where the owners didn’t really want to interact with you then this is for you, else, I’d recommend going elsewhere in the area.

Lovely rest, great food, great hosts Rooms: 3 Service: 5 Location: 5

When we arrived we were told that we had been given an upgrade which was a lovely surprise. We stayed for 2 nights and had the full English breakfast each morning, we also had dinner one evening. The food was delicious. Cooked really nicely and everything tasted great. The staff were really polite and helpful. We don't live far away but just wanted a nice quiet break and it was exactly what we had hoped for. We really look forward to staying again, although they do book up fast!! Recommended to anyone
