“It's just a great little hotel.”

Moorland Hotel

1 Apr 2008

My wife and I have now stayed at the Moorland on 3 occasions. Why? because it is a well run, friendly hotel that still has some character. If you need to be 'away from it all', then this is a great place to be and Rosemary, the owner was always there for you. Sadly, I believe that she has moved to another hotel but we plan to go down again this year and will see what the new owners are making of it. The views are tremendous, the walks bracing and, at the risk of making my 'magic place' more popular, you must visit Shaugh Bridge, where the rivers Plym and Meavey meet. You are already on the edge of the moors so there are some great walks, drives and rides to be had. I believe there is a local stable as you sometimes see the horses in the paddock attached to the hotel. There are at least 2 golf courses in the area if that's your thing and the Plymouth city centre is about 40 minutes away (traffic willing, of course). The Sheraton it isn't but if you're looking for a friendly, convenient base to explore from, then give it a go.

“Not 5 star but more than adequate”

Moorland Hotel

6 Jan 2007

If you are looking for a clean room, somewhere to rest your bones after a long day on in the Devon Countryside & you want to be right on the Moors then the Moorland is fine. We found the room to be clean & tidy, en-suite was adequate, towels changed daily & bed made. Excellent full English each morning & friendly staff. The bar area was pretty basic but served our needs, ie, wet the whistle after a long day checking out properties in the Plymouth area. If you do book, please ensure you request NOT to have the room above the snooker room ! We had this one & it was a tad noisy until the youngsters, who were no problem at all, made their way home. Be prepared to pay London prices for your beer or wine, very surprised at that but it was the same in Plymouth in ordinary pubs. Fantastic views over the Moors down into Plymouth when the mist lifts ! Would stay again considering the price. Friendly hotel which does need some TLC but that did not spoil our stay.

We got a booking to stay overnight at the Moorland Hotel via laterooms.com. We paid a total of £40.00 BB for the room. Okay the place is a bit tired looking and the public areas a little scruffy, however it is in a fantastic location. The staff who were there couldn't of been more friendly and helpful. Our room was clean with all the facilities you would need (after all we were only paying £40.00 for the night so didn't expect a five star room). The meal in the evening was well cooked and served with a smile. My husband has to have a gluten free diet, the hotel had not known about this in advance. We didn't expect any special considerations for this, so imagine our suprise when once the lady who was serving our meal at dinner found out, she brought him out a gluten free bread roll! Fantastic customer service! Well done Moorland Hotel, we had a great stay - thank you!

The place is worn out. The various hallways and stairways were dirty, and unkept, the doors scratched and battered and even the door locks were clearly worn out. The rooms were clean but the minimal furniture was cheap chipboard. It was a cold night but the heating was low and the windows were open on arrival, so the rooms were cold. Just to add to the effect the heating turned off while we were in the bar and a single fan heater was offered for two rooms.

I slept under the summer duvet with clothes on and we checked out in the morning. Just to finish the effect we were charged a cancellation fee as we had originally booked for three nights, (partly on the basis of the earlier review, presumably left by the owner of the 'hotel'). We moved upmarket to the YHA at Bellever.
