Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Planning a drive through Dartmoor, this open air pool was highlighted and I thought it would be a great way to finish our day before heading off to a restaurant.
We turned up without booking and got a 4pm slot.
2 hours for £4.
Changing cubicles were clean.
The pool wasn’t too busy and I just swam lengths for an hour.
Plenty of seating around for the non-swimmers.
We were blessed with sunshine too.
If I’m in the area again, I’d have another swim there.

We enjoyed a sunny afternoon at the pool in a 2hr session. The pool and poolside area were lovely and clean. The pool has a good set up with a barrier separating the shallow and deep ends with lots of floats available for children. Toilets and changing rooms were spotless. As it was a sunny day the pool was busy, but as tickets are limited it didn't feel crowded and felt really safe with the two lifeguards.

We were going to spend the day at Chagford outdoor pool but within its reviews we saw there was an outdoor pool at M'hampstead. I'm so glad we changed our minds! Lovely friendly volunteers, clean facilities and what a pool! Clear and blue and a total sun trap with shade if you need it. The water is warm (30 degrees today!) and plenty of swimming aides & toys to go round too. Cannot rate it enough! Thank you Moretonhampstead... what a wonderful pool you have!

Stopped off at the Moretonhampstead open air swimming pool yesterday and was greeted by lovely staff. Adult swim is £4 a session. The pool is heated by solar energy to 29degrees so is lovely and warm. Beautifully clean and tidy and with a car park next door. Perfect.

My wife and I visited in late July. The pool is a decent size and everything is in god repair, with some comfortable sitting areas. We spent most of the afternoon there, getting some exercise whilst also relaxing. The staff made us feel welcome.

Chose to stay in the village and began the day with a swim in this heated open air pool. It's clean and only lightly chlorinated. There are a few changing cubicles and when I was there it wasn't crowded
It's a small pool so will quickly fill up in the afternoons. And the shallow end is extremely shallow

First visit of the Summer for a Sunday morning lane swim and a reminder of what a fabulous place this is. Outdoor swimming in lovely, clear warm water - perfect! Thanks to all the volunteers for making this happen - hope you have a great 2018 season.

I have visited on several occasions and I continue to be impressed. As well as this facility, the Town is well positioned to visit Dartmoor and seaside resorts.

The whole family love Moreton pool!!
It is always very clean, with great changing facilities and loads of poolside space. The staff are friendly and the children love the 25p lucky dip sweet bag after their swim!
