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.

- Sue BNailsea, UK473 contributionsThere is a car park right next to the castle. Lovely lady at the ticket booth selling coffees & gifts. Reasonable price to see this beautiful castle & support English Heritage. Leaflet with information can be purchased & audio available too. Good informative signs as you walk round. Dog friendly tooWritten 2 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MATT7159Tadley, UK236 contributionsWe hired some ebikes from granite way cycles which backs on to the granite way.
Its a great path to follow one off the best I've been on, we cycled up and down it and a bit further.
We had to stop for a cream tea along the way too.
Great for families and novice cyclists.Written 26 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ClaireSaint-Raphael, France23 contributionsWe enjoyed a really delicious Sunday lunch in this characterful hotel today! The staff (John and Lyn) were very welcoming and accommodated our every need! The food was of high quality and plentiful; we sampled both the Pork and Beef, and both were equally good! The vegetables were cooked to perfection too! Desserts - Creme Brulee, Sticky toffee pud and 'Black forest tower' were all beautifully presented and finished off our lunch perfectly!Written 1 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andy PBognor Regis, UK86 contributionsA deceptively spacious museum, recounting the history of life on Dartmoor from early beginnings to the present day.
Plenty of exhibits and a wealth of information, together with QR codes providing more information, plus suitable activities for children.
The volunteers were very friendly and welcoming.
It’s very reasonably priced and well worth a visit.Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Ancient oaks bent out between boulders with rare species of lichen and moss covering everywhere give this a magical feel. Lovely river and beautiful views of Black Tor lurking above. Harry, Ron & Hermione would not have felt out of place.Written 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
