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.

    There 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 too

    We 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.

    We 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!

    A 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.

    A genuine rainforest in Britain! 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.

    We visit here regularly, for walks around the lovely gravel tracks with the dogs, for some paddle boarding, or even for a bite to eat.
    They have delicious food and tasty treats and drinks and a cute little gift shop!

    Came here for a romantic weekend getaway and wasn’t disappointed. Learned a lot about barometers and rekindled my failing marriage at the same time. Marvellous place. Would recommend for any couples looking for a cute trip away.

    We stopped by to have a look and found a very engaging historic display inside. This was very detailed. A nice church with a long history of workship and still going today! YMMV
