Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A family-run country house hotel with a spa in the village of Ilsington, on the south-east slopes of Dartmoor below Haytor. It suits walkers and couples who want a moorland base without being remote. Dogs are welcome in the bar, one of the lounges, the conservatory and the garden.
