The Globe Inn

"Food superb. Nice pub in a small Village atmosphere. Staff attentive. All together a great night stay on a business trip"

Ilsington Country House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"There is a lot that is exceptionally good about the hotel. The staff are extremely helpful , the food and drinks of high standard and the spa area very good. The only slight downsides were poor WiFi although this seems to affect the whole village when we visited. We’d love to come back."

The Chagford Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very comfortable with a nice shower, coffee machine and fresh milk. The staff were very friendly and helped with recommendations for local walks. Dinner at the pub was excellent. The location is great - in the centre of the village with country walks on your doorstep and even a heated lido nearby for a morning swim."
