We had such a comfortable stay @ Harrabeer country house. We had a very warm welcome after a long day driving with a nice cuppa and biscuits. The room we had was superb, clean, spacious and very comfortable - exactly what we needed after long days exploring. Brekkie was also delicious! Would highly recommend a stay at this wonderful country house . Thank you Nicky for your amazing hospitality! Thanks Jaclyn & Dan Oliver.

We were greeted very warmly by Nicky with cups of tea and biscuits and proceeded to give us information about the hotel and about the area. Our stay was very comfortable and we will have no hesitation in returning. Breakfast was excellent, from fresh fruit, cereals and a full English! During our stay we didn’t go hungry 😀

Lovely B&B; spectacular hosts :)
Amanda and Michael were wonderful! We are pregnant, and the couple was so kind to make sure we were comfortable. Amanda is like the mom everyone wants; kind and caring, yet giving you room to be. And Michael is witty and will surely make you think and laugh. They can make a pretty yummy breakfast too! The property was quant and comfortable. We would surely return and definitely recommend!

Wow! thanks for this! We could not have asked for more even if we had written it ourselves! You know, it is a funny old thing but our guests seem to be getting so much younger than when we first started!! I think it is a bit like the policemen look so young these days!! We wish you all the very best with your pregnancy and we are sure you will both really enjoy being parents - there will be ups and downs but it is all well worth it!!! Stay safe! Best Wishes.

Our hosts, Amanda and Michael, had thought of everything to make Harrabeer House a home from home. They couldn't do enough for us. A wonderful choice of breakfast fare, served with a friendly smile and joke by Michael, was made even more of a treat when Amanda offered freshly baked fruit muffins. On the edge of Dartmoor, it is well placed for walking as well as being close to Plymouth. Nearby Buckland Abbey and The Garden House are both well worth a visit. We would certainly recommend a stay at this property.

Very unique property, comfortable and extremely friendly. Offered a cup of tea on arrival which was very kind. Facilities were offered having a guest sitting room and lovely dining area. The garden was gorgeous and full of bird song. Plenty of seating outside too. Our ensuite master room was beautiful with a bay window and seating area. Bed was huge and comfortable. We slept very well and woke for a scrumptious breakfast - one of the best we've had. The place is cosy and intimate - It was like staying with friends! However my advice would be to eat there for dinner or drive somewhere - we walked to The Rock Inn at Yelverton which I would NOT recommend (the pub not the walk!) Ask your hosts for advice!

Just so-so
We were welcomed with a hot drink and a scone, nice. We used the sitting room in the evening due to our room being so small there was nowhere to be in there. The electric kettle was on the bedside table, the bin next to the top of the bed, the room was cluttered. Definitely not value for money. Did we get given the wrong room? Breakfast next morning was pleasant, looking out over the garden.

Thank you for taking the time to place a review. What a shame you did not tell us at the time you were shown your room that you thought you had booked into a different room when we could have done something about it. You only mentioned it when you left for which I apologised for our error. Most rooms, apart from the Master bedroom, are not large. We live in an old house and not a purpose built building. We would hope that our guests would not want to sit in their rooms all evening and would hope they would come and join us in the bar or sit quietly, as you chose to do, in the elegant sitting room. Finally, as a matter of interest I would be grateful if you would please contact me and give me some idea of where you think the electric kettle and bin should go and what should be removed. That layout has been the same since we have been here (nearly 20yrs with no complaint) so I would sincerely be most pleased to receive your suggestions as you are looking at it with fresh eyes. We trust you enjoy the rest of your stay in UK. Best Wishes. Amanda

Couldn’t ask for a warmer welcome after a long days work and driving. Amanda made me a lovely pot of tea with a fresh cream scone upon arrival before showing me to my room, comfy, spacious and clean. After a lovely nights kip, a lovely homemade breakfast to start the day. Can’t wait until I’m working local again as this will be my go-to place, definitely recommend the Harrabeer Country House Hotel.

The Brochure says it all, small, quiet, friendly, family run hotel, but that does not do justice to the level of service given by Amanda and Michael. The home cooked meals are excellent and produced with care and a desire to exceed expectations. They attend to their guests need with enthusiasm and fun, nothing is too much trouble.

A genuinely lovely old country house with bags of character -- which means tricky access and parking, but well worth it. Fantastic place, fantastic people, and handy for the moor.

Regrettably you have remained anonymous but thank you so much for leaving our very first review on Expedia. You are right: the access is not the best but think on this....when we arrived here 18 years ago the entrance was only half the width and there was a massive great flowerbed in the car park and another one at the entrance !!! Who ever you are you will be welcome to stay again! Best wishes.

Perfect short break
Just returned from a 3 night stay with Amanda and Michael and felt compelled to write a review which is something I very rarely do! They achieved a close to impossible task over the nights we stayed with them and cplrtrly changed my mind about small hotels! We had room 1 which is spacious, light and airy with fantastic views. Amanda and Michael are brilliant hosts and pulled out all the stops to make us welcome and comfortable. Breakfast, presented by Michael in his own inimitable style, was excellent and we enjoyed the evening meal that we took in the hotel. I'm won over. Relaxed and refreshed, we're looking forward to our next visit.
