Top Higher Knowle Hotel Reviews

Cromwell Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Good location in the centre of the town. The room was at the top of the stairs and the floor was quite wobbly, due to the age of the inn. The room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast"

The Moorland Hotel, Haytor, Devon

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel well situated for the Moors. Nice hotel and friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent! Evening menu was good too!"

Bovey Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful grounds and castle room. Don’t recommend staying next to the elevator though as it was quite loud"

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 Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at The Rock Inn, the staff were attentive and friendly and the food was excellent."

Kestor Inn

10/10 Excellent

Higher Mapstone – Luxury Dartmoor Retreat with Hot Tub, Spectacular Views and Games Barn

8/10 Good

"House was absolutely lovely. My issue was with the agents. We were told off for using the hot tub, apparently we were told not to use it in some form of communication which I didn’t see. Nothing mentioned in the guest book. The listing was all about the hot tub! I repeated an issue with the lack of rubbish collection and a toilet issue no response then a sudden panicked call to ask where I was and why I hadn’t left a key. Again the agents disorgasation blamed on me! Finally I was offered a 50 discount- not yet received."

Lovely Character Dartmoor Cottage Just Below the Famous Haytor Rocks

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage is a lovely place to stay, comfortable beds and lovely bedding. The kitchen was equipped with everything anyone would need, even picnic baskets and cooling blocks. Loads of games, movies and books and even a piano for evening entertainment… or there’s the beautiful pub and pub garden right next door… a lovely place to spend a few hours, eat, drink and take in the views. Highly recommend "

Swifts Return – Cosy Dartmoor Hideaway with Wood-Fired Hot Tub & Pool

8/10 Good

"This is a third time we stayed in the apartment. As always a lovely experience. Pool and sauna were great as well as the log burner that kept us warm and cozy in the evenings. Bed is exceptionally comfortable. Will come back again for sure. Only downside was that no one swept up tons of berries on steps and in garden so when we arrived it was extremely slippery and unsafe, so had to do it ourselves. And also no frying pan to fry bacon so had to resort to frying in a wok."
