Review: The Villa Marina is run by two of the most wonderful people you could ever meet. Vince and Erwan were amazing hosts who would do anything to ensure you had a wonderful stay. The hotel is super clean, the breakfasts ensured lunch may not be required! A location not far from the sea or town centre and an overall lovely atmosphere. Their knowledge of the local area was well received by everyone which helped guests make the most of their time in Torquay. I can’t thank them enough for making my stay..., by Andrew, August 17, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Travelling for work and I had the place to myself due to the pandemic. Felt a bit guilty for putting out the owner, Michelle, just for me but she was very welcoming. I travel quite a bit for work and when you stay in an independent guest house, it can be a bit hit and miss, but I felt immediately comfortable here. The room was well appointed and spotlessly clean, the breakfast was good and they have a well stocked ‘honesty’ bar with reasonable prices.

Review: We had a great stay at Mariners Guest House. Olive and Jen were really helpful and friendly.

The neighborhood is nice and is an easy walk to ferries, the Hoe, the Barbican, and the city centre. I liked the breakfast and had some great conversations with our fellow guests. Would definitely recommend., by Nick, September 27, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Our stay at Gidleigh Park was extraordinary. I had never experienced the level of service offered or the professionalism of the staff. We felt welcomed and cared for as individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best area to stay in Dartmoor Forest?
The best area to stay in Dartmoor Forest is within the national park itself, particularly around the towns of Tavistock, Ashburton, and Moretonhampstead, or in one of the many smaller villages like Widecombe-in-the-Moor.
For couples seeking a tranquil retreat and direct access to outdoor activities, staying in a smaller village like Widecombe-in-the-Moor or one of the scattered farm stays offers an idyllic experience. These locations provide a quiet base for exploring walking trails directly from your accommodation, often featuring traditional pubs and local craft shops. The focus here is on the natural surroundings and a peaceful escape.
Families looking for a blend of comfort and convenience often find Tavistock or Ashburton suitable. Tavistock, a historic market town on the western edge of the park, offers a wider range of amenities, including a bustling pannier market, independent shops, and restaurants.
