Popped in for a drink and meal whilst out & about on Dartmoor, hoping for a 'traditional' pub. What a disappointment. The bar looks like it's come from an 80's wine bar & the dining areas look like canteens. No atmosphere at all, and they had Radio 2 playing instead of Cds - and much as I love Radio 2,... More

I'll be brutally honest and start by saying we only went here for dinner on a miserable Saturday November night because we had purchased a deal for the pub on Discount website Groupon. As we had to make a 60ish mile roundtrip to get there I was hoping and praying it was going to be worth it, and I'm pleased... More

Visited for lunch. Decor leaves much to be the desires, and the doors and door handles were filthy. However, their card does state "Muddy paws, boots and hooves welcome!", so it's no surprise that things are a bit rough. The loos especially, were rather institutional and flimsy. We had a mushroom and goats' cheese starter, and platter of roasted and... More

We happened to find this place by accident on our way to Princetown. On checking in we loved the warm, friendly atmosphere, selection of local brewed beers, hospitality, and kindness to put us up without an advanced booking. We immediately had a pint then a walk in the surrounding scrub. We returned for dinner which was a treat. Lovely, fresh... More

Our first visit to Dartmoor and the location of the Forest Inn is sublime, surrounded by dramatic scenery and interesting walks, however we were disappointed by the restricted access to the River Dart. The general ambience of the pub was cheerful and welcoming and the staff treated all requests with alacrity. Despite being a dog friendly establishment we found the... More

We visited Dartmoor and thought this pub looked nice and cosy, it is, and the guest beer/cider/ale is excellent, the landlord is really nice and friendly but the food here is awful, and expensive. I had half a rack of ribs it was dry, the chips were good though, the salad had not been washed. My wife had the curry... More

A very comfortable and exceedingly friendly place to stay. Good food and drink, friendly, smiling and most welcoming staff and as dog friendly as it could possibly be. Fabulous location. More

Located in the middle of Dartmoor National Park, the Forest Inn is a friendly pub that also has 10 rooms for hire on b&b basis. Lovely walks onto moors, fields and a stone bridge over the Dart river start at the doorstep. Staff are friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. Food is good and there is a good variety to...
