25 years after our first visit (which was the day after our wedding) Sam and Dave, the new owners, did everything possible to help us enjoy our return. The rooms are comfortable, the service friendly and the beer & cider were excellent. But "the difference" was provided by Sam - she is vegetarian so catered for us brilliantly - and... More

Stayed a night after a long circular walk on the Moors. Sam went out of her way to cater for us and did what she could to give us a memorable stay. The location is phenomenal - the heart of some beautiful moorland. It would be fair to say that the room we stayed in was probably due for a... More

Whilst walking the Dartmoor way we stayed a night in the Forest Inn, and after an horrendous day of rain Sam made us very welcome. We had a large bedroom that was really comfortable and we had great food. If you are a vegetarian or a dog owner you are in for a treat as the owners are dog lovers,... More

We had a lovely relaxing few days with our "boys" Murffy and Bailey. We were all made very welcome with excellent hosts, excellent room and excellent food - we were well looked after and nothing was too much trouble - there is a tradition of giving visiting dogs a sausage for breakfast, but as one of our dogs is not...

The Forest Inn is a traditional country inn that has comfortable homely rooms and an excellent wide range of locally sourced food. We had a lovely overnight stay with our 2 greyhounds in a relaxed environment with beautiful walks on the doorstep. Sam and Dave were excellent hosts, making us and our hounds extremely welcome, nothing was too much trouble.... More

We've been staying at the Forest Inn for quite a few years with our dogs and have always enjoyed the traditional nature of it and the great location. Sam and the staff were very welcoming during a recent quick stopover and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Will be back soon!

If you're a jacuzzi, gym, and glitz person The Forest Inn is not for you. However if you are a lover of good food and wine, good ales, and a cosy, friendly atmosphere then you will be made very welcome by Sam and Dave the new owners of the Inn. I have stayed there many times before with groups of... More

Had a very enjoyable stay with my Husband at the Forest Inn. The staff were very helpful and polite. The food was tasty and lots of it. Breakfast set you up for the day and the evening meals were full of variety with lots on the specials board. The rooms were clean, warm and comfortable. The new owners have done... More

We have stayed here many years ago and the hotel has certainly started to improve under new management. This is a lovely place to stay to explore Dartmore. Best thing we like is that dogs are made welcome...............even getting a sausage at breakfast! Rooms are comfortable and clean, food good and drink plentiful.

We parked at the Forrest Inn before doing a moorland walk. We did this so as to eat at the pub after. I'd not been to the Forrest Inn for about 10 years but had heard it wasnt good a few years ago. We saw on the website it is under new management so thought we'd give it a go.... More
