I stayed for four nights on a walking holiday and everything about my stay was first class. Mark and his staff were very welcoming. The food was excellent with huge portions and fast service. The beer was well kept and reasonably priced. The room (room 2) was clean, well maintained and with excellent views across the valley. I would recommend... More

Position on East Dartmoor, setting and views, welcome and hospitality, room, food (we didn't need any lunch after that breakfast !), beer all A1. In particular many thanks to Mark for helping with flat tyre (over and above the call of duty) and directions to tyre fitters. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic little local village pub. Stayed here for a birthday weekend and had an amazing time. Hospitality, accommodation and food were fabulous. We stayed in the Suite up in the roof and it was really nice. It is lovely to have a separate place to sit, relax, watch tv etc without having to lie on your bed. My... More

We stayed here for one night recently and were left a bit 'piggy in the middle'. The location is excellent for exploring the moor and surrounding areas with the Buckfastleigh Railway close by. Good selection of beers and ciders too. Decent food selection as well on the menu. We had a nice friendly welcome and made to feel at home.... More

We were on our way from N.Ireland to Spain and wanted a typical English pub to stay in. This place filled the bill perfectly, Mark, one of the owners met us as we arrived and showed us to a comfortable room at the top of the pub. My only complaint was that with the slopping roof the shower was a... More

Although remote, the inn is well positioned for access onto eastern Dartmoor. Food is excellent. Evening meals arrived quickly and the portions were generous. Hearty cooked breakfast and all with superb view over the countryside. We stayed 5 nights and will return again.

Just returned from my second stay at the Tradesman's Arms. I first spent a couple of nights there 18 months ago with my mum. When my husband and I decided at the last minute to head off on our motorbikes for a night away, the Tradesman's Arms was a logical choice, as a proper pub with comfortable accommodation, a reasonable...

Due to extreme cold we looked for a B&B instead of our intended campsite. This hotel was broadly in the area we wanted, had good reviews and apparently offered very good value for money. I can't fault our decision. The top floor suite was spacious (though you have to adjust to the acute slopes of the ceiling away from the... More
