Perfect rest on cycling holiday

Bed was very comfortable and room was lovely. Gorgeous view. Food was good too and I appreciated the breakfast hamper although some might prefer a hot breakfast. Only minor annoyance was hearing lots of kitchen noise when I was trying to get an early night. But I was so tired I couldn’t be bothered to get up to ask anyone to be quiet! Overall I would go back. The staff were all lovely and helpful and found me safe overnight storage for my bike.

Room was clean. Mattress wasnt all that comfortable. Since this is an old old bldg, you have to watch your head, especially if your over 5'5. Food was good. Toffee pudding was only average unfortunately. Otherwise was really good food. First night there was music playing that we could hear in our room. It finally stopped about 9:30-10. There was a security light that went off outside about 1 that shone right into our window and lit it up like Christmas. Thankfully it went off after a few minutes, but it woke us up!

Overpriced and unfriendly

Lovely views but that's all that was good. The service was dreadful, from chasing phone calls on arrival time (not allowed any later than 8pm no exceptions). Breakfast is non existent and won't arrive until 8:15-8:30 which doesn't help for either business trips or those who want to make the most of the area. Overpriced food and hidden service charges and the food was mediocre. Drinks stop being served as soon as you finish eating (21:45) even though there were two tables and at least 9 people in the bar. No staff on site at night. Mould in the bathroom.

Disappointing

A not so warm welcome to a not so warm establishment. it states check in is from 2pm, but when i arrived at 4.30pm I was told I would have to wait in the car as they don't open until 5. The whole point of booking here was so that I could attend a Teams call at 4.45 which I then couldn't do. The whole place looks tired and needs a re-vamp. On the plus side the bed was comfy, and the food was excellent as were the waiting staff

Amazing potential but unfortunately really lacking in any customer experience. Accommodation managed under a very strict and fixed regime which removes any atmosphere and comfort from the stay. Room lovely but very cold. Food was good. Staff trying to be over professional but lacks any personality. Management ..... only word to describe..... rude and unwelcoming.

Fantastic stay near Oakhampton

The hotel was easy to find. A very old property full of character positioned on the edge of Dartmoor. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. The hotel had recently changed from a cooked breakfast to providing a hamper box in the morning. We were asked if we wanted to change our booking to room only. I am glad that we didn’t because the hamper was full of local produce that was just fantastic. We certainly did not miss a cooked breakfast. Well done Bearslake Inn for a throughly lovely stay. We will certainly return again.
