Having recently undergone a big makeover, the Carpenters Arms is ready to welcome guests with warm hospitality and excellent home-cooked food. Bright, clean and cosy, the pub is very popular so booking ahead is advised.
A delightful Dartmoor inn surrounded by moorland and close to the village centre. Food is home cooked and real ales are available. In winter a roaring log fire will keep you warm and during the summer months there's a sheltered garden with access via a bridge over a moorland stream. Dogs are welcome on a lead.
The very heart of Dartmoor, this village is tucked into breathtakingly beautiful countryside. A couple of friendly pubs, cosy tea-rooms serving cream teas and a blissful, far-from-the-modern-world atmosphere.
Set in the heart of the beautiful 'chocolate box' village of Lustleigh, this thatched pub dates back to the 15th century and offers a warm welcome to locals, walkers, cyclists and visitors alike. There's a lovely cottage garden to enjoy on warmer days and open log fires to snuggle up in front of during the winter.
A welcoming pub in a lovely little Dartmoor village, with a bar, restaurant and family room, good British pub menu with children's options and a Sunday carvery.
Home to a Roman Catholic community of Benedictine Monks, Buckfast Abbey is a living monastery that is open to visitors. You can pick up some Buckfast Tonic Wine or handmade gifts in the Monastic Produce shop.
Perfectly placed in the rolling hills of Dartmoor, this ancient inn (dates back to around 1413) is an ideal place to stop for a good selection of real ales and traditional pub grub. Dogs are welcome.
While away a day angling for brown trout (permits available onsite), bird watching, picnicking or taking a stroll around the lake. There's also a designated trail for less able visitors with seats and information enroute, plus loos and parking.
A popular Inn with a great selection of real ales and a menu created using locally sourced ingredients. Full renovation took taken place following a devastating thatch fire in 2016 and the pub now has a fresh and modern feel.
Delicious cakes and earthy farmhouse cooking inspired by nearby Dartmoor. Don't forget to pick up a freshly baked cake while you're here.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
