Two Bridges Hotel

We had a great stay at this lovely hotel. The food was excellent, the service was first-class, and the views of Dartmoor are amazing. This is not the first time we have stayed at the Two Bridges and it never disappoints. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay a memorable one and the location is absolutely beautiful.

We went to the Two bridges hotel yesterday after a walk on the moors . It was a lovely cosy place and lots of character . We decided to have lunch there because of previous reviews . We had a ploughman’s which had a nice slice of pork pie but had a dry brioche bread roll which you would expect to have fresh bread with it . We also had a cream tea but again the scone and the cream wasn’t fresh either and for £8 you would expect it to be very good . Don’t understand how you can get a cream tea so wrong for something so simple . The children’s ham egg and chips were nice . We don’t eat much out these days because of affordability so we were a bit disappointed with a few aspects of the lunch.

Our second time here at the Two Bridges and it has once again been a great place for a peaceful break away. The room was fantastic with a very comfortable four poster bad and a spa bath in the en suit. Great access to the Moor and everything is within a short drive. The food is excellent with a good varied choice for all meals with great service from a very polite and attentive team throughout the days and evenings. Even if the weather is bad it's good just to relax in the lounges by the fires or just lay about in your room. Great atmosphere, great place.

Last time we visited we found this hotel by accident and only had a cup of tea, this time we went there deliberately for a cream tea. I can honestly say it is the best cream tea I have had in Devon (or anywhere) for many years. Lots of clotted cream and a deep, dark tasty strawberry jam- not the anaemic, pale jam you get elsewhere. The staff who served were chatty and friendly and despite being busy did not make us feel rushed. We will be back!

We just returned home from a lovely vacation to Dartmoor, and we decided this time to stay at the Two Bridges Hotel. The hotel itself is tucked away in a perfect spot within the park, giving walking access to the beautiful path to Wistman's Wood, in addition being a good jumping off point to head to several hikes, walks, and tors. Things to note about the hotel: 1) We found prior to our arrival that the website to book was a bit confusing. We specifically wanted a king size bed and we had to call the hotel in order to ensure that our room would have one. I feel it would behoove the establishment to have this listed on the actual booking pages. Even the woman I spoke to said it was a bit confusing when I called. 2) This is not a run of the mill chain hotel. This is a locally owned establishment that has seen many years, and countless generations. It doesn't have modern trimmings like a pool, gym, etc. What it does have is a lovely dining room, and two lounges with big beautiful fireplaces and clocks that are never on the right time. 3) We stayed in room 38 which is on the main level past the kitchens. It was a really nice room, a bit dated, but we didn't mind at all. Mostly, we couldn't get the temperature sorted. If it was on anything higher than 1, you would be sweltering by the middle of the night. In addition, there is a light on that goes off after 11 that is very bright right outside the main window. If you ask, they will turn it off if you go to sleep before then. The room itself had a lovely four poster bed, and a beautiful bathtub. The main two things with the bathroom were the toilet often wouldn't flush, and the water pressure was slow, so you need patience. 4) The food here was lovely. I have celiac disease and I was looked after very well. On our first night, we did the tasting menu, which we thoroughly enjoyed, and did breakfast there each morning and found the options to be delicious. The one thing I will say that for me (the gluten free party) wasn't as good as elsewhere was the gluten free cream tea. My husband had a regular cream tea and said it was delicious. 5) The service here was really lovely. In particular, Jules in the evenings, and Natasha during breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and look forward to returning in a couple of years!

An excellent overnight stay with friends, cream tea on arrival (fresh home made scones) followed by a great four course evening meal in the characterful restaurant. All staff very professional, friendly and smiling which makes such a refreshing change in today's world. Breakfast following morning after a good night's rest was very good, with full range of freshly cooked to order choices. Thoroughly recommended.
