Comfortable, friendly and highly recommended
Superb place to stay. Everything you could need was available in the room with lovely additional features like the fridge, microwave and coffee machine. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had a great bath and shower. We were met by the owners and shown round the facilities, including the amazingly large spa pool! It was December for our stay but we managed 90 minutes relaximg in warm water before venturing out for food.
Warm, welcoming and comfortable! Would highly recommend a stay at the Ramblers Rest!

We got here late last night. Nikki was very helpful. Everything was as she said. The beds were comfortable and all was clean and tidy. We loved the quaintness of the place and am looking forward to a hike that overlooks the ocean.

Visiting out of season on Dartmoor it was still well set up for guests. The location itself was perfect with food and drink just next door. The guys expect muddy clothes and boots after a day on the moors, and couldnt be more helpful to offer local advice.
The hot tub was fantastic, offering a great chance to chill after knocking up some miles, with a lovely fire place to warm and chat after.
Thanks for a great stay

Lovely room, very well equipped with comfortable bad, seating area, kitchen, en-suite with bath/shower - excellent facilities.
Friendly and helpful hosts, allowed us to check in early and check out late! Provided fresh milk and all basic kitchen items.
Clean, warm, well maintained.
Nothing to fault, really!
Thanks for a lovely stay, we’ll be back.
