Absolutely fabulous few days away. This is a real gem of a hotel. Quiet and secluded but a real joy to experience. The staff are so helpful and genuine (Rosie, Sharon and Oliver deserve medals)
There was plenty of choice for breakfast, the cooked breakfast was tasty and well presented.
The evening dinner menu and quality of food was 10/10. I think it could be even better with a slightly extended menu.
We will be back x

We had to stay at the Rock Inn last minute for a wedding after our airbnb fell through and it was so much better than our original plans. The staff was so helpful and kind, the food was amazing (we had dinner there, as well as the breakfast included with the room fee), and the old pub interiors were so cozy. The rooms could be considered a bit 'dated' but everything was in great condition and very clean so it added to the charm (not to mention the retro gin and whiskey dispenser decoration in our room was very cool!). Driving there is a bit daunting because of the narrow country roads but it is worth the journey. We're hoping to stay again in the future and properly explore Dartmoor from the Rock Inn!

There is a guest book at the Rock Inn which dates back to 1903 and it chronicles the experiences of the people who vacationed there. After reading through it one has to agree that it is a special place.
We had a lovely stay at the Rock Inn. Our room was cosy with a comfy bed. We booked our meals in because the food is superb and the service friendly and attentive. We look forward to going back.

We are an elderly couple & had a four hour journey through difficult weather.
A staff member happened to be outside when we arrived & unasked, helped with parking, unloaded our luggage & took it to our room. On registering we were invited to rest in the lounge, served tea & assisted with telephoning. The room was very comfortable & clean. Breakfast excellent. All the staff were well turned out, friendly & helpful. On departure our luggage was carried from our room & placed in our car.

Our room, at the top, was spacious with a fabulous bathroom.
The evening set Menu was all delicious. Great service in the restaurant. Good wine list, interesting selection.

Summer trip to Dartmoor

Great location.
Sunset picnic on Haytor was perfect after a drink or two in the garden.
Staff were so friendly.
The light menu offered on the days when the restaurant wasn’t fully open was great.
Will definitely be back.
Perfect for summer or winter.

The food was good particularly breakfast, Staff service was good, The room was in the attic(Freebooter) and for a 6'3\" guy a bit dangerous with slanting wood beams at the end of the bed causing a few bruises. The room ventilation and window lighting was poor (2 small windows). There were two flights of narrow stairs to get to the room and no help with carrying two large suitcases

Brilliant

If you are looking for a modern up to date state of the art establishment then this is not for you. If you are looking for bags of character great service fantastic food in a warm cosy tradition environment that is slightly frayed around the edges then look no further. We loved it and would loved to have stayed longer. It is right on the edge of Dartmoor and is absolutely wonderful. The menu is tight but boy oh boy it is excellent. Rooms are great, clean and very tidy with oodles of character. Brilliant

Nice.......but

We had a really nice stay but there were a few things that could be improved. The main body of the hotel is really looking a bit tired. I love its' period charm but the days of horse brasses, highly patterned carpets and black beams are long gone. I was also disappointed with the dinner menu as there was very little choice. In the past it used to have a very interesting offering.

Beautiful rural inn

I had a fantastic stay at The Rock and would visit again. The food was very good and I'd recommend eating at the hotel every night for short visits. There's loads of hilly countryside and the moor nearby, so it's perfect as a base for walking. Note that it's extremely rural - I had no phone signal whatsoever, whilst the wifi was understably a bit flaky.

Lovely romantic weekend away.

Looks and sounds like just a pub, but it is so much more.
The welcome, atmosphere were excellent as were the rooms.
We booked two rooms for one night with my daughter before a business meeting the next day, and we had a superb candle lit dinner. Believe me it's not just pub grub, the cooking was perfection, so was the waiter who served us.
My daughter commented the next day that she felt somebody join her in bed during the night but there was nobody there. Apparently her part of the hotel is known to be haunted so what more could one ask for!

Beautiful Inn with excellent food

We had a lovely stay at the Rock Inn for one night. We were on our way to our son's wedding and wanted to get to Devon early. Our dinner was excellent, staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The Inn itself has so much history and is in a stunning location.
