Kestor Inn, Manaton, Dartmoor National Park, Newton Abbot, Devon

We should have booked as it was a sunny day and a Bank Holiday. The pub was busy but despite that we were made very welcome, served quickly and enjoyed our meals. Lots of choice of delicious food and sensible prices too. Looking forward to our next visit.

What a fabulous hotel to base an exploration of the area, or just to stay there? I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with all aspects of the Kestor Inn. You will be greeted and perhaps entertained by your host, who will make sure you have everything you would need to make the best of your stay. The hotel may be a little isolated, but its non the worse for that! The bed was very comfortable, and the en suite, though not the biggest, certainly served its purpose. Breakfast was cooked to perfection, and the bacon is special to my way of thinking, just beautiful. We enjoyed only one evening meal during our stay and it was well presented, and exceedingly tasty throughout. Real ale was fresh pulled at the bar, very tasty, and not as expensive as some places I've stayed at? At some point we'll be back there again. My recommendation is to make sure you can enjoy this gem of a hotel. If it's in your area, just book it!

Lovely, quiet , Dog friendly pub. Had the ground floor room. Everything you needed there. Had meals in the bar too which was very nice. Nice selection of dishes and drinks etc. About thirty minutes away from any local shops.

It’s an old pub in a beautiful area, a few issues in the room, food was good, especially breakfast.

Although we live in Torquay we joined with friends and spent a great weekend at the Kestor Inn. Spending time on the moor is a world away, time to relax, enjoy the quiet and the beautiful scenery all around. We ate at the pub and enjoyed lovely food for dinner and breakfast each day, the Pork was amazing ! James, Gary & Julie are excellent landlords with humour, which made our stay most enjoyable. It was our second stay and will not be our last ! Chris, Tessa and friends.

This was our third stay at the Kestor inn . Our room was comfortable and clean . The owners and their staff are friendly and efficient and the food , both breakfast and dinner were good . The location and the view is great too , I’m sure we will return

Clearly a lovely local pub in the winter. Just what we had hoped for. A good meal and quiet early night on a winters night. It rather backfired with a band playing beneath our room until closing and the fire alarm going off at 2pm. The latter was unlucky but an email warning us about the band would have been polite and easy given November is far from the high season. Other nights we would have enjoyed it. But after a really busy stressful week, a long drive and 6 hours walking on the moor - we were far from refreshed after a few hours disturbed sleep! This is not to take away from the friendly staff and perfectly adequate room and food. Just warn us next time 😊

Had a lovely weekend on Dartmoor in Kestor Inn. The room had a view to die for, a HUGE bed, warm and comfortable. Great breakfast, plenty of it, Perfectly cooked evening meal. The restaurant/bar area was so clean and lovely. All the staff we met were so friendly and helpful, taking time for a chat. Perfect stay, would definately stay there again.

The host was very friendly and very helpful. Breakfasts were tasty and as the weather was so awful we had our evening meal there which was very good value for money and a good choice.
