The Moorland Hotel
Set at the base of Haytor on Dartmoor, The Moorland Hotel boasts 11 acres of landscaped grounds…
Our View
On Dartmoor is the village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor where you will find one of the finest examples of a 16th-century church house, originally used for parish festivities or 'ales'. Today the Church House is still in use by the local community, with various groups and clubs using it as the monthly village market, but it can be visited by National Trust members when not in use. You can become your own house guide - collect the key from the staff at the shop, which is adjacent to the Church House. Sexton's Cottage became the home of the 'Sexton' who looked after the church and church yard. Since 1976 it has been both a shop and information centre for the National Trust.

About the area
Discover Devon
With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon’s glorious English Riviera.
Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west’s most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them.
Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon’s towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.
