My initial telephone call to the hotel when I spoke to Lyn set the standard for the quality of our stay.
Relaxing stay with great service 1 year ago Make sure to take time to admire impressive views when having a pint in the garden. If you are lucky in the garden you may catch a glimpse of the resident cats, sheep and geese. The dining room is such a pleasant place to be, with original decor kept in style with the character of the old monastery. You may expect 30/40 mins of wait for your main to arrive which would be irritating in some places but I personally didn't mind. Staff is made of lovely and friendly people, happy to chat if not super busy. Wine list is impressive yet easy to read and includes a couple of house whites and reds. Whether you prefer fish and chips or wild mushroom ravioli you will be satisfied.
Menu in downstairs restaurant is short but every single dish is perfect. Bathroom is also of quite modest size however spotless clean. Room we were accommodated in was on a smaller side, the majority of space taken by a massive four-poster bed. An amazing spot for a relaxing weekend or holidays, quiet and comfortable. It's a lovely place in rural area, historical building surrounded by rolling hills and green pastures. I had perfect time in South Zeal, staying in Oxenham Arms for a couple of nights. Anybody over 6 ft tall will need to learn to duck or ‘grouse’ as the historic building has some very low doorways as expected of such an ancient hotel that’s reality.īeautiful and comfy place in Dartmoor 10 months ago It’s well signed from the main A road and has good WiFi. Parking is on the village high street and is simple and secure. Despite the weather (chilly for late June) we did enjoy the garden out the back with its splendid character views of the moors. We know they were struggling with chefs and staff but over all it was a very relaxed and pleasant experience in both the classic oak beamed and snug bar, and the historic dining rooms. We had a range of dinners and they were sensible portions, very good and tasty. Great range of beers and gins and the house Sauvignon Blanc was excellent. Tapas dinner that evening was busy and seem short staffed! Very good and generous options on breakfasts but could have done with a refill of coffee or tea.

Quiet (but busy) very scenic and historic hotel full of character 10 months agoīooked in for a 4 day stay on a Thursday to get a very pleasant and humorous introduction by John to our Widecombe room with its 4 ft door way.
There are walks directly from the hotel - but beware, it is very hilly! All in all a very nice stay in this lovely, very old hotel. Parking is very restricted in front of the hotel, although there is a car park around the corner - we were lucky to be able to get a space either in front of the hotel (where there are about 4 or 5 spaces) or in the road where there are no restrictions. The garden was a bonus - huge, with lots of tables, chairs and parasols and looked out over beautiful countryside.

We stayed in the "Bovey Room" which was nicely decorated - we felt that the bed needed a new mattress as you could feel the springs in places, however, it was still comfortable and olde worldy! The food was excellent - a huge, beautifully cooked and presented breakfast and we had two evening meals and couldn`t fault the food - the restaurant manager was really friendly and professional and made guests feel welcome. We stayed at the Oxenham Arms for a four night break on route to join family in North Devon.
