Why people visit here

  • Best Known For
    The historic hotel in a building that was once home to Lady Jane Grey. Now updated, it’s still superbly romantic with its historic features and Dartmoor location, but it’s fast becoming known for its exceptional and contemporary spa as well.
  • Most Loved By
    Couples who stay in the hotel and enjoy days of dining and pampering, but also groups of friends on a spa day to the contemporary and self contained spa complete with its own 'spatisserie'.
  • Safe Hands for Cancer
    Accredited by the SATCC and part of the Spabreaks.com Safe Hands for Cancer Collection, this spa welcomes people living with or beyond cancer and offers a number of specialist trained therapists.
  • Exceptional Spa Feature
    It’s a self contained space where you could happily spend all day, which means its the perfect addition to an overnight break, but very much an experience in its own right for those on a spa day as well. The addition of the spa was a tipping point that earned it its five star status, and it’s little wonder why. Purposely designed, it’s the perfect combination of holistic and modern wellbeing where they have really thought about the details.
