We got here late last night. Nikki was very helpful. Everything was as she said. The beds were comfortable and all was clean and tidy. We loved the quaintness of the place and am looking forward to a hike that overlooks the ocean.
Visiting out of season on Dartmoor it was still well set up for guests. The location itself was perfect with food and drink just next door. The guys expect muddy clothes and boots after a day on the moors, and couldnt be more helpful to offer local advice.
The hot tub was fantastic, offering a great chance to chill after knocking up some miles, with a lovely fire place to warm and chat after.
Thanks for a great stay
Terry and Nikki were so friendly and greeted us well. The room was clean and at good location - just next to the bus station / Fox Tor Cafe. Highly recommended.
My wife and I stayed here for 6 days the owners were amazing very friendly great people awesome rooms awesome facilities
I highly recommend this place to anyone travelling in Dartmoor

Nothing to fault, really!

Great stay at Ramblers Rest
Great stay at the railway ramblers rest. Nikki and Terry are great hosts and the place was really good for a few nights to explore Dartmoor with our dog as well. Thanks
