Comfort and good service.
We stayed just one night at The Burrator Inn but what a lovely stay. We had a tasty dinner before retiring to our large, well furnished, comfortable bedroom. The room was warm and welcoming with a good en suite bathroom. The breakfast menu was excellent, and the staff friendly and efficient. We would certainly recommend it to our friends.

Nice pub style hotel, enjoyed our stay.
Our stay was good, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was clean, tidy and comfy. The bathroom was a little older, could do with a little decoration and the shower head needed replaced but otherwise it was fine. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Breakfast was good too.

Couples Weekend with Dog
So, the Burrator is a nice prominent Dartmoor pub grub place with rooms. Good Things: • Parking, plenty of it and lots of space • Newly refurbished outside and in, very well done • Outstanding selection of beers and wines • Good bar service • Food quality good Not so good: • Check-in was disorganized, chaotic, and took too long, especially as we had our dog. • Only two decaf coffee (bags) were available in the room; on enquiry, we were told to use the non-existent! Pod espresso machine, this remained unresolved. • Meals are served with the French fries in a bowl on a plate, a common ruse to make the plate seem complete, not my best thing in the world. • Room TV was not tuned into the hotel Wi-Fi, and I was unable to do it myself for unknown reasons Would I go back? • For a couple’s weekend with the dog, if check-in is smoother, they get a coffee machine in all rooms and fix the TV Wi-Fi, then yes, I would go back. • For a working stopover, yes.

Disappointed
Recent renovated so generally looks good. Huge bed, good linens and towels. Friendly staff. Sadly, plumbing needs a big fix. Room is very noisy with traffic noise, as right on the road - don’t come expecting a quiet Dartmoor pub! Also difficult to comfortably shut out noise as room way too hot due to excessive heat from towel rail in wet room (which was needed to dry the place out!). Worse, it did not feel COVID clean…leftover toothpaste in glass and generally poor standard of cleaning in room and pub loo. Food tasty enough but served lukewarm. This place could be great (if you are not a light sleeper) but needs improvement.

Comfortable and convenient for Dartmoor.
Recently renovated and under new management. We had a problem with our booking and Mike the manager went out of his way to sort it out for us. Rooms were clean and bathrooms modern and clean. Nice big beds. 2 minutes from Dartmoor national park. Would definitely go back.

Lovely little b&b. Great sized room, friendly staff, good selection of drinks and food options, everything we could've hoped for. Staff leant us a map and booked us a table for dinner even though they were busy. Close to the burrator reservoir which is a beautiful walk. Would stay again!

Great find
Really helpful staff, lovely full English breakfast, + cereal, juice & toast, loads of tea coffee . Room No 7 family room, was very spacious with a huge en-suit bathroom,I kept the blind closed as the kids in the park opposite would have had nightmares with the large window clear glass 😨 they have pool table, dart board kids play area what more could you ask for. Would definitely book again.
