Dartington Hall

We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful location. It was lovely to be able to explore the gardens and estate grounds at our leisure, as well as enjoying discounts in the on-site Barn cinema, pub and shop. We didn’t make use of the gym facilities, but they are included too. The breakfast was ample and delicious. It is an easy and beautiful 30 mins walk into Totnes, so you can leave the car behind (parking also included). In fact, so much is included that I suspect it would be worth staying the night instead of paying for everything as a day visit! Thoroughly recommend.

The area is absolutely incredible and this was the perfect location to stay at to explore South Devon. Breakfast was delicious and the grounds are the most peaceful and beautiful - was above and beyond our expectations. Any issues we had with the booking of breakfast for example or understanding how to get around were solved immediately. Dartington Hall also has its own cinema where we went a couple nights and had a wonderful time with lots of residents attending too who were lovely to meet. Cannot recommend it enough!

Amazing room, stunning views onto the grand court. Restaurant was very good and there's a handy lounge downstairs from the bedroom so we could socialise with the baby on the monitor. Staff friendly and helpful. We had a separate bathroom but there were nice robes to cross the corridor in and the bathroom was lovely and clean with a great shower. We paid an extra fiver for a travel cot but to be honest this location is stunning and I couldn't quite believe we only paid £70 for b&b. Breakfast was also excellent.

Beautiful, very peaceful grounds for lovely morning walk, fabulous barn cinema, convenient location, room was very clean, interesting history, free parking, nice new bathroom/shower, lots of towels and a first rate contemporary cafe with wonderful food all on sight. The room rate with breakfast was very good considering all the additional extras.

Beautiful location (expected, but surpassed expectations). Staff warm, friendly and helpful (unexpected, definitely surpassed expectations). Right priorities - immaculate bedlinen, towels and robe, preservation of the character of the place, use of local sources. I liked the much nicer bedside light that I was lent to replace a broken one (see below). I liked the view from my room (West Wing). I liked the home-made granola. The description 'wedding and conference centre' made me expect the old Dartington to have been turned into an ordinary corporate enterprise, but I found nothing of the sort.
