Excellent location. Stunning grounds and buildings.
Spent a relaxing couple of nights here. Beautiful grounds to walk around and good food options on site. Slept fantastically in my cosy comfortable bedroom.
What a beautiful setting, we were blown away! The rooms were comfortable, clean and wonderfully supplied with toiletries and hot drinks. The beds were extremely comfortable, best night sleep I’ve had in ages. Parking is free, just register it at reception. Staff were efficient, pleasant and helpful. We will certainly be coming back.
It was great to stay on the Dartington Estate and be able to use the White Hart for an evening meal and we enjoyed being able to walk around the gardens after breakfast before we left.
The first room was not good and the heat did not work. But we were moved to a new room. That was absolutely beautiful spacious, working heat, comfortable, clean with sitting area. So the second room gets all the five stars! Staff and food were all wonderful!
Lovely stay..grounds are amazing and really liked the pub. The menu was a bit limited but it was tasty and had Devon Red on draft. We had a separate bathroom which was small but fine for the one night
The room was OK. Compact.
Quite a few issues with it none of which were rectified during our stay, despite reporting at the Welcome Desk.
I have to say it was difficult to communicate with the team prior to arrival.
The Staff at the White Hart were lovely. The Grounds are lovely.
