About this property
With a stunning location in Dartmoor National Park, this inn is set in the rural hamlet of Haytor Vale. Dating back to the 18th century, it offers fantastic food and free Wi-Fi throughout. A carefully chosen wine and local ale list accompanies the menu at The Rock Inn. Freshly caught fish, locally sourced meat and game, and locally grown produce feature on the à la carte menu. Rooms at The Rock are traditionally furnished and elegant in style. Each benefits from a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and an en suite bathroom with free toiletries. Newton Abbot is a 20-minute drive from The Rock Inn, and the coast at Torquay is only 16 miles away. The surrounding parkland is ideal for walking and cycling.
