FULL Information

Ramblers Rest is located in the heart of Dartmoor in the village of Princetown. This guesthouse does things a bit differently to a traditional B&B, whilst allowing the flexibility of renting a room for one or more nights.  The rooms are planned to allow superior comfort (quality beds, bedding and linen); without removing the independence for the guests, allowing the practicalities of having a fridge for your drinks or your packed lunches, microwave, kettle, coffee machine (with compostable pods) and even a kitchen sink.  Crockery and cutlery are provided.  The ultimate treat is the 4.25m hot spa pool that is available to all guests in the guest house rooms.

As well as the spa pool.  Guests have other facilities that they can also use.  There is an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, log burner and borrow BBQs and a sheltered seating area.  Guests can also sit outside on the sun terrace and perhaps enjoy an ice-cream from the Ramblers’ Rest Ice Cream Kiosk.

  • Ramblers’ Rest also offer a glamping option with two octagonal beds, featuring superior comfort king size airbeds, ready made all in a small enclosed glamping area.

Dogs are welome.

Princetown is well renowned as the highest village on Dartmoor and one of the highest in the UK.  Although only a small village, Princetown is a hub of activity with 2 pubs, 3 cafes and a few shops, including a helpful general stores and Post Office,  as well as the Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre.

Ramblers Rest is taking part in Visit Tamar Valley’s Green Tourism Programme. The programme champions climate-positive steps in the Tamar Valley.
