The Moorland Hotel sits beneath the dramatic granite of Haytor Rock, deep within Dartmoor National Park near Newton Abbot, Devon. Dating from 1887 and once home to Agatha Christie as she wrote her debut novel, it blends period character with modern comforts, including signature bedrooms with premium linens, free wifi and thoughtful touches. The hotel's restaurant and bar serve chef-led menus built around fresh, locally sourced Devon produce, and dogs are warmly welcomed throughout, including in the bar for breakfast. On-site free parking makes exploring easy, and nearby attractions include the Bovey Tracey Heritage Centre and other Museums & Galleries just a few miles away, alongside the famous moorland walks and panoramic views from Haytor itself.
