Even if this pub is not located in the middle of Dartmoor, you will find here the true heart of Dartmoor. Real pub, real ale, real people: what did you expect ? Simone and Alan are very nice people that travelled a lot and have a lot of stories to share, we had a wonderfull evening talking with them.

A rare example of a proper pub. Exceptional hosting and a dog friendly environment.

Stayed here with my mum for a sad occasion but Simone and Alan at the Northmore really cheered us up, they were absolutely lovely and really good about letting us come and go at awkward hours. The pub was fantastic, proper traditional old style with very good ales! The cider was also excellent and company was wonderful. We got chatting to some locals who recommended a nice local walk to a stone circle so we hope to come back and stay again to give that a try!

The company food and drink

Nothing

A good range of local cider, enjoyable conversation with locals

Narrow twisty approach roads with occasional passing places means not suitable for timid drivers

Friendly staff and the pub customers. They all know each other and made me feel at home straight away - the pub is a proper local! Located right next to Dartmoor, 2 min slow drive to parking for walking. Food was solid pub fare, nothing fancy, which was exactly what I wanted after my 3 hour walk, and the shower functioned well enough. It is a dog-friendly pub so you must like or be tolerant of dogs (or bring your own of course). The room cost reflects the rustic/budget accommodation you are getting.

Breakfast is extra - I assumed it was included (my mistake?). Having said that it was a good full english. I left feedback on a proper clean of the bathroom which they said they would attend to, so should be a lot cleaner when you stay.

Lovely staff and food, location was beautiful too!

It's very very rustic, so be prepared. I personally loved it.
