This place is really nice, lovely hosts, very clean and well maintained spacious rooms and the breakfast was great. Highly recommended!

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, our hosts did everything they could to make us comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, our room was really clean and we had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we would recommend to anyone and would love to come back!

Nothing!

Friendly and helpful staff!

It's conveniently located in the heart of the village of Princetown (and opposite to a big playground, for families). It's more than clean, it's immaculate ! It was refurbished a few years ago and it's a great refurbishment. We loved the Nespresso machine in the room and the huge bed. We received a very warm welcome from the owner. The breakfast was delicious with an impeccable service. The rear car park is convenient. We would definitely recommend it and go back there.

A perfect location for a work business trip. I was greeted by Caroline upon my arrival and met Richard the following day at breakfast. Both were warm and welcoming and responsive to requests. I had opted for a simple breakfast of cereal and toast for the morning, but it was made very clear to me that they would be happy to prepare something cooked should I have wished it. Property was quiet and clean. A welcoming property that I would happily stay in again, if down in Dartmoor.

I had no concerns throughout the stay, which was admittedly only for one night.

The owner was lovely and gave us a warm welcome. The breakfast was lovely and filling. The rooms were clean, comfy, and even had a pod machine! Very good value for money.

Lovely clean & very comfy guest house, everything you need in tastefully decorated rooms. amazing breakfasts, great friendly accommodating owners

Owners were very helpful. We were staying with friends who were all going to a wedding nearby. The hosts allowed us to check in early and made sure a couple of rooms were ready so we had somewhere to leave our bags. They also provided a list of local taxi services we could contact. Breakfast was great with a friendly service Free parking was a bonus

Perfect little find . Host Richard and Caroline were extremely welcoming, place was spotlessly clean, nice fluffy towels, tea and coffee facilities in the room. Eco shower and body wash. Breakfast was superb all locally sourced. Great location, with parking

Leaving

The breakfast was excellent and the packed lunch was very convenient for my onward journey.

The only problem was my room was cold.

We had a very comfortable super-king bed and no traffic noise. The shower was good with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was better than expected with local eggs and organic yoghurt, and a lovely fire in the breakfast room. We met the owner at breakfast and she was very hospitable. Princetown is right in the middle of the moor, so a great location for scenic walks. A good Visitor Information centre and cafes/pubs are nearby. The B&B is on the main street, so not a scenic country location but the advantage is that if the weather turns you are close to the above services. Definitely worth staying 2 nights or more to explore the numerous local walks.

We personally would have appreciated a better selection of teas in the room and proper biscuits. We have probably been spoilt by various farmhouse style B&Bs who give you home made cookies etc! We were a bit chilly when we arrived, it was a damp evening and heating did not come on until around 6 pm (and only for an hour in the morning). However we totally understand that all of the above add to the cost of running an old property and in other ways it was comfortable. Our original booking information said check-in needed to be between 4 and 6 pm, so we arranged our trip accordingly. However, on the day I got a text giving information for a key-safe. So that was a bit confusing! Would have been good to know earlier if there was a key-safe.

The hosts were very helpful with organising our cycle tour. Dartmoor Is so beautiful. Very good breakfast (all local products) and excellent coffee.

Excellent friendly hosts in a clean, calm and comfortable environment.

Great communication,comfortable and spotless room. Due to being on business an early continental breakfast was made available. Safe/secure parking at the rear with a pub about 1 min walk for evening meal.

Nothing

Friendly staff and good breakfast

Location, breakfast, decor, proprietors excellent

The room was a bit small

Views from the room and breakfast Free parking

Private bath 'incrustated' into the room (not possible to open the door completely!)

It was a wonderful experience, a 5-star welcome but in an informal and familiar context. Comfortable and spacious room, rich and varied breakfast, warm and relaxing environment. Within walking distance of the Dartrmoor Prison Museum and Visitor Centre (formerly Duchy Hotel) and in the heart of Dartmoor. Finally, Richard and Claire are wonderful hosts. Hope to return soon for new walks on the beautiful moor.

We had a great experience staying at the Duchy House Bed and Breakfast, its in a great location for exploring Dartmoor. We wanted somewhere on the moor, where we could do some mountain biking, away from the crowds, and Princetown turned out to be a great central location, with an array of good cycle trails and bridleways in every direction. Duchy House Bed and Breakfast is a real gem of a B&B. The house is simply beautiful, you could tell the proprietors put a lot of work in, keeping the place spotlessly clean, immaculately presented with classy décor, and set with interesting & informative fine detail. Our room was light and spacious, the bathroom was modern, with a great shower, our bed was clean and comfortable. Even with our window wide open at night, the place was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was flawless, our host was very attentive and simply could not have done more to make us feel welcome and provided everything you would expect. The full Dartmoor breakfast was beautifully cooked and kept us going for the whole day. Generally, our hosts were very welcoming and, very happy to chat, and share common knowledge of the local area, with their own recommendations, which also turned out to be flawless. Whether you are off road cycling, on road cycling or hiking or just exploring Dartmoor and want somewhere slightly remote, quiet, and away from the crowds, then I’d highly recommend Duchy House.

Breakfast was good on the second morning. First morning it was slightly overlooked...

Breakfast edible but slightly over cooked

Friendly hosts, amazingly clean room and great breakfast. Huge towels large beds!

Nothing everything was great

Excellent hosts and location. Loved our stay.

Nothing.

The owner Richard is a stand up guy. Messaged him in advance and rented the bikes off him for the day. Told me an excellent route to take. Perfect family run place. Would highly recommend and I would stay there again if in area.

Nothing

Right from the very beginning the owners of the B&B were attentive and helpful. On arrival the parking was safe and secure, the room was immaculate and stocked with tea/coffee/water. A nice touch to have espresso machine and not instant in the room. I came to cycle Dartmoor and the owner of the B&B being a keen cyclist was very accommodating, the set up is very cycling friendly. Even Vegan sausages for breakfast!! This place is first class.

Nothing. I’m serious, I’ve stayed in a lot of places traveling for work, cycling holidays, hiking trips, the hosts are great, the location is right at the epicentre of Dartmoor. Ok, one thing…. The hills on Dartmoor are steep😂.

Friendliness and breakfast

nothing much

Nice & clean room, excellent breakfast, good wifi, safe bicycle storage... . Highly recommended !

I loved the way Caroline carried our suitcases up the steep stairs without being asked.. She understood that we were tired and my daughter and I were very impressed with this kind gesture.. Perfect hosts - available but not "in your face"

Perhaps a better quality bread for toast - it was a generic thin sliced bread - perhaps some croissants as well ?

The room was beautiful and modern, great location for walking, the moors were only a couple minutes walk away and you were in the national park. Richard and Caroline were both so lovely and breakfast was amazing. Would 100% stay again.
