What a beautiful setting, we were blown away! The rooms were comfortable, clean and wonderfully supplied with toiletries and hot drinks. The beds were extremely comfortable, best night sleep I’ve had in ages. Parking is free, just register it at reception. Staff were efficient, pleasant and helpful. We will certainly be coming back.

Vacation
The first room was not good and the heat did not work. But we were moved to a new room. That was absolutely beautiful spacious, working heat, comfortable, clean with sitting area. So the second room gets all the five stars! Staff and food were all wonderful!

Lovely stay..grounds are amazing and really liked the pub. The menu was a bit limited but it was tasty and had Devon Red on draft. We had a separate bathroom which was small but fine for the one night

The room was OK. Compact.
Quite a few issues with it none of which were rectified during our stay, despite reporting at the Welcome Desk.
I have to say it was difficult to communicate with the team prior to arrival.
The Staff at the White Hart were lovely. The Grounds are lovely.

Lovely gardens. Excellent menu at the White Hart and a great cafe at the Green Table. Very comfortable and clean room with en suite. The courtyard and buildings were historically very interesting. We were thee to attend a funeral and so our experience at Dartington Hall was a lovely surprise. Lovely staff at check-in and in the restaurants.
