Book a hotel near River Dart Country Park, Newton Abbot

"The staff were wonderful, and the location can't be beat. We unwound each night with a half-pint on the beautiful terrace that is set along the riverbank. The building is a lovely old hodge-podge of levels. We were at the top of it, which involves a stairs-climb that could be hard for some. There is ample parking (very welcome!). It's at the edge of the village, which meant it was a short, pleasant walk to find country lanes for an evening's stroll. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly, and would be happy to stay here again, if we get back to Dorset!"

"Great place to stay. Lovely big room which was very clean with a comfortable bed. Food was great for evening meal and the breakfast was also very good. Will definitely return!! "

"The bar staff, land lady, locals were lovely. If I am down in the area again I will 100% stay here the food was lovely, the beer was good and I felt at home down south. ( I am from West Yorkshire) "

"This was a stay en route to Cornwall. We’ve stayed a few times before. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and breakfast though I feel a few cut-backs have been applied which aren’t what we expected of this quality of hotel. A couple of other issues were instantly addressed."

"We have stayed at the Ilsington several times which speaks for itself."

"A wonderful place in a beautiful part of England. Kevin and Suzy were terrific hosts. I could not have asked for more."
