  After looking at the lovely tree carvings of the area my husband and I were extremely hungry , we made our way to the hotel for lunch , which was an epic fail ! , the welcome was less than Luke warm , it was like it was a major inconvenience for us to be there , as there was nowhere else in town , we proceeded to ask for a lunch menu , a flail of the arm indicated the chalk board of limited choice and not so great prices , we chose 2 chicken Burgers with the lot , and 2 drinks , the Orange juice was presented in the bottle with a straw that was too small and the Lemon lime and Bitters was made with much haste and was spilt so had to be remade much to the disgust of the female bar person !! we were also moved from the table we wanted to sit at as 3 others , who were obviously friends of the proprietors , and told to sit at the rickety dirty table near to 3 T V screens all loudly showing various sports , the food arrived on plates that were so small all the food kept falling off , plus the condiments and cutlery were delivered under the bar staff ladies arm pit so as 2 trips were avoided. When we asked for a couple of extra napkins , it was met with much disdain.
  We didn't feel welcome ,country hospitality was no where to be seen !!!
  we ate our food quickly and hightailed out of there. Not the best experience at all . maybe another vocation for the publican would be in order . The highlight of our experience of Dartmoor was the little old lady who gave us information on the carvings , she was lovely , so hats off to Mrs Pratt !!
