A peaceful retreat
The staff was friendly and quickly filled our requests. The gardens have great potential,however, we were there before the full season. Loved seeing the beautiful old Bentley's. The full English breakfast was bounteous and very good. We enjoyed making a cup of coffee in the evening in our room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom seemed newly fitted with instant hot water in the shower. As promised it is located inside Dartmoor and we woke one morning to see horses standing in the field on the other side of the hedgerow fence. Our stay was in the middle of a week and it was relatively peaceful.

Short stay at the Lavender House Hotel
Fantastic Hotel in a great location. We were put in one of the newly refurbished rooms and it was really nice, warm, clean and well decorated. The money paid matched the room. Breakfast was .. well.. brilliant. Croissant, fruits, juices tea and coffee and a full english which was very well done. All in all a great stay. The only criticism could be the bar area in the evenings. In fairness we were there out of season but when we went down to the bar on a few evenings staff scattered from watching TV and so we went back to our room, but there was noone down there in terms of customers anyway so no real bad?! :)

Excellent choice for our purposes.
Excellent small country hotel near Dartmoor National Park. Only a few minutes drive from the town of Ashburton, but a car is needed to make the most of this location. Very clean and comfortable. We would return again.

The Lavender House hotel
This hotel is worth far more than the 2* rating it has recieved. The familty are doing it up and from the car park looks a little shabby, but do not be put off. The rooms we had were beautiful, excelent quality bedding and towels. It was spotlessly clean. Downstairs the bar area is lovely and the food EXCELLENT, both dinner and breakfast. The gardens are lovely, with great views.

The Lavender House : bonne adresse
Un peu au milieu de nulle part mais dans une région agréable et calme. la qualité de l'accueil compense largement la situation, de plus le gérant est francophone. Cet hôtel se fait une spécialité dans les mariages de style (avec Rolls et Bentley!). Néanmoins, c'est une escale très agréable pour une ou deux nuits. Un seul regret, pas d'accès au joli jardin pour les clients ordinaires.

Gemütliches Hotel mit altem Charme
Das Lavender House Hotel mit einem fantastischen Garten liegt etwas außerhalb der Kleinstadt Ashburton an einer schmalen Straße, die ins "Herz" des Dartmoor führt. Es ist ein famliär geführtes Hotel, in dem man gute Tipps für Ausflüge in die Umgebung bekommt und das einfache eine angenehme Atmösphäre hat.
