Lovely views but that's all that was good.The service was dreadful, from chasing phone calls on arrival time (not allowed any later than 8pm no exceptions). Breakfast is non existent and won't arrive until 8:15-8:30 which doesn't help for either business trips or those who want to make the most of the area. Overpriced food and hidden service charges and the food was mediocre. Drinks stop being served as soon as you finish eating (21:45) even though there were two tables and at least 9 people in the bar. No staff on site at night. Mould in the bathroom.

Overpriced and unfriendly

A very nice place with beautiful surroundings.

On arrival decided to have a drink in the bar prior to checking in, large variety of beers and spirits and a warm welcome.
We stayed in the Cider Press, lovely room with everything thing that you could need, clean, tidy and very comfortable bed.
We ate in the restaurant and the food was superb, all locally sourced, the steak was one of the best that I have ever had. My Girlfriend had the chicken and this was superb too. Overall the menu was excellent, all the food that we saw coming from the kitchen looked really good and I do not believe you could make a bad choice.
The waitresses were very helpful and attentive, The Bearslake Inn operates with very high standards.
We ordered the breakfast hamper, and what a really good idea, it arrives at your door in a picnic basket, we had muesli, croissants, muffins, and as with everything else this was excellent.
Ideally situated within Dartmoor, we walked to Meldon viaduct and reservoir the next morning along the Granite Way.
We would highly recommend both eating and staying at the Bearslake.

Overnight stay

Bearslake Restaurant and Inn
A one night stay to remember
Jan 2024 • Couples

Lisa was kind and helpful when we booked and it was therefore decided to take a deal including breakfast and dinner options with the room.
This was lucky because both meals and the Bar were a very high standard and added delight to the stay. We took over the room and were amazed at the size quality and general aspects of the room.
There was even a welcome for our dog.

The access to the carpark was a beautiful walk around the building to the carpark over a discreet bridged river walkway that added excitement to the stay.

The building itself was historic and beautiful ano had some quirky aspects that were as endearing as the impeccable upkeep and immaculate hygiene.

The bar offered excellent choices and the relaxed atmosphere and offered menus meant we were very much looking forward to dinner.
Each of the five or six staff we spoke to during our stay added personal touches that made our visit uniquely enjoyable.

Dinner choices from the menu spoilt us for choice, and it was clear that the kitchen had a commitment that made all the dishes on the carefully put together menu tempting. We were provided seats with more than enough room in a very cosy and popular dining room that was well attended by staff. Without being overbearing there was never a time when we noticed we had waited for anything and the customer focus was clearly working for everyone else dining there.
The starter was exceptionally good and this gave us confidence in some exciting choices for main course. We left room for a similarly delicious dessert, and were pleased to remain in the bar.. with the other happy guests.

It was a fantastic evening.

A short stay not to be missed

We had an excellent stay at Bearslake Inn. 5-star service, outstanding food, and spacious, clean rooms exceeded expectations. The breakfast hamper was a delightful touch, enjoyed amidst the breathtaking Dartmoor National Park views. The inn's dog-friendly amenities, with treats, bowls, and blankets, were a lovely addition. Already planning our next stay!

Exceptional

Delicious grown up food, great service, good location and friendly staff. I enjoyed sea bass and vegetables and my husband enjoyed red deer. Good for a special meal. We didn’t bring the children but they would have been welcomed. Will eat here again when we are in the area.

Delicious food, great service

I booked a table for 14 for Boxing Day lunch for a family gathering midway between our respective homes. The booking team were superb, including accommodating a last minute change to numbers due to Covid. Nonetheless we were still a large group of 11. The whole team were friendly, professional, and  helpful and despite having had a very busy month, we were incredibly well looked after. The menu was extensive (suiting teenagers through to older folk), the food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful family event. I would highly recommend to all 😀

Superb service and food 

We had a fabulous time at Bearslake,  the building is from the 13th century and has that cosy feeling,  the food is amazing also , definitely 10 out of 10

10th September, ordered a de-caf late coffee and pint of beer.
After taking our order and paying the barstaff came back to say their coffee machine was not working, this was same excuse on a busy Sunday afternoon we had about two months ago but at least they had a decaf filter coffee last time. We accepted a de-caf filter coffee instead. The pint arrived and a short while later another waiter to say they had no decaf filter coffee either. Incredulous for a busy br and restaurant.
I was not happy that we could not sit together and enjoy our respective drinks so asked that our order was refunded as we ordered two drinks to enjoy together. Only the coffee was refunded which I think reflected a poor attitude on the manager who was called to arrange the refund. Am I unreasonable in this? Have been coming here for years but not any more. Make up your own mind.

Second bad experience

The prices for wine are quite high; £10.95 for a 250ml Sauvignon. 
The room was cold, despite asking twice for it to be resolved. 
They out a 10% service charge on all the bill and that included me going to the bar for drinks. 
You can only use the front door at certain times but not when checking out at 9.15am. Had to go around the back and side of the building. 
Could do with some general TLC.
