Bearslake Inn - One of the best Country Pubs on Dartmoor

Located between the small market towns of Tavistock and Okehampton, Bearslake Inn is one of the best Country Pubs on Dartmoor from which to explore the delights of the local Moors and Tors of the National Park. As a 13th century Dartmoor Inn, we're a sanctuary of rest for weary travellers, with six spacious en-suite rooms (four of which are dog-friendly), restaurant serving pub classics, and a beautiful spacious garden with stunning views over Sourton Tor. Just two miles south of the A30 and the border between Devon and Cornwall, we're an easy to reach pub and yet set amidst glorious remote walking countryside on Dartmoor.

The magnificent Sourton Tor, Corn Ridge and Great Links Tor are all accessible by foot with the Granite Way cycle path running directly behind our Dartmoor Inn. Our chefs specialise in local produce and lucky for us the West Country is blessed with wonderful supplies of meat, fish and vegetables, as well as a host of small artisan producers of cheese, ice cream and smoked products. Where and whenever possible we always try to source these direct from the best farmers, fisherman or growers. Our shopping criteria is simple as one of the best Country Pubs on Dartmoor; best quality and locally produced (if not local, then Devon).

"Lovely walk & mouth-watering 3 course lunch" alisonh

"This place was a delightful find, after a lovely walk on the spectacular moors which is in easy reach via a footpath by the pub, we enjoyed a mouth watering 3 course lunch. The cheeseburger was the best we’ve ever tasted, the service was great and even had dog treats waiting on the table for our 2 hairy companions. The pub is full of character with a lovely garden and big car park, it has everything."
