Four of our rooms are dog-friendly, making us the perfect choice for guests exploring Dartmoor with their four-legged companions. Start your day with one of our delicious breakfast hampers, available daily for an additional fee. Packed with homemade treats, Devon yogurts, fresh fruits, local juices, breakfast pastries or even a hot bacon bap, it's the perfect indulgence. We also offer a Grab & Go breakfast with a takeaway coffee or tea and a croissant per person. At Bearslake Inn, we take pride in serving West Country-inspired dishes made with locally sourced produce. Our historic Bar offers a selection of real ales and fine wines, while our spacious pub garden features stunning views of Dartmoor across open farmland—a perfect spot to unwind.
