DEVON'S FINEST
COAST & COUNTRYSIDE
_
Dartmoor covers some 365 square miles and is a walker's paradise not to mention the cycling, horse-riding, kayaking and climbing it offers. Its wild landscape has been defined over millennia by forests, fast flowing rivers, vast stretches of open moorland and volcanic rock formations called tors. The hotels sits perched high on its eastern flank in one of the most spectacular parts - in the shadow of the iconic 1,500 feet high Haytor - perfect for working up an appetite on. The bright yellow gorse and abundant purple heather put on a mesmerising show through late summer and into autumn. Conan Doyle's 'hound' used to roam these parts and Steven Spielberg chose the area to shoot parts of his film 'War Horse'.
With the hotel just 3 miles from the main A38, the glorious coastal towns and harboursides along the South Devon coast sit only slightly further away - Dawlish is about 16 miles as the raven flies. Nearby towns like Tavistock, Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead are all worth a visit. The Ilsington's location allows you to enjoy the best of coast and country, open moor and frozen in time villages - all the ingredients for an idyllic Dartmoor holiday.
