Moretonhampstead

Annual Moretonhampstead Festival

We couldn’t talk about Dartmoor towns without mentioning our own. Moretonhampstead is a hidden treasure – the most secluded town on Dartmoor and the ‘best small town in Devon‘, according to a recent poll.

It might just be Devon’s most centrally located town, too, so it’s great for exploring the wilds and wonders of our county. Or you can simply explore the charming streets and soak up the thriving local art scene. Either option is equally rewarding.

Moretonhampstead has a vibrant community, and along with this, plenty of annual festivals and celebrations to enjoy. From Moreton Music Day, to Carnival Week, and not to forget the Flag Festival!

In the Summer, the local outdoor swimming pool opens which is heated completely by solar power. Perfect for cooling off after a hot day walking, cycling or even climbing.

Of course, one of the best benefits of staying in Moretonhampstead is the variety of walks right on our doorstep. Why not try The Wray Valley Trail, a moderate difficulty walk starting from Court Street Car Park, just a few hundred feet from our hotel.
