Two Bridges hotel Review

Lovely day in the sun.
Good service.

Lovely setting, great food & good service!! What's not to like!!

The best scones I've had in England so far. This is no small praise; I have sampled scones across the country. They're bigger and really great at our local farm shop, but these are better, something I didn't think I'd ever find after having so many disappointing iterations! They come with plenty of clotted cream, and the cream is also much better than back in East of England (obviously).

Very nice staff. Even for our 'difficult' eaters they were very kind to think with us, solving any allergy food problems with a smile as well. The food was wonderful and tasty! Lovely, nice atmosphere to top.

Great place to spend time with family and friends. Tasty afternoon tea with prossecco. some cakes looked and tasted like they are shop bought so this could be improved. Nice indoor and outdoor seating, river nearby and dogs allowed. Very nice place

Couldn't give better fating as there was a wedding on at the Hotel, and as accommodating as the staff try to be, we all know there are few people as obnoxious as wedding guests. As we had to sit outside, I can tell you the grounds are quite nice. You have a chance to pay the hotel to park there too. I assume this is a money making thing to do with Wistman's Wood, as the car park for that is quite small.

Excellent cream tea in graceful and welcoming atmosphere. Staff attentive and service good at this popular hotel/restaurant.

The best food and service you could wish for I love this place

Beautiful food. Fine dining at a price but worth it.

Great sandwich and white hot chocolate a must see on the moors

Wonderful lounge with open fires and excellent cream teas

Stopped for coffee. Welcoming and friendly staff. Very tranquil and friendly wildlfe.

If you were a hobbit, it's the sort of place you might run into Aragon. Nice brownies too.

Really nice hotel in a ideal location on the moors. Friendly staff and locally sourced drinks!

Loved the place. Great rooms. Some 4 poster beds. The food was very good.

A lovely old fashioned hotel, & bit too old fashioned. Could be improved & modernised. But charming, most Beautiful setting & opposite walk to Whitman's Wood ( ancient woodland of stunted Oaks)

We had a lovely cream tea here and even on a sunny February day, sitting outside was pleasant. Great for a stop after visiting Wistman's Wood.

Excellent service as always
Strange compared to other visits
Only due to coronavirus though

Very disappointing, overpriced and the food was sub par. For example the roll for the crayfish and prawn sub was stale plus it was more of a defrosted prawn roll with no hint of the mentioned sweet chilli sauce and two crayfish tails. More

Spent a couple of days here. Very comfortable and good food and an excellent centre to visit Dartmoor, Tavistock and the coast

Great hotel, great creamtea. Nice location. Nice personel

Beautiful spot on Dartmoor Devon. Nice afternoon tea.

Very cosy and accommodating traditional hotel. Lighter food served in the large bar / lounge / reception area, where you can also take your dogs and walking boots, through to full three course food in their restaurant. Very well located to local walks over the moor, and very popular (even in winter!).

We love the two bridges lounge, we hope to stay one day. A very interesting hotel

Lovely break away, great food and staff are lovely!

Nearly perfect, except for the mask rule, highly recommended

Great place to stop for tea and cake, really beautiful setting amongst the wild moors. Might come back and stay, one day.

Nice old hotel in the middle of the moor. Bar menu food wasn't great, considering the price.

Nice place for Devonshire cream tea. Hotel lobby looks really nice and cosy.

Lovely cosy place anyone welcome may it be for a coffee or a meal friendly staff happy to serve

The food here is mega tasty, looks quite small but is exactly the right amount to fill you up. Staff are all very polite and attentive. Fairly pricey but totally worth it.

Fantastic pub. Sublime location, great food and drink. Very friendly staff. Ideal start for a walk to Wiseman's Wood

Absolutely amazing food here, had the tasting menu and was blown away by the superb quality would highly recommend. Staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was lovely.

Excellent location for exploring the Moor ~ very dog friendly ~ wonderful events venue. Very professional staff that are very friendly and attentive ~ Highly recommended

Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable sofas.

Wonderful opportunity for a stop in Dartmoor for hiking, relaxing and good food

Crossing the moors you arrive at this centuries old coaching inn at the point where two rivers meet - crossed by two ancient bridges. You can have a lovely cream tea by the fireside and then take a gentle walk down to Wistman's Wood - with it's twisted landscape of rocks, lichens and stunted oaks. The hotel keeps a family of ducks which delight children.

Really lovely lunch with helpful staff and all covid regs followed. Great food!

The staff are fantastic, friendly and willing to cater to your every need. The food is amazing!!

Relaxing surroundings amazing food and warm welcome ,great place to use as a base for hiking etc

Beautiful setting, beautiful building, fantastic cream tea. However the staff weren't clearing tables or wiping them when they did, and looked a little put out that we had asked

Like being on holiday for a local. Wonderful experience. Delicious food and great service.

Excellent service and the best cream tea I've ever had. Never fails to please. Totally recommend a visit!

This hotel is set in some stunning surroundings, and the hotel itself is beautiful inside, very comftable. Perfect for a wedding you will get some beautiful photos.

Had the 3 course meal Sunday menu. The service was very good. The food was good. But the description on the menu was in places vague and so what turned up was not quite what was expected. It was still good, but felt if the menu was clearer then it would avoid disappointment.

Nice place, only stopped for drinks, good ale, not overly blessed with seating, if intending to eat, I'd book

Slow staff, beautiful building and setting, fantastic cream tea

Friendly, great food, superb location and dogs welcome.

Nice place. Nice cream tea but not the best to be honest. Its okay. Lovely hotel and bar.

lovely place food was excellent staff were very friendly, felt safe as they had measures in place against covid

Absolutely adore visiting the geese on my rambles around the moor

Always a pleasure to dine at Two Bridges. Amazing food, great service with lovely staff and a beautiful hotel in wonderful surroundings.

What a beautiful, historical place friendly staff, 5 star 3 course lunch..One of our favourite haunts.

A very lovely hotel. It was extremely comfortable, good food, all the staff were very helpful and my husband and I had a pleasant stay. I would certainly recommend this.

To eat something on the way is ok .. but not anymore ..

Perfectly located and is a good day out for walk away from the city and the rooms are equipped with all you need.. pleased with the whole experience..

Lovely, unspoilt country hotel with a fine restaurant.

Stopped for a brief coffee and cake while the fog lifted. Home made coffee cake yum. Next time we visit I'll book a room.

I suspect if you re a resident this might be charming but don t bother if you re popping in for a walkers lunch.

We waited nearly 10 minutes outside the back door of their function room whilst an utterly useless weekend waiter wandered aimlessly round the 3 tables inside.

Finally catching his attention with our third knock, we were told to help ourself to one of several trestle tables, all covered in crumbs. The room may work as a wedding room but despite period features, it s utterly devoid of any atmosphere whatsoever. Like sitting in a cold, old fashioned sports hall!

A lack of door closer to the chilly breeze and useless waiter meant that we had to shut the door 3 times before being served.

Food came quickly but was immediately evident that if the main restaurant and hotel gained its rosettes rightfully, either the management, chef or both has changed, or their priority for walkers and casual lunch goers is rock bottom.

I believe bar food in a hotel should represent the main restaurant on a more casual basis. Here all food was consistently awful:

- microwaved sausage roll with flacid, greasy pastry
- fat santa roll full of curiously round-shaped slices of turkey meat, potato, stuffing and sharp tasting cranberry in a rock solid bun, oddly with a chilli seasoning on top
- ditto with the fish finger sandwich: same rock solid bun and sloppy lashings of vinagrey tartar. In fairness, the battered fish was reasonable.
- triple-cooked chips either doughy or solid but all completely underdone. How you can undercook a triple-cooker chip is completely beyond me. Simply a lie.
- rock solid scone with no raisins. Suspect this was either left out all day or undercooked from frozen.

Passable coffee but hot chocolates clearly from a packet.

Pint of Jail Ale was reasonably well kept.

Not sure why they bother to dress staff in waistcoats when several have their shirts untucked. One lovely girl, but otherwise gormless and going through the motions.

Took the kids to the loo (which were pleasantly clean) and walked through a cosy bar full of enticing chesterfields, an unlit fireplace and absolutely no one sitting there since only hotel guests allowed. What a total waste. Hope this is simply a Covid measure?

We discussed our thoughts with two tables around us who had exactly the same reaction.

With the sheer volume of traffic through Two Bridges and walkers to Wistman s woods, this hotel should be teeming with people but suspect there are many like us who would never consider a revisit.

Hope managment will take note and make urgent changes.

Great pub/hotel, went for a cream tea, seriously good and a lot of it. Great location on Dartmoor very scenic, worth a visit.

Excellent cream tea. Wonderful location and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Great place. Lovely with the fire going but it isn't cheap!

We always enjoy Two Bridges Hotel a cosy oasis in the middle of a foggy moor. Things were a bit off this visit as they were very busy so orders got muddled and missed. But we will be back!!!
