The surrounding area is a paradise for walkers, with numerous trails weaving through the breathtaking landscapes of Dartmoor, allowing guests to explore the region's rich wildlife, including otters, badgers, and deer. Adventure seekers can partake in unique experiences such as Dartmoor Llama Walks or visit River Dart Country Park for outdoor activities like biking, canoeing, and zip-lining. Additionally, a trip to Princetown offers insights into local history at the Dartmoor Prison Museum and the National Park Visitor Centre.
