Two Bridges Hotel

Cosy, welcoming and quintessentially English - there might even be a cat purring contentedly in its favourite fireside chair - the Two Bridges Hotel offers the perfect Dartmoor escape, set beside the river and its duo of bridges that give the village its name. Full of old-fashioned charm and character, the restaurant comes appropriately decked out with oak panels, hunting pictures and linen tablecloths, with great views to boot. The seasonally-changing, well-balanced menu offers skilfully cooked and neatly presented British dishes driven by quality local produce, with an emphasis on game in season. Thus breast of Creedy Carver duck comes with a root vegetable rösti, nutmeg spinach and creamed leeks, while to finish, seek comfort in strawberry trifle with dark chocolate sorbet and praline.
