Win a stay at Bearslake Inn

The prize: A three‑course meal for two, an overnight stay and a breakfast hamper at Bearslake Inn.
Closing date: May 31, 2025
Bearslake Inn

Ancient 13th‑century Bearslake Inn, with its thatched roof and granite stone walls, fits seamlessly into the surrounding landscape of dramatic moorland

Inside, discover cob walls, low beams and a series of narrow passages that weave visitors through a miscellany of rooms (the pub was once three cottages), which provide numerous cosy nooks in which to dine.

Guests are made to feel fully at home in this characterful setting thanks to impeccable Dartmoor hospitality from owner Lisa Jenkins and team. The other side of the kitchen door, chef Chris Heaver (formerly of The Arundell Arms in Lifton) leads a culinary crew delivering precise yet hearty dishes.

The culinary ethos centres on seasonal ingredients crafted into dining pub classics with a menu that changes weekly to reflect the freshest produce and flavours of the season. Read our restaurant review.

When the weather’s good, guests pour outdoors for alfresco dining next to a babbling brook that winds through the substantial two‑acre garden. It’s also a lovely spot for a sundowner or a summer’s evening digestif before you roll to your room.

Six ensuite rooms (four are dog‑friendly) in the inn provide the perfect base for a slice of Dartmoor downtime. Once you wake, await the knock in the morning signalling the arrival of a luxury Dartmoor breakfast hamper stuffed with warm muffins, local yogurt and homemade muesli.
