Stay at Tor Royal

Completely refurbished, Tor Royal is a luxury Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast offering double and twin en-suite rooms, with a choice of bath or shower, furnished with period furniture. We also have a ground floor room decorated in Art Deco style.  All rooms have tea and coffee making facilities and wi-fi.

Breakfast is served in the old south facing Estate office with local Dartmoor produce where possible, with fruit and veg traditionally grown in the Tamar Valley and when available sausages from the local breed of British Lop pigs.

After Breakfast there is Dartmoor on your doorstep. We can provide a packed lunch if you are keen walkers or point you in the direction of a good local inn.  Book a trek on one of our hardy horses or ponies and enjoy a trek out over Dartmoor or visit nearby historic towns and cities – Plymouth, the home of Plymouth Gin and from where the Pilgrim Fathers sailed – and Tavistock, ancient stannary town and home of Sir Francis Drake, the nearby Buckland Abbey once his grand residence.

Morwellham Quay (Edwardian Farm fame) is well worth a visit. I could go on and on… in fact I will – Sherlock Holmes famously tracked down the Hound of the Baskervilles in the Mire behind Tor Royal, War Horse was filmed at Sheepstor just over the hill, some of Rosalind Pilcher’s novels have been put to film locally, The ‘Edwardian County Lady’s Diary’ author regularly visited the area, The ‘Last white Rajahs’ the Brookes were based at Sheepstor, visit the lovely St. Leonards Church where the family is buried…
