Welcome to Ilsington, a hidden gem nestled within the heart of Dartmoor National Park, where the wild beauty of the moors meets warm Devon hospitality. Owned and run by the Hassell family since 1998, this fourth-generation of Devonshire hoteliers blends tradition with a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home.
Imagine starting your day with a hike through the rugged landscapes of Dartmoor, with its ancient tors and rolling hills, all just steps from the hotel’s front door. After your adventure, return to the comfort of Ilsington, where you can unwind in one of our cosy lounges, perhaps with a traditional Devon cream tea – served just the way it should be, with clotted cream and jam. Choose from three delectable varieties as you savour every bite.
Ilsington’s award-winning restaurant is a celebration of local flavours, with dishes crafted from the finest Dartmoor ingredients. Indulge in a lazy lunch overlooking the gardens, where every meal is a tribute to the region, from succulent Dartmoor-reared meats to fresh, locally sourced produce. And don’t miss the chance to enjoy a pint of Dartmoor Brewery’s finest ales, a perfect complement to your meal, offering a true taste of the moor.
After a day of exploration, soothe your body in our hydrotherapy pool or treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage or facial in the Tibetan Spa, where every treatment is designed to melt away the stresses of modern life. Whether you prefer walking through the hotel’s own ten acres of grounds, cycling across the moor, or simply relaxing on the terrace with a good book, Ilsington provides the perfect setting.
From our two AA rosettes for food to the numerous accolades for our spa, Ilsington is more than just a place to stay, it’s an invitation to experience the best of Dartmoor, where every moment is infused with the natural beauty of the landscape and the warmth of Devonshire hospitality. Come for the adventure, stay for the charm, and leave with memories that will draw you back again and again.
