Bearslake Inn in Okehampton, England

The Bearslake Inn serves West Country-inspired dishes made with locally sourced produce, including pinwheel sausages and fish and chips. Guests can order a breakfast hamper delivered to their room with homemade treats, Devon yogurts, and fresh pastries. The historic bar offers locally brewed real ales such as Dartmoor Legend, alongside fine wines and homemade desserts like poached rhubarb with blondie and custard.

The inn has six spacious en-suite rooms, including the Cider Press, Hayloft, and Garden Room with views of the surrounding farmland. Four of these rooms are dog-friendly and come with a dog basket containing a blanket, bowls, and treats. The Quadruple Room offers a double and single bed, while the Standard King Room provides large beds and direct garden access.

Set on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, the inn is a short walk from Sourton Tor, Corn Ridge, and Great Links Tor. The Granite Way cycle path runs directly behind the pub, and guests can access hiking, cycling, and fishing directly from the property. The scenic pub garden with a stream and the secret garden provide outdoor seating with views of Dartmoor across open farmland.

The Bearslake Inn welcomes dogs in four of its six rooms and in the bar area during meals. Each dog receives a gift basket with a blanket, eating and drinking bowls, and treats. Staff provide additional touches, such as dog biscuits and a dedicated dog-friendly dining section in the restaurant.

The inn offers family rooms like the Quadruple Room, which sleeps up to four guests, and the Garden Room with ground-floor access. On-site activities for families include movie nights, pub crawls, and access to the garden and stream.
