Dartmoor Halfway Inn

View prices & book Last booked 3 days ago 8.5 198 reviews

View of the site from hill, plenty of open green space on site

River lemon, which passes just behind the site

Riverside site in the grounds of a pub-restaurant
A couple of minutes’ drive from the edge of Dartmoor National Park
A 10-minute drive from Newton Abbot and 30 from Torquay

Want to feel like you’re getting a secluded and peaceful getaway without having to give up being close to other people? At Dartmoor Halfway Inn, a family-friendly site in the grounds of a pub-restaurant 10 minutes’ drive from the town of Newton Abbot in Devon, South West England, you get the best of both worlds. Two minutes from the edge of Dartmoor National Park, The Halfway Inn is well placed for exploration – you can walk, cycle, ride, canoe or climb your way around the park, travel from scenic village to scenic village, or learn about the history of the area. The site and pub are dog friendly too, so ramblers should feel free to bring their canine companions along for the walk. On site, kick back by the river Lemon, which passes just behind the campgrounds, or relax in the open green field – kids who aren’t quite ready to sit still for the evening can burn off any residual energy in the on-site playground. When the whole family is ready for dinner, stroll over to the Halfway Inn for a slap-up meal, then knock back a few beers or a couple of glasses of wine – or juice for the kids – and toddle back to where you’re spending the night less than 200 metres away. If you’d prefer a change of scenery, there are plenty of other restaurants in Newton Abbot and within 10 minutes’ drive of Halfway Inn.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (premium)

Liked: It’s a lovely spot and we love the hedges giving privacy between each unit. The pub was great too, a slightly limited menu, but that meant everything was very well executed.

Disliked: The toilet and shower block smelt horrible the whole weekend, the stink extends down the whole park if the wind is the wrong direction, please fix this, other guests commented to us how awful this was, especially the glampers. There is only one toilet for each gender and that really isn’t enough when you’re that busy.
The fully serviced pitches need putting right, ourselves and our caravan neighbours were unable to use the grey water drainage as the grate is higher by about 30cm than ground level. Showers etc just won’t drain at that height!!

A bit pricey for what is on offer. Friendly staff and ok for 1 nite

Lucy A. Apr 2025

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Everything was fantastic. Site was clean and spacious, plenty of hot water for showers.
The pub itself is just exceptional, staff couldn't do enough for us. Super dog friendly as well. Food was outstanding. Can't rate high enough.
People had said there was lots of road noise, but in fairness after around 9pm the road quietened down and was barely heard.
Would highly recommend a stay or even just a pub visit. As we will certainly be returning soon. There is very little phone signal on the site, however free WiFi at the pub, but this did not affect us at all in fact it was nice not to have phones beeping all the time!!

Local attractions

You can barely turn a corner in this part of Devon without coming face to face with a stately manor – Bradley, Compton Castle, Greenway, Castle Drogo, Coleton Fishacre, Cockington Court, Torre Abbey and Dartington Hall are all with 45 minutes’ drive, and a visit to the spectacular 16-sided A la Ronde, 35 minutes away, is highly recommended. Tipplers might like to make the trip to Buckfast Abbey outside Buckfastleigh (10 minutes), though you won’t be able to do tours or tastings at the factory. If the Abbey doesn’t get you steaming, head to the South Devon Railway and climb aboard the vintage train, or abandon alcohol-related puns altogether and head to the Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary. Fawlty Towers fans will be keen to learn that Torquay is less than 30 minutes away. Although you can no longer visit the real-life hotel behind the comedy, there’s plenty to keep you entertained: follow the Agatha Christie Mile to get a glimpse of some of the spots that inspired the murder mystery maven, dive below the Devon coast in the prehistoric Kents Cavern, or play giant at Babbacombe Model Village.
