The Arundell

Stayed here overnight with friends, taking advantage of their Winter offer - bed, breakfast and a three course dinner with a glass of fizz. Absolutely loved it - cozy, well equipped room, a genuinely fab dinner and a delightful breakfast. Couldn’t fault it. Add in roaring fires, lovely staff and a cracking location on Dartmoor and you have a perfect weekend! Thank you to all - we had a fab time!!

As all reviews, this is purely based subjectivity on our visit, and is likely not to reflect experiences of other diners. We live locally, and went for an impromptu Dinner last night. Got shown to our table for two in the Dining room (booking 6pm and we were only people there). I asked the waiter if we could please move to a more discreet table (as we were in what may have been a busy area). He replied that they were fully booked and the allocated table was the only viable option). The menu was printed on a tri-fold glossy format, and not as previously on a more traditional and bespoke A4 classic page. The Pork Chop I had was well cooked, and perhaps over trimmed (based on previous visits) and the accompanying “Slaw” a little dry for my taste. My Partners Burger was well constructed and seasoned well. Our waiter when adding extra cutlery lent access my partner when placing her soup spoon. Overall things were very different to previous experiences at the Arundell Incidentally, by the time we’d finished and settled our bill, there was only one other couple that had been seated for Dinner (our earlier request could (I believe) have been met.

Another exemplary meal at The Arundell. Set New Year’s Eve menu, scollops and T-bone steak cooked to perfection! Compliments to the chef!!! This restaurant never fails to produce the best evening of food and drinks. Staff very helpful and attentive. Thank you 😋

Another flying visit to the haven that is The Arundell. The bed was really comfortable, bar and food sumptuous. My brother and I had the oysters for starters on both nights and they were delicious. Luke recommended 2 or maybe it was 3 bottles of fabulous wine; they will cork a bottle and care for any left over each evening. Breakfast is lovely; I adore the smoked haddock and the full English. David and David sold us excellent things (we all need more fishing things) from the well stocked Orvis centric tackle shop and waved us off to chase the trout and peal. Jess sorted everything on arrival then Tracy did the same with our departure. Super to see Amy, the whole team were as wonderful as always. Thank you as always and look forward to returning soon.

Unexpectedly we had to look for a bed for the night and were very pleased we had to as we ended up staying at the Arundle. Everyone was charming and helpful. We had a great impromptu stay, a very comfortable room, even the dog was royally looked after. Great food and wine. Five stars all around.

We just called in for lunch. Sadly, there was only a Lite Bites menu as the off-season midweek menu which was a bit disappointing. I can't remember what we chose but it was fine. As before, the staff at The Arundell are just lovely and when we asked to see the historic cockpit (now a room for special events) we were shown around this historic survivor, as well as the lovely dining room. We hope to return and hope that perhaps the mid-week menu can be made a little more substantial. It would be busier as a result, I'm sure. Of course, the management has their reasons. Anyway, we will be back. It's a very nice country hotel and I would gladly stay there in the future.
