Myself my partner and our dog recently stayed at the oratory and we loved it! It was a perfect little escape located in a great area. When we arrived the rooms were exceptionally clean. The bathroom was also amazing and a great addition with its luxury. I would definitely recommend a stay at the oratory due to its great hosts, perfect location and great relaxing feel.

The couple that run this place were very helpful and welcoming. I can't praise them enough with what they offered for our stay. The location was easy to find and the room itself was amazing. Very spacious and comfy with lots of nice touches to make the stay more enjoyable, like books, games and an information pack sent before arriving of places to eat out and additional services if required. The room was clean and tidy. It had so much more character than the generic chain run motel/hotels. We would definitely be recommending this place to anyone looking for an amazing, quality, professionally run, yet welcoming place to stop over to anyone and everyone.

We found the Oratory a perfect place to stay for a fabulous Dartmoor break. It is very comfy and clean and is in a great location for exploring the moors around Princetown, we didn't use the car once. The breakfast food is delicious and kept us going all day, we took some out on our walks and both pubs are great for food in the evenings. The owners are very friendly & helpful but at the same time you have your own space. We appreciated the lovely bath & the comfy bed after some long sunny walks. I've been coming to Dartmoor for over 30 years, stayed in lots of places, almost all have been excellent too, so the best recommendation I can give is to say we can't wait to return!

Clean ,spacious accommodation . Enter by your own front door.
Beautiful bathroom, cosy underfloor heating.
Very comfy bed, a very good night's sleep.
Nice little touches such as milk in the fridge, and music playing quietly when you arrive.
Would definitely stay again if visiting dartmoor.

We stayed 4 nights in the chapel annex and would certainly stay again. The room is very spacious with a lower sitting/kitchenette area (fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave, but no sink - they took the dishes to wash when requested) and a slightly raised mezzanine sleeping area with a comfy bed, sofa, wardrobe, chest of drawers and tv. The bookshelf with masses of info about Dartmoor and surrounding areas was very useful. The bathroom is huge with separate bath & shower. The chapel annex has its own entrance which means you're completely private and can come & go as you please. The hosts were really lovely even when we had to disturb them late on a Sunday. The weather was appalling for half of our stay but this was the perfect place to escape it in great comfort! And when it's good you can walk out onto the moor directly. The rate advertised on the site I booked through turned out to be for bed only, but Jeanette provided continental breakfast for an extra charge including home made bread and a huge jug of fresh orange juice. Would definitely recommend.

We have been using the Oratory for business travel in the area and it has served our purpose perfectly. The accommodation is self contained with own entrance and comprises of one large bedroom and a luxury bathroom accessed through a private entrance with a hallway to take off muddy shoes etc. The bathroom has a large bath and separate shower and underfloor heating. The owner leaves one hand towel and one bath towel each. The main room has a mezzanine area with a double bed with an electric blanket. There is also a sofa, wardrobe, chest of drawers. There is a hairdryer. The lower level down 3 steps has a daybed, proper sized dining table and chairs and an area to heat up food. There is a small unit with 2 hotplates and small oven, a microwave, fridge and toaster and ample pots and pans but there is no sink or water supply in this area so it's only really suitable to heat things up. The host, Jeanette is really helpful so we made ourselves food in the evening and in the morning she put all the plates etc in her dishwasher and left them for us clean on our return. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt very welcome and at home. It's in a great position with lots of privacy and is much larger than you would expect for this type of accommodation. The internet connection is good enough.Mobile signal is a bit patchy. We're both on O2. My phone got 1-2 bars of signal. My husbands phone got none. All in all, it's a great place to stay.

We were greeted by Jeanette (We couldn't find the key safe, so our fault) and she kindly showed us where it was. Jeanette let us into the chapel and it was absolutely lovely. The decor was perfect and everything was clean and tidy. We didn't have breakfast but Jeanette told us that the fox in the square was very good, and it was indeed very good. We enjoyed our stay and Jeanette was very accommodating.... the only problem we had were the pillows, too soft for us, but that's just our personal preference.

The Oratory provided us with a great base for our recent holiday in Devon. The accommodation was clean, well-equipped with very comfortable beds, and the hosts were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The ‘rain’ shower and roll-top bath added an extra bit of luxury. We will definitely return!
