The Top 11 Hotels Near Salutation Inn

-
A converted Edwardian hospital where no two of the fifty-nine rooms share a floor plan, which would have made the original administration deeply uncomfortable. This Hotel du Vin keeps the red-brick bones and period details while adding parquet floors, rain showers, and espresso makers. There's a REN spa with a pool, plus a bar and library that make it hard to leave the building at all. The restaurant leans into modern British cooking.

-
Tudor on the outside, Arts and Crafts within, sitting deep in Dartmoor National Park with no apology for the detour required to reach it. Gidleigh Park is a country house hotel where the twenty-four rooms were rebuilt so thoroughly that the original house and the new addition are basically indistinguishable, which is the point. Marble bathrooms, working everything, croquet on the lawn, and genuinely wild moorland just beyond the hedge. It holds two Michelin Keys.
-
An Art Deco revival manor sitting inside Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Castle is the kind of country estate hotel that actually wants you to use it. Bedrooms have proper Deco bathrooms and views over the grounds, while fourteen granite lodges add a private-cottage alternative. A golf course, full spa, and indoor pool handle the sporting-estate half; innumerable drawing rooms and a Palm Court dining room handle the lounging.
-
A working regenerative farm with 500 acres of fields, woodland, and animals that wander past your window, and also, somehow, a ten-suite boutique hotel. The Victorian farmhouse and barns have been restored into something quietly luxurious without any of the country-house chintz you'd expect. Suites come with kitchens, meals at The Refectory are folded into the all-inclusive rate, and Dartmoor is practically next door when you need an excuse to leave.
-
A converted coaching inn that's been around since Tudor times, the Bull is a boutique hotel in what has become, against all reasonable odds, Bridport's surprisingly cool town center. Rooms mix period bones with contemporary furnishings, some with roll-top tubs, and the restaurant pulls a crowd that isn't just hotel guests. Picked up by the Michelin Guide for selected hotels.
-
Upgrading to a suite in an Elizabethan turret is a genuine option here, which tells you most of what you need to know about this hotel on the edge of Dartmoor. The Great Hall still has its decorative moldings and centuries-old tapestries, though now people drink cocktails under them. Fine dining, a brasserie, afternoon tea, and a spa with a Finnish sauna and hydrotherapy pool round out the picture for a weekend away that skews firmly toward indulgent.
-
Thomas Hardy didn't just fictionalize the village of Evershot; he also put his architectural stamp on this Georgian country house hotel, adding the decorative fireplaces and wood paneling that give the rooms their particular weight. Stone cottages with private gardens sit alongside the main house, and the full escapist package runs to croquet, a cocktail lounge, and afternoon tea. Heavy drapery, fresh flowers, and period furniture throughout.

A village pub, a chip shop, a post office, and a working farm walk into a boutique hotel. That's more or less what Michael and Xochi Birch have assembled in a sleepy North Devon village, spreading their accommodations across shop rooms styled in 1940s retro and freestanding cottages that sleep up to eight. The Farmers Arms anchors it all with a seriously sourced modern pub menu. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
