Overall Ratings & Reviews The Oratory

We had an absolutely brilliant stay in the Chapel. It is much bigger than it looks with gorgeous high ceilings so it feels very spacious. With a two year old and a large dog, it never felt cramped or like we were on top of each other. And the bathroom is HUGE! We felt incredibly welcomed and will be back without a doubt. Thankyou so much x

Loved the room. Really nicely decorated and great bathroom. Owner provided fresh bread, butter and jam (and a bottle of wine!) Very nice and friendly owners provided suggestions for dinner. Would have loved to stay longer.

great place to stay for a couple , lovely interior, very comfortable!

Lovely place, easy to access a number of walking paths. Jeanette helped us with the laundry and was really helpful. Recommended

Perfect place for a short break, located on the Moors but close to local shops and towns. Will likely stay again.

This was a great place to stay and accommodating - they moved dishes and a hotplate in so I could do a little cooking and allowed me to drop off my luggage early. Very comfortable with a good selection of books about the area - including 2 different OS maps, which were very helpful. Within easy walking distance of all Princetown attractions and Dartmoor walks.

Lovely drive over Dartmoor but be aware that this isn’t in Yelverton as the ad says. It’s in Princetown. Not so accessible with buses at night so we had to drive. Property was quirky and host greeted us with the WiFi code and left classical music on for our arrival. Enjoyed our stay. Two negatives were the bathroom taps didn’t work properly. We were advised before we arrived but I have noticed that someone said the same last year and it hasn’t been addressed. The toilet doesn’t flush properly either and you have to jiggle the handle to get the flush to stop. I did report this back but didn’t receive a reply. The kitchenette is a kettle and a fridge and a cupboard top oven in the living area. All this would be adequate but there are no washing up facilities. We were advised that because of restrictions on the property a sink can’t be installed in the main room. I think a washing up bowl maybe could be given and an indication of where to empty the water. Lovely for a short stay with meals out. Wouldnt recommend for a family or a weeks stay though.

All the mod cons and self contained!

Generally very good. Bathroom taps didn’t work properly, but the owner did inform us. No shower gel/shampoo. No dog treats or bowls available. Bed very comfortable. Underfloor heating in bathroom brilliant.

Fantastic place to stay peaceful and everything you need..

Lovely quiet peaeful property, great that we could bring the dog too. Great access to the Moors. For some reason though I thought it was actually in Yelverton whihc was what we were wanting becasue my husband struggles with his breathing and hills, The Oratory was at the top of the village on a hill, we got round it by walking slowly :) The host was lovely and left us alone, my only other comment, it would be good to have a washing up bowl somewhere for those that wish to leave everything clean.

Location is excellent if your interested in walking on the Moors. Parking is on the street ,but found a space no problem. Chapel room was clean and roomy. Lovely quality of bedding. Had a small problem with the hot water ,on two nights.and we felt cereal should of been offered with the continental breakfast. The owner, Jeanette,was friendly but didn't interfere with our privacy which we appreciated.

Just a fabulous place to stay, will definitely be going their again.

Great, friendly host. Nice room, decorated well with high ceilings. Great location.

Clean and well appointed, perfect for a family, breakfast in the fridge and close to the moor and places to eat. Owners very friendly and helpful.

Great location to see the Dartmoor National Park. The accommodation was really bright and spacious. Lovely bathroom.

Perfect space to relax and unwind in after a day walking across Dartmoor. Hosts were easy to contact and provided clear instructions for accessing the room. Beautiful bathroom, with decadent bath.

Fantastic time spent at the Oratory. Hosts very welcoming. Local area great for walking.

Very cosy, charming accommodation, perfect for exploring the moors. We arrived quite late but Jeanette made sure that we had full instructions on how to let ourselves in. A bottle of wine and local handmade chocolates were waiting for us, and the room was equipped with maps and guide books for the local area, and board games which we really enjoyed. The bathroom was my personal favourite, the bath was exquisite and the underfloor heating was much appreciated after coming in from the freezing winds in the evening.

Stayed here for two nights to attend a friends wedding and double baptism. Owner contacted me by phone on day of arrival to say key was in a key safe near the front door, let yourself in, there is a bottle of local ale to welcome you. I was in the self contained 'Chapel' which was AMAZING! Very homely feel, clean, comfy and quite spacious. When I came to leave, met one of the owners who filled me in on why it was called 'The Chapel' and even helped me walk into town with my luggage. Would highly recommend this place to stay if looking for comfy peace and quiet on The Moor!
