About

Bearslake Inn is a celebrated 13th‑century thatched gastro pub and guesthouse nestled in the heart of Dartmoor, near Sourton and Okehampton. The venue marries historic charm with modern comforts: guests can enjoy locally sourced Devon cuisine in the cosy pub, dine al‑fresco beside a babbling stream with views of Sourton Tor, or unwind in one of the six private rooms—three of which are dog‑friendly and furnished with en‑suite bathrooms. The inn’s heritage architecture, complete with a historic bar and fire pits, creates an authentic atmosphere that transports diners back to the moor’s pastoral past while still offering the conveniences of contemporary hospitality. Whether you’re stopping for a hearty lunch, sampling a winter warmer priced from £28, or enjoying an indulgent afternoon tea on the garden steps, Bearslake Inn delivers a memorable experience that showcases the best of Devon’s culinary traditions. With a focus on regional produce, the kitchen features seasonal menus ranging from a simple fish dish to a sumptuous Saturday night roast, ensuring every bite reflects the bounty of the surrounding countryside. The inn’s commitment to hospitality extends to all guests, including those traveling with pets, as evidenced by the dedicated dog‑friendly rooms and welcoming public spaces. A stay here offers a rare combination of historic authenticity, outstanding food, scenic beauty, and attentive service—a true pillar of Dartmoor’s culinary culture.
