4-star hotels in Yelverton
A shortlist of 4-star places to stay in Yelverton, chosen from the 8 hotels and inns listed for the town. It is for anyone weighing up a Devon moorland break: couples, families, walkers and travellers who want a country inn or small hotel as a base.
Staying in Yelverton
Yelverton sits on the western edge of Dartmoor, and the 4-star places shortlisted here are spread around the town and its surrounding villages rather than stacked in one street. Addresses put them at Milton Combe, Buckland Monachorum, Postbridge, Yeoland Down, Dousland, Harrowbeer Lane and Old Station Road, so several are village inns or country houses a short drive from the centre, with free car parking listed at most of them. That suits travellers who want quiet nights, gardens and easy access to open moorland rather than a city-style hotel strip. For couples, the smaller country houses and inns give the most intimate setting, while families are better served where family rooms and a playground appear. Business travellers have fewer obvious fits, though one larger hotel lists meeting rooms, a 24 hour front desk and room service.
