Activities
Children love running around the large grounds and exploring Dartmoor National Park and its wildlife. There are tennis courts and rackets available to borrow, plus croquet and a small putting green. Toy boxes brimming with toys for all ages can be found in the first-floor Pantry.

Meals
Only children aged eight or older can dine in the restaurant in the evening. High Tea is served, from 5pm-6.30pm, for younger children. Staff are happy to heat up milk and baby food, and prepare child-friendly packed lunches.

With 24-hours notice, babysitting can be organised at a cost of £7.50 an hour.

Baby listening
Baby monitors work in all rooms (apart from the Pavilion). You can borrow one and leave it at reception for staff to check while you dine.
