Hotel Information

Moorlands is a fine Country House situated high on the moor below Haytor Rocks, one of Dartmoor’s bestknown landmarks. It was in this magnificent setting that Agatha Christie wrote her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1917. The 32 en-suite bedrooms look out over rolling Devon countryside and the eight acres of grounds.
The spacious lounge and dining room provide a very comfortable base for our walking holidays.
Chy Morvah, meaning ‘house by the sea’ in Cornish, is certainly an appropriate name for this characteristic seaside hotel. From the panoramic lounge and the dining room, the view stretches across the golden sands of St Ives Bay to the lighthouse at Godrevy Point.
