Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cater for children?

Yes but only children over the age of 10. If a party is interested in booking all of our rooms, then we will accept younger children but we do not have cots / high chairs on the premises. Occasionally we do bend our "age 10" rule - please ring to discuss.

Do you accept dogs at Easton Court?

We do accept well behaved dogs in one of our rooms on the ground floor. We ask that the dogs are never left on their own in the rooms at any time and are not allowed on the furniture. We also ask that they are not permitted to foul the gardens - we provide shovels to clear up any mishaps!

What time can I arrive?

Arrival time is usually between 4pm and 10pm unless agreed with us in advance. Very late arrivals can be catered for by asking you to check yourselves in.

What time is checkout?

Checkout time is 10:30am unless other arrangements have been agreed in advance.

What time do you serve breakfast?

Cooked breakfasts are served between 8:30am and 9:30am. Guests needing to leave earlier can help themselves to a continental style breakfast.

Do you cater for vegetarians and special dietary needs?

Our breakfast menu offers several options for vegetarians, including poached haddock, souffle omelettes and a vegetarian 'full English'. We are happy to cater for guests with dietary restrictions but do ask for advance notice.

Is there somewhere to eat nearby?

We have several restaurants and pubs nearby that you can choose from. We attach a list of these when we confirm your reservation to assist you with your choice. We do recommend that you make reservations before you arrive to avoid disappointment, particularly in the high season between April and October.

What local facilities are there?

Chagford is a very attractive Stannary (tin exchange) Town, no larger than a village, and is just over 1 mile away. Chagford has a variety of local trades, crafts and provisions shops, two banks (one with ATM), doctors, dentists, two churches (RC and CofE), four pubs and two restaurants.

How can I access my e-mails and/or the Internet?

If you have your own laptop with wireless capabilities, you can access the Internet through the secure Easton Court network. We are happy to supply you with the passcode so that you can connect to the Internet free of charge. For those who do not have their own laptop with them, there is an internet access service in the 'Computer Solutions' business in Chagford, which is located just below the main square. They also have access points to plug in your laptop if preferred.

What can we do in the area?

Where do we start?!
Dartmoor itself covers an area of 365 square miles of unspoilt countryside. It is an ideal place for walking / hiking, with plenty of public footpaths and bridleways to follow. Horse riders are well catered for, and fly fishers have a choice of the 4 main rivers that flow through the National Park. Pretty villages abound, and many of Dartmoor's features can be enjoyed within a few steps from convenient parking areas.

Within an hour's drive, you can reach the Devon and Cornwall coastlines, visit a number of attractions (for example: The Eden Project, Rosemoor RHS Gardens, Paignton Zoo etc.) or call into some of the many National Trust properties in the area - Castle Drogo is only 3 miles by car, or a 45 minute walk away for the more energetic.

Can I get to Easton Court by public transport?

We have got to be honest - arriving by car will allow you to do much more when you are here. However, public transport can be taken from directly outside the house, but you need to be flexible with your timings as buses are infrequent!
We have 2 local taxi firms, and advanced bookings are advisable, especially if you dine in one of our local restaurants and don't want to drive back afterwards!
The nearest train stations are Exeter and Newton Abbot. A taxi can be taken from the stations to Easton Court and will cost approximately Ł30 one way.

What can I do in the area without my own transport?

We have two mountain bikes (his and hers) that are available to be used during daylight hours at your own risk. We do not charge for their use, but instead ask that you donate Ł5 per bike per day to our preferred charity: The Devon Air Ambulance Trust.

Do you have a cancellation policy?

Yes we do. It only becomes effective when we have previously turned away other business in favour of your booking and, if you then wish to cancel and we are unable to re-let the room, we charge a cancellation fee of Ł50 per room per night. We do recommend that people travel with insurance to cover them for such eventualities.

What happens if I break something?

We know nobody goes away on holiday intending to cause damage to other people's property and so we do accept minor breakages as being accidents. However, wilful or significant damage to the fabric of the building and its fittings will be charged for.

Is there a minimum length stay?

We do operate a 2-night minimum stay in high season, especially at weekends (3 nights at Bank Holiday times) unless a shorter stay fits between existing bookings. Please telephone to discuss your needs.
