The room was OK. Compact. Quite a few issues with it none of which were rectified during our stay, despite reporting at the Welcome Desk. I have to say it was difficult to communicate with the team prior to arrival. The Staff at the White Hart were lovely. The Grounds are lovely.

Lovely gardens. Excellent menu at the White Hart and a great cafe at the Green Table. Very comfortable and clean room with en suite. The courtyard and buildings were historically very interesting. We were thee to attend a funeral and so our experience at Dartington Hall was a lovely surprise. Lovely staff at check-in and in the restaurants.
