The Oratory is a quaint beautifully presented property ideal for easy access to the moors and all the excellent local walks. Princetown has two excellent pubs within easy walking distance of The Oratory serving good food. Highly recommend a stay here. I will be back

Perfect short stay venue.

Perfect place for a short break, located on the Moors but close to local shops and towns. Will likely stay again.

Loved the room. Really nicely decorated and great bathroom. Owner provided fresh bread, butter and jam (and a bottle of wine!) Very nice and friendly owners provided suggestions for dinner. Would have loved to stay longer.

We had an absolutely brilliant stay in the Chapel. It is much bigger than it looks with gorgeous high ceilings so it feels very spacious. With a two year old and a large dog, it never felt cramped or like we were on top of each other. And the bathroom is HUGE! We felt incredibly welcomed and will be back without a doubt. Thankyou so much x

This was a great place to stay and accommodating - they moved dishes and a hotplate in so I could do a little cooking and allowed me to drop off my luggage early. Very comfortable with a good selection of books about the area - including 2 different OS maps, which were very helpful. Within easy walking distance of all Princetown attractions and Dartmoor walks.

Pros and cons. Quirky place.

Lovely drive over Dartmoor but be aware that this isn’t in Yelverton as the ad says. It’s in Princetown. Not so accessible with buses at night so we had to drive. Property was quirky and host greeted us with the WiFi code and left classical music on for our arrival. Enjoyed our stay. Two negatives were the bathroom taps didn’t work properly. We were advised before we arrived but I have noticed that someone said the same last year and it hasn’t been addressed. The toilet doesn’t flush properly either and you have to jiggle the handle to get the flush to stop. I did report this back but didn’t receive a reply. The kitchenette is a kettle and a fridge and a cupboard top oven in the living area. All this would be adequate but there are no washing up facilities. We were advised that because of restrictions on the property a sink can’t be installed in the main room. I think a washing up bowl maybe could be given and an indication of where to empty the water. Lovely for a short stay with meals out. Wouldnt recommend for a family or a weeks stay though.

Nice self contained apartment in Princetown.

Generally very good. Bathroom taps didn’t work properly, but the owner did inform us. No shower gel/shampoo. No dog treats or bowls available. Bed very comfortable. Underfloor heating in bathroom brilliant.

Lovely a peaceful

Lovely quiet peaeful property, great that we could bring the dog too. Great access to the Moors. For some reason though I thought it was actually in Yelverton whihc was what we were wanting becasue my husband struggles with his breathing and hills, The Oratory was at the top of the village on a hill, we got round it by walking slowly :) The host was lovely and left us alone, my only other comment, it would be good to have a washing up bowl somewhere for those that wish to leave everything clean.

Lovely place

Location is excellent if your interested in walking on the Moors. Parking is on the street ,but found a space no problem. Chapel room was clean and roomy. Lovely quality of bedding. Had a small problem with the hot water ,on two nights.and we felt cereal should of been offered with the continental breakfast. The owner, Jeanette,was friendly but didn't interfere with our privacy which we appreciated.

Viihtyisä majoitus hyvällä palveluasenteella

Viihdyimme majoituksessa loistavasti. Jeanette oli erittäin avulias ja ystävällinen. Julkiset kulkuyhteydet ovat heikot, niistä häntä ei voi syyttää. Kylän pubit olivat eloisat. smupala ei ollut samantasoinen kuin muissa paikoissa, joissa olemme vierailleet matkan aikana.
