Services
Overcombe House has eight en-suite bedrooms where you can relax, unwind and enjoy a good night's sleep. Our Classic rooms are our most spacious and popular due to their size, they can be made up as a six-foot-wide double or twin depending on your requirements and they also enjoy stunning views. Well-appointed rooms but smaller in size than the Classics and looking out over the front of the property. Our tariff varies depending on when you want to stay, the type of room, the number of adults sharing the room & the duration of your stay with us.
We have won awards for our breakfasts! We use local produce wherever we can and John makes our own Seville orange marmalade and plum and rhubarb and ginger jams. Our light and airy sun-filled dining room has wonderful views over Dartmoor and our wildlife garden, ensuring you a relaxing start to your day.
Squeezed Orange or pressed Apple & Mango Juice, cereals, citrus medley, preserved fruit, fresh fruit and yoghurt. We offer a choice of white or brown toast, with a choice of branded sauces and home-made preserves to accompany your meal. Oak smoked Cornish dry cured back bacon, Dartmoor sausages, grilled tomato, sauteed mushrooms and free-range egg (poached, scrambled or fried).

Excellent guest house run by John and David who are welcoming, friendly and attentive. The establishment was very clean and Covid precautions sensible and reassuring. All in-room supplies were very high quality and the bed beautifully comfortable. Breakfasts were a highlight with freshly cooked, locally sourced produce. I would highly recommend staying at Overcombe House for a holiday visiting Dartmoor and surrounding areas.

We came here for a couples getaway and it was brilliant! The room was spotless, the breakfast was lovely and John and David were ever so welcoming and accommodating. The bed was comfortable and the room was perfect for just the two of us. A very enjoyable experience and will definitely be returning again!

If I could give them six I would! Im a long term customer at Overcombe House - I could not be happier. It's definitely what it says on the tin and more. The owners are so welcoming, understanding, with customer service second to none. My ethos with catering is local produce cooked fresh. John certsinly does this no injustice the breakfast was my best yet ever and trusttme ive have paid top prices in london and no where near the quality compared to his.
Being a business owner myself it's lovely to have that connection with them both and they are very helpful and can offer you great advice. As what they created and how they maintain it is inspiring, you can't help but take note. John & Dave get a big thumbs up from me
