Public Transport

We are accessible by public transport from Monday to Saturday but you need to plan very carefully to make the connections! Unfortunately the nearest bus services on a Sunday are the 38 and 39 from Bovey Tracey.

The nearest railway stations are Exeter St Davids, Newton Abbot and Okehampton.

The main buses serving us are:

Newton Abbot to Okehampton – 178 this is a “hail and ride” service so you can request the bus driver to stop at the B&B or campsite even though there isn’t a bus stop. It does go on a tour of Bovey Tracey, Lustleigh, Chagford and South Zeal on the way.
Newton Abbot to Tavistock via Moretonhampstead and Two Bridges – 171 slightly more direct than the 178.
Exeter to Moretonhampstead – 359 via Dunsford
Exeter to Moretonhampstead – 173 via Tetburn St Mary and Chagford
Exeter to Ivybridge via Bovey Tracey – 38 runs every day
Newton Abbot to Bovey Tracey – 39 runs every day

Other useful buses if you are going out on the moor

Tavistock to Newton Abbott via Two Bridges – 172 – Monday to Saturday
Newton Abbott to Bovey Tracey via Haytor – 193 – Wednesday and Friday Only
Bovey Tracey to Widecombe – Haytor Hoppa – Summer Saturdays Only

Give us a call in advance of your arrival to arrange a pick-up of your luggage from Moretonhampstead.

Remember – all single bus journeys are capped at £2 until the end of December 2024.

Please do not try to walk along the A382 to get to us if you get off in Moretonhampstead. It is much safer to walk down the Wray Valley Trail following the directions we will send you by email shortly before your arrival. Just ask in Moretonhampstead for the start of the “bike trail”.

Under your own steam

Being on the Wray Valley Trail makes it easy to get to us on foot or bicycle. We use our bikes for short trips – when we don’t have lots to carry!

The trail connects us off-road to Moretonhampstead and Lustleigh and out on to Dartmoor. It is part of the Dartmoor Way cycling route and we are only 2 miles from the main route from Lands End to John O’Groats.

If you find the bridge a little tricky to negotiate with a fully loaded bicycle, there is a chain wrapped around a tree beside it that you can lock your bikes to. Or come and get us and we will give you a hand to get your bikes across.
