About The Oxenham Arms Hotel & Restaurant
For travellers after a peaceful adults-only break rather than a family stop-off, The Oxenham Arms Hotel & Restaurant in South Zeal, Okehampton, makes a fitting base. It's the kind of place suited to couples or friends wanting to walk or cycle Dartmoor by day and settle into a proper bar and restaurant by evening, with no need to drive far for either.
Rooms are en-suite and come with drinks provided, and the hotel covers the practical side well: free WiFi, breakfast, packed lunches for the day ahead, laundry service, luggage storage and 24-hour reception. There's a garden and picnic area for slower mornings, outdoor seating, and meeting rooms if the visit is business as well as pleasure. The building doubles as a wedding venue too, so it's used to hosting groups as well as individual guests.
Free on-site parking makes it easy to come and go, and the surrounding area gives plenty of reason to: golf, horse riding, cycling routes and walking country are all close by, along with other pubs and restaurants for those who want to explore beyond the hotel's own kitchen. It's a straightforward, well-equipped stop for anyone wanting Dartmoor on their doorstep.
