The Horn of Plenty

The Horn of Plenty is a country house hotel at Gulworthy, on the Devon side of the Tamar Valley a short drive from Tavistock. The building looks west across the valley towards Kit Hill and the edge of Bodmin Moor, with Cornwall visible from the terrace.

Its restaurant has held 3 AA Rosettes and has been one of the more consistent names in Devon dining for over 50 years, built around seasonal produce from the surrounding countryside. It serves lunch, afternoon tea and dinner daily, and bedrooms sit within the main house, several with a private balcony or terrace.

Five acres of gardens surround the hotel, giving guests somewhere to walk before or after dinner without leaving the grounds. Tavistock is close enough for a market-day visit, and the wider Tamar Valley offers walking routes on both the Devon and Cornwall banks of the river.

**Best for:** Couples marking an occasion who want a serious restaurant and valley views without driving into town for dinner.

**Less good for:** Guests without a car - the hotel sits in open countryside outside Tavistock rather than in the town itself.
