Savills on behalf of Hieronymus Gruff Limited, has sold Moorland Hotel near Haytor Rocks, Dartmoor, to a private individual from a guide price of £1.5m.

Moorland Hotel boasts 34 en-suite bedrooms and also features the Tinpickle & Rhum Cafe Brasserie, as well as a bar, restaurant and function room. A two bedroom owner’s flat is also located on the site. Situated close to the Haytor Rocks the hotel benefits from a prime location within Dartmoor National Park.
