England's Highest and Most Remote Pub

The Warren House Inn stands alone on the open Dartmoor at 434 metres above sea level, making it one of the highest pubs in southern England. The fire in the hearth is said to have been burning continuously since 1845. On a wild Dartmoor day, arriving at this remote pub feels like reaching an oasis.

Dogs are welcome and essential companions for anyone walking the surrounding moorland. The pub serves hearty food designed to refuel walkers and riders: stews, pies, jacket potatoes and their famous homemade pasties. Local ales are well-kept and the atmosphere is unlike any other pub in England.

The views from the pub stretch across miles of open moorland. In winter, snow can isolate the pub for days. In summer, it is a popular stop for walkers, riders and cyclists exploring the heart of Dartmoor. The simplicity and remoteness are its greatest assets.
