To ensure that all of our accommodation businesses on dartmoor.co.uk are providing a good standard of service, we stipulate that all businesses must be inspected annually. As the official tourism and trade partnership for Dartmoor, we recognise the national quality inspection schemes with Visit Britain and the AA. In addition to this, we also offer our own Dartmoor Inspection Scheme, which ensures that your business is legal, safe and clean.

Inspection Documents Please take a look at our Dartmoor Partnership Inspection Information Pack; it contains everything you need to know about becoming inspected, including what to do next, Legal Obligations, guidance, helpful tips, and of course the benefits and costs.

Useful Information We appreciate that you may need assistance with ensuring that you have the right paperwork and certificates. You may feel that you need to take a course in order to comply with regulations. With that in mind, we have provided you with some information on everything from health & safety to food & hygiene. Please click here to view.

Access Statement It is advisable to have a written Access Statement to enable a potential visitor to make an informed decision. To help you with producing your own access statement, we have provided an access form. You can either fill this in online, or print off and fill in by hand. Once filled in, you have a very basic but comprehensive access statement for your business and for use on your website. Please click on the links below to download your access form:
