A HISTORIC Dartmoor hotel has gained a prestigious award in recognition of the quality of the beers it offers to guests and visitors.

The Two Bridges Hotel was given the Cask Marque award, which aims to ensure that cask ales served in hotels, bars and pubs across the UK, are in perfect condition.

Forty-five qualified Cask Marque assessors travel the length and breadth of the British Isles to check the temperature, appearance, flavour and aroma of the beers on offer.

General manager at the Two Bridges Hotel Jared Lothian said: ‘We are delighted to have achieved Cask Marque recognition for the quality of the beers we serve at the Two Bridges Hotel. And with top-notch ales from our own Dartmoor Brewery on tap, the Two Bridges Hotel is a very civilised spot for a perfect pint.’
