The 4-star Lydford Country House is set amongst 8 acres of grounds within Dartmoor National Park. Lydford Gorge is a 15-minute walk away.

Lydford is set in a grand Victorian house, and the magnificent gardens feature quiet terraces and pretty ponds.

Stunningly arranged and decorated, every corner felt loved. The bedding made locally from local wool was delightful, so comfortable and gave the room a soft aroma. Judy, the owner, as well as her husband Jonathan, were the perfect hosts. Attentive and helpful, while still giving the space for privacy. So many details attended to and shared. The breakfast is fresh and made to order with local farm eggs. And the honey is actually from their own property! While still being able to enjoy the country side, Lydford house is within walking distance of a the perfect English pub, The Castle Inn, as well as another restaurant and many different walkabouts and hikes. I loved this place immensely, and look forward to my return. Simply can’t recommend this place enough!

Set in a charming Devon longhouse dating back to the 13th century, this inn is located between Dartmoor’s Okehampton and Tavistock in the hamlet of Lake. Bearslake Inn offers 6 en-suite rooms and parking. The A30 is around 2 miles from the property.

This is what I imagined when I booked. Old building, low ceilings, narrow passages. It has its own charm and atmosphere

    Angelina was a great host and made us feel very at home, the furniture was really in keeping of a Devon longhouse that was built in the 1700's. The breakfast was all local produce and was very tasty and she had also taken into account that I am gluten free so thank you very much. We would definitely stay again but would come prepared with some warmer jumpers.

    Great location and outstanding hosts! Very close to a number of walking routes which was the main reason we visited Dartmoor. Kim and Geoff were great hosts and were always on hand to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend staying here if you are planning on visiting the area.
