I hesitated to give the Average rating here because we did enjoy our stay at the hotel. However, for the price charged I felt that there were a few things that could be improved. First of all the hotel is in a superb location. It is on the edge of Dartmoor and a short walk from a stunning little village... More

From the first steps into this charming country house hotel we were welcomed and felt like house guests. Staff are friendly as are the dogs! Our room was comfortable and well appointed and,despite the heavy rain during our stay, we felt as if we had enjoyed a very restful break with excellent food from afternoon tea, dinner and breakfast. We... More

After reading the previous review, I'm not sure we stayed at the same hotel! My 46 year old brother, my 72 year old Mother and I (43) have just stayed here as a birthday treat for my Mother, for 4 nights and really enjoyed the whole experience. Although with no lift it was a challenge up the stairs for my... More

We booked a family "suite" which consisted of a normal room and a VERY small room attached to it. There were not enough cups, not enough water, not enough glasses, toiletries were only for one (we had paid £150 per night!!!) towels were not changed for our children. Horse riding is NOT available at the property and we had an... More

This place was listed as 5 star on lastminute - it's not! More like a glorified bed and breakfast than a 5 star 'Country House Hotel' At best it's a 3 star. We arrived at 8.45 pm to be told the inevitable 'chef's on his way home' welcome that you so often get in the countryside.The bed was well passed... More

The accommodation was very comfortable and in a peaceful location which is something we relish. All the staff were extremely friendly and courteous. The owner was also... More

My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant dinner at Lydford. It was a Sunday night and we were the only diners. The food was beautifully presented and tasty, and very reasonably priced, including the wine. Would recommend.

This is a lovely house set on the edge of Dartmoor, just a few minutes from the National Trust Lydford Gorge which is a beautiful walk; house is also right next door to the Granite way, a walk and cycle path that goes right out into the countryside. Our standard room was a bit small but had lots of storage... More

Good Points - Friendly and helpful staff. Superb location. Tastefully decorated rooms. Good food especially the excellent evening meals Bad points - Very very soft mattress, woke up with back ache every morning. The shower was very poor, just a dribble of warm water.
