Friendly hosts, lovely big room with private enclosed patio area with attractive planting and garden furniture. The patio was perfect for our dogs. The room had a fridge. We had an evening meal (which has to be ordered in advance as the pub/restaurant is closed except for guests) which was properly cooked and homemade. Walking the dogs up the lane at night we could see the milky way. Peaceful but only a short drive from Tavistock. Excellent breakfast menu and made fresh to order.

Lydford is a small village just off the A386 to the west of Dartmoor and south of Okehampton. Probably most famous for the Lydford gorge but the village itself has other attraction including Lydford Castle which is actually an old courthouse and prison and mounds from the Saxon town. There is also an ancient spring and numerous footpaths. It has a traditional village pub and there is a nearby farm shop. From the village it's possible to see and easily reach the moor with its Tors and ancient settlements, stone rows etc:

Lydford Gorge is a wonderful walk,(National Trust) challenging for some, in parts, with narrow slippery paths, hand rails provided where necessary. Not difficult, but care must be taken at all times when near the river.
The Castle Inn very good food and service.

Lydford and the surrounding areas have much to offer those who have never been before and those like myself who have either been before or worked in the area. Churchyards with interesting churchyards, monuments, Lydford Gorge. The space of Dartmoor for peaceful thoughts. Life is far too busy these days, lose yourself within this part of the country. You will return home feeling refreshed from visiting here...and have the need of a return.

The place was beautiful, and well worth going. The waterfall itself is huge and the walk around the trust is easy going and relaxing. Well worth going to the bird hide if you've got the time too :)

A epic quest through the gorge.
A epic quest through the gorge. Just enough adventure - well cared for paths, obvious routes, a map, but also challenging terrain, interesting nooks to explore and incredible scenery. Speak to the folks at the desk as they will give you tips. The devil's cauldron was shut due to off season renovation, so next time we go I'd like to see that - will definitely be back!
The house is set in a stunning location and is beautiful. The owner, Jodie was very warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area and its history. The room was clean and very comfortable with a lovely shower and bath. The room was well stocked with tea, coffee and water. Fresh milk was also available every day. The breakfast was delicious every day and the honey made on the farm was to die for! I was delighted I could buy some to bring home. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and cannot wait to return later in the year.
This was a beautiful hotel. The decor throughout was just lovely and it felt welcoming. For breakfast there was a good choice of food available and it tasted wonderful. The service was brilliant and the young lady who served us was so polite and helpful. We had a meal at one of the local pubs - The Castle - and the food there was delicious and again very good service by all the staff we had dealings with.
Lovely cosy place with a really comfortable bed and hot shower. Location ideal for walking to Lydford Gorge and exploring Dartmoor generally. There was parking opposite the front but also a free car park just down the road opposite the pub which was excellent. Super gluten free options and good ales on offer! Really sad we had to leave!
We enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful setting of the Linhay and its proximity to walks on the moors and the Lydford Gorge. It is also well-placed for visits to may locations further afield. The accommodation is comfortable and feels like a home. The welcome treats were very much appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
Gorgeous location with really unique and homely rooms. Not to mention the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating too. One of my favourite hotel experiences in a long while and will not hesitate to visit there if I'm back in the area.
Lydford is the perfect base from which to explore Dartmoor, and Townend Barn is perfectly located within Lydford!
Tania and Nick were welcoming, friendly and went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable.
Lovely hotel with gorgeous garden. Staff very welcoming & friendly. Rooms very nice and comfortable but a little small but it is an old Inn so is to be expected. Would definitely stay again.
An inn full of character, close to Lydford Gorge. Stayed in annexe cottage. The room was warm, with a nice bathroom, and faultlessly clean. Excellent food.
Stayed for 2 nights in October.
The lovely breakfast and the serene location. Room was very comfortable. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Lydford Gorge and the western tors of Dartmoor are very close.
Great location for Lydford and The Granite Way cycle path. Great host and a lovely breakfast. Big room, niice bathroom and a great view of the moor. Thanks Angela.
