Lydford Country House

Lydford House is set in 8 acres of beautiful grounds within the Dartmoor National Park and has been welcoming guests for more than 100 years. This 4 diamond establishment offers well appointed en-suite bedrooms, log fires in the guest lounge and genuine Italian cuisine created by our in house Italian chef in "La Cascata" restaurant.

Stables allow the horses of guests to stay free and dog baskets are provided for canine companions.

Private access onto the "Granite Way" off-road cycle path combined with on-site cycle hire can make for an alternative safe way to view the spectacular countryside.

The historic village of Lydford has an interesting medieval castle and Lydford Gorge with the White Lady waterfall. Alternatively drive out to explore the Peninsula; the South Devon coast, North Cornish coasts, Eden Project, Exeter and Plymouth are all less than an hour's drive away making Lydford House an ideal central location to explore far and wide!
