The Castle Inn

Featured in Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles", The castle Inn lies on the western slopes of Dartmoor National Park.

Built in 1550, its plain pink exterior offers no clue to what awaits you inside. Slate floors, stone walls and low bowed ceilings house a superb collection of high backed settles and curios from every era. The charming restaurant features a great Norman fireplace allegedly originating from the 12thC castle next door.

The eight guest bedrooms, all en-suite with television and direct dial telephone, are all decorated in individual styles.

There is a covered patio at the back with more seating in the pretty gardens.

The hidden remains of a bronze age are situated nearby and it is here that a Royal mint was established during the reign of Ethelred the Unready, producing "Lydford Pennies" which can be seen in the restaurant area.

Situated approximately 5 miles off the A30, The Castle Inn offers easy access to both North and South coasts as well as many historic properties and gardens, including picturesque Lydford Gorge nearby.
