Lydford Country House

Lydford Country House provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere within the Dartmoor National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Operating as hotel for over 100 years and with 5 star Guest House accreditation.

Surrounded by the high tors, it stands in 8 acres of delightful gardens and pasture land in the historic village of Lydford, through which the River Lyd rushes before tumbling into the renowned National Trust gorge with its spectacular White Lady waterfall.

Situated close to the Devon/Cornwall border, the high-cliffed North Cornish coastline, gentler South Devon coast, Eden Project and many other sites of interest are all less than an hours drive away.
Lydford Country House offers well appointed en-suite bedrooms, log fires in the guest lounge and superb cuisine created by Hugo Gouveia.

Stables allow the horses of guest to stay 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 is a jewel in this area of outstanding scenic beauty. To the north, just half a mile away, the high tors come right down to the village edge, while to the south the River Lyd winds its way through Lydford Forest on its tumbling course northwards. Lydford village has an interesting medieval castle and nearby Lydford Gorge (National Trust) with its peaceful woodland walks and White Lady waterfall is a must.

Alternatively drive out to explore the Peninsula; the South Devon coast, North Cornish coasts, Eden Project, Exeter and Plymouth are all less then an hour's drive away making Lydford Country House an ideal central location to explore far and wide!
