Lydford Country House is set in 8 acres of beautiful grounds within the Dartmoor National Park and has been welcoming guests for more than a 100 years. This 5 star establishment offers well appointed en-suite bedrooms, log fires in the guest lounge and genuine Italian cuisine, created by our Italian chef, in the garden room restaurant "La Cascata". Stables allow the horses of guest to stay at a small extra cost and dog baskets are provided for canine companions. With private access onto the "Granite Way" off-road cycle path you can hire one of our bikes as 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. Lydford village has an interesting medieval castle and the nearby Lydford Gorge (National Trust) 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 than an hours drive away making Lydford House an ideal central location to explore far and wide!
