Away on a short break with no previous plans and we found this delightful place by chance and luckily a room was free. Clean, nicely decorated with thoughtful touches and a fantastic shower - we loved our room which had lovely views of the East Dart River and the valley. Excellent three course dinner and amazing breakfast. Our hosts were... More

We had a beautiful room, with a magnificant en-suite. The views from the window simply stunning. Breakfast was a real treat, and dinner well worth the money. Service at every level was friendly and professional in equal measure. I would be more than happy to return.

This was a fantastic hotel but the food was too expensive as was the rooms. We paid £10 more than our friends and had a room double the size. Brilliant area and stunning scenery. I would go back but would not eat at the hotel. Visit the pub just down the road. Wonderful for dogs and has a no children... More

I used to be a local of the area so it was important to me to find a lovely place to stay so I could show my friend the sights of dartmoor, I was not disappointed! Our one night stay was simply not enough. Location was excellent and I was pleased how close to the river we were, the room... More

The hotel is in a nice location for walking with several well posted trails for Dartmoor starting within easy distance (or indeed right outside the front door). The breakfast selection was really good and the evening meal was of very good quality. The room we stayed in was very quiet and the noise of the dart at the end of... More

Shorted our stay to one night when confronted with damp and very smelly room (Dipper, ground floor). Owner didn't care and made no apology. So bad it made me feel unwell and made my clothes smell. Hotel is extremely tired, living on past glories and reputation of previous superior management. Suspect deline will continue as we know other guests who... More

We had an extremely pleasant overnight stay in this cosy, welcoming country house hotel. The pros for this hotel are: - quietness and seclusion with no hint of traffic noise - lovely walks from the doorstep - extremely comfortable bed (Buzzard sleigh bed) - beautiful bar/lounge area - generous (heading towards over-generous) well-cooked dinner - one of the best breakfasts...

This hotel is up a lane just outside of the village, in a peaceful and quiet location. The present owners have only been there for a year and are developing a relaxing environment for their guests. We were offered a cream tea on arrival, and had several choices of walks directly out of the hotel including along the river. They... More

My husband and I spent one night at Lydgate House and wished that we could of stayed longer. Our room, Heron, was large & roomy with stunning views from two windows. The bathroom was spacious and the large roll top bath heavenly. The king size bed ensured a good nights sleep. The breakfast was of a very high standard -... More

Lovely small hotel with good rooms and excellent service, and we enjoyed dining with good food and pleasant surroundings. Karen is an excellent cook! Lounge is very comfortable space to sit and read in, after a days walking from the house. Highly recommended.
