We arrived with two standard poodles - not everyone's cup of tea, but mine hosts couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Our room - Wagtail - had its own exit straight onto the moor which was ideal for letting the dogs out first thing in the morning! The perfect place for quietitude, walking and riding. Once settled we were... more

If the hamlet of Postbridge is the center of wild and wonderful Dartmoor, then Lydgate House is its heart. Set on 36 acres of lovely green fields and hills, beside an exuberant river, with charming rooms and superb breakfasts and dinners, Lydgate is that rare find, a destination in its own right. Innkeepers Anna and Douglas are delightful hosts, full... more

It's not easy finding quality and comfortable places to take a lively labradoodle. In the dartmoor area there is a dearth of choices (Edgemoor Hotel OK but basic, Bovey Castle offered kennels and it is way overpriced for what it delivers) so we arrived at Lydgate with some trepidation.There was no need to worry and the previous reviews have got... more

Booked Lydgate House at short notice as my colleague and myself were on business trip to Plymouth about 20 miles away. I prefer to stay at small hotels where you get better value for money, and a more personal service. Lydgate House fitted the bill. Down a quiet lane in the heart of Dartmoor. The hotel is in an idylic... more

Very lovely house on Dartmoor. Ideal location for hiking. However, expensive and not really special enough to justify it. The dinner was overpriced & frankly not above home cooking standard. The breakfast, on the other hand, was really good. The owners were friendly & welcoming, the bed was comfortable. Just my standard gripe about not using blackout lining on the... more

We were looking for a place to relax, unwind from the hustle and bustle of hectic lives, to get out into the great outdoors of Dartmoor and we found Lydgate House - and what a find! From the moment we arrived until we begrudglingly left two nights later we were made to feel so much at home and part of... more

My husband and I stayed here for a romantic weekend away from busy-ness of London and our everyday lives. That is exactly what we got! There is no mobile phone service at the hotel so be pepared to really escape! The owners (Anna and Doug) go out of their way whenver possible to make your stay more relaxing and pleasurable.... more

We have stayed at Lydgate House many times over the past few years,and I just wanted to let everyone know that we think it has never been better than it is now,under the new ownership of Douglas and Anna! For us and Molly,our Labrador,it is absolute perfection. As soon as you turn up the pretty little drive you'll know you've... more

Having been to this hotel a couple of years ago when it was under different ownership I was so disappointed to visit again and discover the quality of the food had deteriorated from the superb to the barely edible. The set menu of two choices for first and main course was awful. As I am not a lover of goats... more
