Lydford is a small village just off the A386 to the west of Dartmoor and south of Okehampton. Probably most famous for the Lydford gorge but the village itself has other attraction including Lydford Castle which is actually an old courthouse and prison and mounds from the Saxon town. There is also an ancient spring and numerous footpaths. It has a traditional village pub and there is a nearby farm shop. From the village it's possible to see and easily reach the moor with its Tors and ancient settlements, stone rows etc:

Lydford Gorge is a wonderful walk,(National Trust) challenging for some, in parts, with narrow slippery paths, hand rails provided where necessary. Not difficult, but care must be taken at all times when near the river.
The Castle Inn very good food and service.

Lydford and the surrounding areas have much to offer those who have never been before and those like myself who have either been before or worked in the area. Churchyards with interesting churchyards, monuments, Lydford Gorge. The space of Dartmoor for peaceful thoughts. Life is far too busy these days, lose yourself within this part of the country. You will return home feeling refreshed from visiting here...and have the need of a return.

The place was beautiful, and well worth going. The waterfall itself is huge and the walk around the trust is easy going and relaxing. Well worth going to the bird hide if you've got the time too :)

A epic quest through the gorge.
A epic quest through the gorge. Just enough adventure - well cared for paths, obvious routes, a map, but also challenging terrain, interesting nooks to explore and incredible scenery. Speak to the folks at the desk as they will give you tips. The devil's cauldron was shut due to off season renovation, so next time we go I'd like to see that - will definitely be back!
The property is very well situated, less than a mile to Lydford village but also an excellent base to either explore Dartmoor or use it as a base to do a variety of Dartmoor exploring and venture elsewhere. The property is presented extremely well inside, it’s homely, clean and the room was very high standard whilst still maintaining its charm. Even the scent used in the room was welcoming and fresh. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and only too happy to help!
This was a beautiful hotel. The decor throughout was just lovely and it felt welcoming. For breakfast there was a good choice of food available and it tasted wonderful. The service was brilliant and the young lady who served us was so polite and helpful. We had a meal at one of the local pubs - The Castle - and the food there was delicious and again very good service by all the staff we had dealings with.
We enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful setting of the Linhay and its proximity to walks on the moors and the Lydford Gorge. It is also well-placed for visits to may locations further afield. The accommodation is comfortable and feels like a home. The welcome treats were very much appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
Historically interesting and set in a pretty village, very handy for Lydford Gorge. The staff were very welcoming, even the dog had a lovely welcome treat bag, and the food was great. Bed and linens were top quality. Surrounded by footpaths so perfect for walking too.
We used the Fox and Hounds as a base for our golf trip.
The hotel/pub was located just outside of Tavistock.
Check in was simple.
The rooms had everything required and everything worked.
Our evening meal and breakfast was very good.
Lydford is the perfect base from which to explore Dartmoor, and Townend Barn is perfectly located within Lydford!
Tania and Nick were welcoming, friendly and went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable.
Beautifully presented barn conversion. Perfect for us and our 2 dogs. The wood burner kept us cosy during the wintry Dartmoor days and nights. Lydford is a quiet village, easy to get to some lovely walks.
Lovely hotel with gorgeous garden. Staff very welcoming & friendly. Rooms very nice and comfortable but a little small but it is an old Inn so is to be expected. Would definitely stay again.
The lovely breakfast and the serene location. Room was very comfortable. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Lydford Gorge and the western tors of Dartmoor are very close.
Great location for Lydford and The Granite Way cycle path. Great host and a lovely breakfast. Big room, niice bathroom and a great view of the moor. Thanks Angela.
