A very warm and very friendly atmosphere. The food was of a very good standard and served quite quickly. The location was perfect for us, a good central location for the places we planned to visit. Also being on the edge of the moor gave easy access to Dartmoor for walks.

We loved our stay here! Angela was an incredible host, and we loved hearing her story and learning more about the B&B. Since there weren't other guests when we stayed, she was kind enough to move us to a larger room. Breakfast was amazing and our room was comfortable and clean.

Angelena was the perfect host. She was extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful and accommodating, a really lovely person. All of this was set in a wonderful location. We would love to return.

Lovely pub in a quiet location, perfectly situated for a stop over en route to Cornwall. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was bigger than we expected, and very comfortable. We ate there and the food was good. We had a very good value self-service continental breakfast.

Friendly hosts, lovely big room with private enclosed patio area with attractive planting and garden furniture. The patio was perfect for our dogs. The room had a fridge. We had an evening meal (which has to be ordered in advance as the pub/restaurant is closed except for guests) which was properly cooked and homemade. Walking the dogs up the lane at night we could see the milky way. Peaceful but only a short drive from Tavistock. Excellent breakfast menu and made fresh to order.

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.
Great location in a pretty village, surrounded by walks for all abilities. Perfect base for exploring the area, seaside, moorlands, woods and forests, granite way. Townend Barn is a home from home with lovely hosts just on the doorstep for help and advice. Perfect stay in Lydford.
The room was perfect for a weekend getaway, well appointed and very comfortable. The hotel has multiple views of the moors. The living room was gorgeously decorated and was perfect to sit and relax around the fireplace. Breakfast was delicious.
Our second visit to this excellently located and terrific pub/hotel.
Outstanding room complete with bathtub, all the facilities and home comforts.
Will continue to return time after time. loved it and a welcome relaxing break. Thank you.
Lovely, well-appointed barn in a beautiful location on the edge of Dartmoor and an easy walk to the beautiful Lydford Gorge. Kim and Geoff were excellent hosts; friendly but not intrusive. The wood-burning stove was a delight!
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.
An inn full of character, close to Lydford Gorge. Stayed in annexe cottage. The room was warm, with a nice bathroom, and faultlessly clean. Excellent food.
Stayed for 2 nights in October.
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.
