Excellent!

Thoroughly enjoyed a recent 4 night's stay. Both Sarah and John are excellent hosts who make you feel extremely welcome and where nothing is too much trouble. Set in the heart of Dartmoor, my room (House Martin) looked over their privately owned woodland. A very good night's sleep is guaranteed. The breakfast and evening meals were exceptional and my only regret is that I didn't stay longer but I will most definitely be returning! Thank you both very much indeed.

It was lovely and John couldn't do enough to help us. If there was one thing we could mention to improve, it was to try to include vegan options for the main meal particularly as we had a very small plate of roasted veg for a main course and some mushrooms for starters which came in at £23.

Was on a cycling holiday and this was a perfect base. John, Sarah and the rest of the staff were impeccable hosts, very friendly, top notch service and couldn't have done more to help. A hearty breakfast to set me up each morning and a tasty meal at the end of the day (try the steak & horseradish pie - delicious!). Hotel is set off the main road, by a river and close to the Bellever Tor, so plenty to explore. Almost forgot, the room was clean with hot drink facilities available. Bed was comfortable too, I slept like a log.

What a great stay

This was a terrific stay and we were made very welcome. The location is great though care needs to be taken in finding it. Look for the hotel sign in Postbridge and the very narrow road is directly opposite. Superb views and very nicely appointed property. We ate in the hotel both nights (it was just easier) and it was excellent the first night but I thought it bit average on the second when we chose the chicken dish and the mushroom tagliatelle. Breakfasts are superb as well with all products locally sourced and great quality. The hotel is a short walk to the Dartmoor visitor centre with walks leading off from there, so ideal for walking, even directly outside the hotel’s front door.

Exceptional location, wonderful hosts.

Lydgate house is found up a fairly private track. Most of its room face onto great scenery, hills, a river and distance forest. You can walk straight from the house. Parking is easy and the hosts, Sarah and John are friendly and caring about your stay in their house. Rooms are clean and every thing you need. Our room had an amazing view. Food was lovely, with extra quality being the key ingredient. Sarah can provide evening meals and there is a small bar. It's a roomy house so you do not feel as if you are on top of each other. We would definitely like to go again, and recommend others not to miss out.

Lovely countryside B and B

We had looked for a comfortable base to enjoy some short Dartmoor walks (inspired by Julia Bradbury). Lydgate House did not disappoint. John and Sarah were very attentive and made sure everything we wanted was available. Attention to detail (especially for food allergens/preferences) was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. This place is highly recommended and we will stay again when we plan a further Dartmoor visit.

Luxury and affordable

The room was great - clean, spacious and with a very comfy bed. We also had a sun trap that it was lovely to sit in and relax on an evening after exploring Dartmoor and the surrounding area. Breakfast was really good (probs the best I've ever had) and whilst we didn't have our evening meal there the smell was enticing. Location is pretty much bang on in the middle of Dartmoor. The view from the conservatory where meals are served is really nice. There's also a beautiful little stream a tiny walk from the property and a pub and little shop are easily within walking distance (though of your staying on Dartmoor walking isn't probably an issue for you). Would definitely stay again if we wanted to explore Dartmoor some more.
