(238)

The Dartmoor Inn is a very special place. You can come for lunch, dinner or why not make a night of it in one of our cosy bedrooms? Our restaurant is made up of a series of cosy, stylish dining rooms, each with its own identity and we endeavour to make your experience relaxed. The award-winning cooking is based on seasonal ingredients and much work has gone into forging links with local farmers and food artisans to ensure the best raw materials. The small bar has local ales and a log fire – of course – for those colder times. It serves pub classics, Dartmoor Inn style. The Inn’s 3 bedrooms are light, spacious and contemporary country in style. They’re all decorated with beautiful fabrics and furnished with antique and hand-painted furniture from England and France. The Dartmoor Inn at Lydford is situated on the western fringes of the Dartmoor
National Park; an area outstanding in its natural beauty and adjoining a national nature reserve and a site of special scientific interest for its wildlife and
geological value. Within walking distance of the Inn is the pretty village of Lydford with its 12th century
church, castle and the spectacular Lydford Gorge with its stunning ‘White Lady’ waterfall. Lydford is within a 20 minute drive of the historic market town of Tavistock and only
45 minutes from Exeter or Plymouth.

Our latest Atlantic Cod dish, freshly created by Head Chef Luke, brings together delicate Cod with spiced crown prince squash, curry sauce, stuffed chapati, coriander yoghurt, puffed wild rice and a zing of lime.

A beautiful balance of warming spices, fresh flavours and contrasting textures, a taste of something special this autumn. 🍂

As the seasons change and autumn settles across Dartmoor, our menus begin to reflect the best of what’s around us. 🍂

Our wood pigeon starter is a real taste of the season. Beautifully paired with salt-baked celeriac, pickled plums and girolles, bringing together rich, earthy and bright flavours in one dish.
