✨ “The relaxing and laid back nature of the house and the way the wonderful staff run it make it feel like a home from home. Yet they also manage to make it feel like a luxurious break away where no request is too much or too troublesome. It’s a real skill.”
Jill P

This is exactly what we hope each guest feels when they stay at Lydgate 💛
A peaceful escape where you’re looked after with genuine care and attention and where it always feels like coming home.

The drive to Lydgate House is quite simply spectacular 🌿

As you journey deeper into Dartmoor, the roads wind through sweeping moorland, rolling hills and wide-open skies, with breathtaking views unfolding around every corner.

And then you turn down our beautiful tree-lined drive and arrive at Lydgate House, tucked away in 36 acres of peaceful Royal Duchy valley land, surrounded by woodland, meadows and the gentle sound of the East Dart River.

There’s something rather special about the journey here. With every mile, the pace seems to slow, the landscape becomes wilder and everyday life feels a little further away.

By the time you arrive, your Dartmoor escape has already begun. ❤️

Come and experience the journey for yourself… we think the drive to Lydgate is every bit as memorable as the destination.

🌟 One question we get asked is "What's on the menu?"🌟

🐟 Freshly Baked Trout - Caught from local fresh waters, this succulent trout is seasoned to perfection and baked “en papillote” to bring out all its natural flavour. Just a squeeze of fresh lemon to elevate its delicate flavour.

🥩 Juicy Sirloin Steak - Sourced from our reputable local butcher, this cut of steak is pan your preferred taste. Left to rest ensuring it is served succulent and tender.

All accompanied with
🥔 English New Potatoes - Farm fresh new potatoes are boiled to perfection, offering a delightful balance of creamy texture and earthy goodness, topped with a k**b of English butter.

🌱 Broad Beans - Straight from the fields, these broad beans are cooked to retain their vibrant colour adding a fresh nutty flavour to the plate.

🥒Roasted Courgettes - Locally grown and bursting with flavour, our roasted courgettes are drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkle of rock salt, making them a deliciously savoury side dish.
