🍂 Autumn Sundays at Lydgate House – An Adults only Sunday Roast Experience

There's something rather special about a Sunday in autumn on Dartmoor… the beautiful changing colours, crisp fresh air, peaceful woodland walks and the welcoming warmth of a roaring fire.

This November, we are delighted to invite you to experience a little of the Lydgate House magic as we open our dining room for our traditional Sunday Roasts.

🍁 Why not make a day of it?

Enjoy a lovely autumnal walk across Dartmoor, perhaps exploring the beautiful woodlands and riverside paths surrounding Lydgate House, before returning to the warmth and comfort of our country house hotel.

Settle into our cosy guest lounge, enjoy a pre-lunch drink beside the fire, and allow yourself a little time to unwind before making your way into our elegant dining room.

Here, Sarah will be preparing a delicious, traditional Sunday roast using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with everything lovingly prepared in our own kitchen.

🍽️ 2 Courses – £35 per person

Beautiful duo roast of Beef and Chicken, served with all the traditional trimmings, followed by a tempting homemade dessert of your choice.

It's all about wonderful food, a relaxed atmosphere and the personal touches that make a visit to Lydgate House so special.

❤️ As a small, family-run country house hotel, we take great pride in our "award-winning hospitality", and we would love to share that same warm, personal experience with you.

🌿✨ Discover the Hidden Tranquillity of Stone Lane Gardens ✨🌳

Nestled on the edge of the moor, Stone Lane Gardens offers 5 – 15 acres of woodland beauty with winding walks, ponds, rare birch and alder collections, and thoughtful sculpture dotted among the trees.

For guests at Lydgate House Hotel who appreciate elegant days out, the kind that refresh the spirit and slow the pace, this is just the place. Wander under towering trunks, pause by a glinting pond, and breathe in that serene moor-edge atmosphere.

It's the Little Things That Make the Biggest Memories!

We received the loveliest email from Siobhan and Ray after their recent stay with us at Lydgate House, and we just had to share their kind words! 🥰

"Hello Sarah, John and Kelly,

We have arrived home from the perfect stay at the Hotel and would like to say a very big thank you to you all.

My birthday was made extra special by the simple touch of a candle in my dessert, such a small thing that meant a lot to me.

We hope to return next year.

Best wishes, Siobhan and Ray."

❤️ It's messages like these that remind us why we love what we do!

Sometimes it's the smallest little touches that make the biggest difference, and knowing we helped make Siobhan's birthday that extra bit special means the world to us.

Thank you both for your wonderful words. It was an absolute pleasure having you stay, and we can't wait to welcome you back to our little corner of Dartmoor next year! 🌿
