We recently stayed for one night at the Dartmoor Inn @ Lydford. We wanted a country getaway and chose the Dartmoor Inn primarily on the strength of the food reviews and its location (great walks right from the door). The food and the service was exceptional. We were greeted with a warm welcome and offered tea, coffee and homemade biscuits... More

Called in for lunch, lovely atmospheric pub in beautiful surroundings. Very warm, friendly welcome. Superb service and lovely food. Good value for money. Lovely log fire. Perfect on a cold, wintery day! More

We have been visiting the restaurant for some years for lunches, so we chose to stay there over Christmas this year. It is close to family and the location is wonderful as there are some lovely walks nearby which we have enjoyed for many years. The downstairs of the Inn is acceptable if somewhat worn and dated with a good... More

My wife and I recently returned to the Dartmoor Inn for another excellent meal. We have been coming to the Dartmoor Inn for over ten years and always use it for special occasions. The food as usual was excellent, small portions which suite us both as we can then manage three courses. My wife had the chicken liver pate which... More

My partner and I had a meal here a few nights ago. Though we have never stayed at the inn, we have eaten here a number of times over the last ten years including special celebration meals with friends and family. The food has generally been very good though the service has been variable, ranging from excellent to just adequate.... More

We have visited the Dartmoor Inn on many occasions over the years, it has always been the best place to celebrate a special occasion - wonderful food, good service and overall a great dining experience. However from our recent experience i would say the wow factor has definitely gone and as stated in other reviews the service was poor and... More

We recently visited the Dartmoor Inn and did not really enjoy the experience.We were seated at a table very near the door and one of the chairs which was very rickety felt like it was about to give way..The menu is given to you clipped to a piece of grey cardboard which looks very tacky . Our starters came and... More

We returned this year after a couple of brilliant evenings last year and were not disappointed. The food is good value and excellent quality - can particularly recommend the mixed grill. Staff are friendly. Lounge and dining area are clean and nicely presented. More

Nice welcome bar area pleasant. However hallway leading to bedrooms very grotty and bedroom in need of an update as all quite shoddy. Looks much better on the website! No toiletries provided or tea making facilities which you would expect for the price. Fish and chips okay but no peas or tartar sauce. Breakfast very nice but very small in... More
