We have just had a family birthday celebration at The Dartmoor Inn. The staff were so helpful and welcoming and made our event seem so special. The food was excellent and we were so well catered for. Our family unit has one coeliac, one vegetarian and a child and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend The Dartmoor Inn... More

On the way home from a day in Cornwall we decided to drop in to Lydford for some dinner. I have read and heard some really good things about this place, so excited and hungry we pitched up at about 20:00.. The next hour was possibly one of the most uncomfortable and disappointing dining experiences I can remember. Not sure... More

Thank you for another wonderful experience, we stayed for the night, which we have done on a number of occasions. The staff are warm and very friendly, the food is divine and the rooms warm and cosy. The Inn has a rustic homely feel and we are always made to feel very welcome. We have stayed in two of the... More

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

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
