Welcome to Lydgate Cottage

1.jpg

Lydgate Cottage is a charming, self-catering retreat tucked away within the grounds of our award-winning, family run Country House Hotel in the heart of Dartmoor National Park. Set on Royal Duchy Land, this peaceful haven offers guests the perfect base for exploring the very best of Devon’s wild and beautiful landscape.

The Cottage enjoys stunning views across our private 36-acre valley, with the East Dart River meandering below and the moor stretching out beyond. From the doorstep, guests can step straight onto the open moor, making it an ideal choice for walkers and nature lovers alike.

This hidden gem combines comfort, seclusion, and extraordinary scenery everything you need for a truly memorable Dartmoor escape.

Your Space

Lydgate Cottage beautifully combines the charm of a traditional Dartmoor stone barn with a light filled, contemporary interior, thoughtfully designed to welcome you in comfort and style.

The main lounge invites you to relax beside the cosy wood burner stove, while a telescope offers the opportunity to stargaze under Dartmoor’s famously dark skies or take in the sweeping views across the valley, ideal for spotting local flora and fauna. A 2nd reception room provides the added luxury of a flexible space.

 

Inside, you’ll find 2 beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with their own private bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy throughout your stay.

 

Step out onto your private terrace for alfresco dining and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the surrounding landscape, where nature provides the perfect backdrop for rest and re-connection.

Whether you visit in the long, light days of summer or during the atmospheric mists of winter, the Cottage is a peaceful and luxurious retreat in every season.

You are also welcome to enhance their stay with one of our exclusive packages and enjoy access to the award winning facilities and warm hospitality of Lydgate House Hotel, adding a little extra magic to your Dartmoor escape.

Our 2nd reception room offers a peaceful retreat a place to pause and recharge.

 

Whether you're curling up with a book, enjoying a quiet moment of mindfulness, flowing through some gentle yoga, or simply sinking into your favourite music via the Bluetooth speaker, this space invites you to slow down and truly unwind.​

 

If you need to work while your away, the room also features a charming bureau, perfectly positioned to make the most of the stunning double-aspect views, a calm and inspiring setting for those moments when you need to stay connected.

What our Guests Say

Highly recommend!

"Just back from a week in the beautiful Lydgate cottage attached to the hotel, set in a stunningly beautiful, a very peaceful location. The cottage is lovely has everything you need.  John, Sarah and Kelly are very friendly, helpful and around if you need them, without being intrusive. You can order from the hotel's menu and have dinner delivered to the cottage, which was a real treat! The perfect base for exploring Dartmoor and further afield there's loads to do within 45 minutes to an hour's drive. Highly recommend!"
