Duchy House Bed and Breakfast, hotel in Lydford

Located in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, Duchy House Bed and Breakfast is nestled in the village of Princetown.

Nice cosy and clean room (and bathroom) - everything was spick and span. Good (vegan) breakfast options, though would've been nice if there were more savoury choices (there was only one, which I didn't have). Excellent location as Princetown is in the centre of the moors, providing easy access all around. Richard and Caroline were friendly and courteous, making the entire stay pleasant.

The Ramblers' Rest - Princetown, hotel in Lydford

23 miles from Newton Abbot Racecourse in Princetown, The Ramblers' Rest - Princetown provides accommodations with access to spa facilities.

Great location close to the crossroads in the center of Dartmoor. 5 minute drive from Wistman's Wood, and very close to many other fantastic locations as well. (Note that the attached photo was taken with a zoom lens from the edge of the wood, please do not walk into the wood!) There are many excellent framed photographs hanging all over the hotel from local landscape photographer Greg Braund. The drying room was fantastic and really useful since it was a very wet weekend! Owner Nikki was nice and very hospitable. The hot tub is great, and really huge! Comfy beds.

    Perfect for a quiet getaway, a little off the beaten track but beautifully situated amongst rolling countryside with stunning views. The traditional farmhouse has everything you need, room is well appointed and very comfortable and your host is charming and helpful. You'll also receive a warm welcome from Larry 😀

    Angelina was a great host and made us feel very at home, the furniture was really in keeping of a Devon longhouse that was built in the 1700's. The breakfast was all local produce and was very tasty and she had also taken into account that I am gluten free so thank you very much. We would definitely stay again but would come prepared with some warmer jumpers.

    Great location and outstanding hosts! Very close to a number of walking routes which was the main reason we visited Dartmoor. Kim and Geoff were great hosts and were always on hand to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend staying here if you are planning on visiting the area.
