    welcoming lounge
    friendly owners

    The large lounge area provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the four-poster bed in our room was incredibly comfortable, with crisp white sheets enhancing the experience. Breakfast included freshly cooked options and local honeycomb that was a delight. The surroundings were meticulously clean, and the owners were friendly and attentive without being intrusive.

    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    relaxing garden
    closed restaurant

    Our family loved our stay, especially the cozy superior double room and the delicious breakfast each morning. The garden was a wonderful place to unwind, and we enjoyed watching TV in the lounge area. It's a bummer the restaurant is no longer open, but with two great pubs just a stroll away, we found great meals very close by! 😊

    beautiful scenery
    friendly atmosphere
    lack of kids' area

    We had a fantastic time exploring the stunning River Lyd, which winds beautifully through Lydford Forest. The rooms were well-appointed and the breakfast was a delight—my kids especially loved the friendly atmosphere as we gathered to eat each morning.

    In my wife’s opinion, a kids' play area would be great.

    comfortable bedding
    inviting lounge
    clean facilities
    shower accessibility
    outdoor seating

    I enjoyed my stay in the Superior Double Room for two nights. The owners were incredibly welcoming, making sure we felt at home. The room was beautifully decorated, and the bedding was crisp and comfortable. A delightful breakfast greeted me each morning, with plenty of options like fresh fruit and delicious cooked dishes. I really appreciated the clean facilities throughout the hotel. The lounge area was inviting, with cozy seating around a charming log burner, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. I found it challenging to access the shower over the bath due to my knee issues. This may not be a concern for everyone, but it's worth noting for those with similar mobility challenges. it would be nice to have more seating options available outdoors for those warm evenings. a lovely stay with minor issues that didn't overshadow the experience.

    Charming getaway with local flair

    I had a fab time here! The four-poster room was cozy and had stunning views. The warm scone with cream tea was def the highlight! Felt so homey with the candlelit lounge. My only gripe? The bathroom was a bit cramped. But, breakfast was top-notch with plenty of choices. Perfect base for exploring the area!

    Highly Recommend it for Couples

    We had a fabulous experience at this hotel. The four poster bed was super comfy and the view from our room overlooking the garden was just perfect.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but still reasonable for what we got.

    stunning decorations
    local wool bedding
    attentive hospitality
    no restaurant
    shower access difficulty

    During my stay as a solo traveler, I was captivated by the overall beauty and charm of the place. The decorations were stunning, and I especially loved the local wool bedding that made my sleep fantastic. The hosts, Judy and Jonathan, truly made my experience special with their attentive hospitality, and breakfast made with fresh local ingredients was a highlight of each morning. Plus, the nearby pub for evening drinks was a perfect touch after a day of exploration.
