Welcome to Lydgate Cottage

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.
The Cottage
Lydgate Cottage beautifully combines the charm of a traditional Dartmoor stone barn with a light filled, contemporary interior, thoughtfully designed to welcome both couples and families in comfort and style.
Inside, you’ll find 2 beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, offering comfort and privacy throughout your stay. A 2nd reception room provides the added luxury of a flexible space, perfect as a quiet study with a desk, or a peaceful retreat for yoga, meditation, or simply unwinding to your favourite music on the Bluetooth speaker.
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.
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.
