Delightful family who open their home to guests, private warm room with confortable bed, bonus continental breakfast with real coffee and conversation.
My stay at Lydford Place was absolutely fantastic. The space was spotlessly clean and warm, making it instantly comfortable. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area, offering great local tips. They were also very accommodating when I had to make changes due to the weather. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-cared-for place to stay.

What makes this property unique
Our home is designed with comfort and privacy in mind.
The lounge, dining, and kitchen areas are separated by doors, which helps keep the other spaces more private. We have wooden floors, so you might hear a bit of foot traffic during the day.
Temperature-wise, it’s a cozy spot in winter and stays nice and cool in summer.
