Cosy corners with little signs that Autumn is on its way 🍁🍂🎃

A beautiful sunset sky to finish our week at the Inn 🌅

As we edge ever closer to Autumn, we will miss these light evenings, but as the nights draw in we look forward to the cosy nights & roaring log fires.

Looking forward to doing it all again next week, back on Wednesday 🍽️🍺

Free entry to Lydford Gorge on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September for this year's Heritage Open Days.

Not your average National Trust experience. Here you can explore a temperate rainforest, take in the towering Whitelady Waterfall, and descend into the roaring Devil's Cauldron.

Open 10am to 4.30pm, no need to book but please check https://bit.ly/GorgeInfo before travelling in case of any closures for safety. Sturdy footwear with good grip is recommended and dogs are welcome on leads.

Beautiful baby courgette flowers fresh from Mikes allotment in Lifton 💛

These courgettes form an integral part of our current Atlantic Cod dish, with delicious scallop mousse set into the flowers and then served with a Brandade Beignet, Lemongrass, Dashi & Corriander Oil.

Come for a walk with Tess, Willow & Midge 🐾

We are so lucky to have access to Dartmoor right behind the Inn, so decided to bring you along for a little drizzly Thursday afternoon walk!

Willow did have a full puddle suit and wellies which in classic 5 year old style, she refused to wear opting for crocs instead!

Across high down there is the perfect walks for all ages and abilities, especially to create that appetite to join us for some lovely food or a drink after 🍻

Fantastic news, the bridge by Lydford Gorge National Trust is open once again!

Amazing to see that the bridge has been opened before expected and means that you will still be able to access us via Lydford whilst the A386 is closed from Harford Bridge to Mary Tavy station Road overnight from this evening (1st Sept for 5 nights)



Thank you to our team member Kate for sending us this update.

There’s something rather lovely about late summer on Dartmoor. 🌿

Longer evenings, cooler walks, the last of the summer produce making its way onto our plates, and that feeling that there’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy.

Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner, stopping by for a drink after a day exploring Lydford, or simply coming for a really good meal, we’ll see you at The Dartmoor Inn.

Good food. Good drinks. Good company. And Dartmoor on the doorstep.
