Places to Eat and Enjoy a Drink or Two

We are blessed with an abundance of excellent local pubs, hotels and award winning restaurants close to Lobhill Farmhouse bed & breakfast and self catering accommodation.

Here are a few local suggestions.

The Dartmoor Inn, Lydford
Lydford, Tavistock, Devon EX20 4AY | 01822 820221

Regarded by many as a special place. The cooking is fantastic, the bar is warm, the style, which owes a bit to Sweden and a bit to New England, will make you feel at home. The restaurant is made up of a series of cosy, stylish dining rooms, each with its own identity. Although there are linen cloths and sparkling glassware on every table the feeling is relaxed.

The award-winning cooking is based on seasonal ingredients and much work has gone into forging links with local farmers and food artisans to ensure the best local produce. The bar has a great gin selection, wines and local ales.  You’ll find a menu ranging from fabulously light fish and chips with green mayonnaise to a fillet of duck, vanilla apple purée, prunes and toasted almonds or a glorious Dexter rump steak.

Lewtrenchard Manor
Lewdown, Near Okehampton, EX20 4PN | 01566 783 222

Diners are treated to a special dining experience created by Head Chef, Tom Browning. The quality of the cuisine attracts many non-resident diners to the restaurant and the atmosphere is cheerful and relaxed, with a lively buzz of conversation. This is partly due to the friendliness of the chef and staff, but the excellence and diversity of the cellar, which features modestly priced bottles from every wine producing region in the world, obviously helps.

Bearslake Inn

The restaurant specialises in local produce. The South West of England is blessed with wonderful supplies of fresh meat, fish and vegetables direct from the farmer, fisherman or grower as well as a host of small artisan producers of cheese, ice cream, chocolates and smoked products to name but a few. In the snug bar, they primarily stock ales from the Otter Brewery in Honiton and Teignworthy Brewery Newton Abbot.
