About

Set in the rolling Teign Valley, The Cridford Inn is a living tapestry of over a thousand years of history, dating back to the 8th century. The timber‑laden longhouse is steeped in legend, yet its rooms are re‑imagined as cozy, fully ensuite retreats that marry rustic charm with modern comfort. The inn’s inviting front bar hosts a signature selection of local ales and a curated gin list, while the restaurant delivers seasonal dishes infused with medieval inspiration, all served amid the intimate glow of a wood‑fired hearth. Guests will discover four beautifully restored bedrooms that reflect the inn’s storied past – one of which, The Burrow, is fully accessible, featuring a wet room shower, wide doorways and a welcoming fire. A hearty full West Country breakfast is served each morning, and dogs are welcomed on a nightly basis for £10 per night. Daily events – from live music evenings to themed whiskey tastings – add a touch of community spirit to the tranquil surroundings. For the adventurous, the Inn offers the popular MTB Adventure Break package: three nights’ accommodation, breakfast, and a three‑course dinner, paired with guided mountain‑bike rides across Dartmoor’s most scenic trails. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family weekend or a cycling retreat, The Cridford Inn blends historic elegance with contemporary hospitality to deliver an unforgettable Devon experience.
