Unique location situated at the heart of the South West

A former coaching inn, The Arundell sits in the centre of Lifton, the most westerly corner of Devon in the Lyd valley.  This unique location, on the side of the old A30, puts it at the heart of all that the counties of Devon and Cornwall have to offer.  From the scenery of the Tamar and Lyd Valleys, Dartmoor & the North Cornwall coast through to the sourcing of both Cornish and Devon local produce.   

Its central location, reputation for fantastic food and  relaxed atmosphere have long attracted travellers, fishers, lovers of the countryside and those looking for a base to explore the region.

The village of Lifton is is also surrounded by some of England’s best wild fishing and for many it is the home of West Country Fly Fishing. The hotel has over 20 miles of rivers for wild fly fishing and expert guides on hand to provide tuition and advice.  

To explore our beautiful countryside we organise and arrange rambling, cycling and moorland riding and can provide both driven and rough shooting, and moorland stalking. 

Just as important, the hotel is renowned for its excellent food, whether in our  brasserie style restaurant, our cosy bar or the newly opened Deli. Our focus is on local, seasonal and wild ingredients with the best of Devon and Cornish produce at its heart.


Balloons and candy treats

You can experience balloon décor like never before from charming 3ft aisle balloons to enchanting table and photo accents.

Balloons are the very best way to bring your ‘Once Upon a Time…’ story to life. Ask Valerie, our certified balloon artist, to make to your Pinterest Board inspiration or your special design requests come true. Ask to see her portfolio of work.

With a palette of 70 Qualatex Balloons colours to choose from, our designs and custom colour can match any theme. We use 100 per cent biodegradable latex balloons obtained by tapping trees. A single rubber tree counteracts the CO2 emissions of a car driven 36,000 kms in its lifetime. The production of latex provides employment and income for many people living in some of the most impoverished places on Earth.

The perfect record of your wedding day

Being asked to be involved in a couple’s wedding day is something I - as Wiz Francis Photography - take great pride in.

My unobtrusive style of photography allows me to capture the beauty of natural shots throughout the whole day, from getting ready through to the evening party, including formal requests from family and friends.

I like to take advantage of the romantic surroundings and natural props to obtain the perfect snaps of the happy couple, encouraging them to take a short walk to give them a little time on their own, which is great for them and the album.
