What a great place to stay, afternoon tea is a must (it might look a little expensive, but it was worth every penny). A little out of the way, don't make the mistake of coming through the back road.

Bovey Castle is absolutely beautiful. It’s calm, immaculate and lavish. The staff were all friendly, helpful and professional at all times…even when we witnessed them being faced with challenging entitled guests. The grounds are stunning. We enjoyed a relaxing swim in the evening and a beautiful walk around the garden. Our room was extremely well presented. It was spacious and everything we needed was provided. Unfortunately we were glad to only be staying for one night as it was the worst night sleep in a hotel ever. The mattresses clearly hadn’t been replaced in a very long time as they both (a queen size bed made up of joining two singles) had a huge dip in the middle where people had slept. And worse still our room adjoined the hotel lift which was unbearably noisy and meant we were disturbed off and on all night. Such a shame as I’m sure another room with newer mattresses would’ve made it the perfect stay. And for any future guests don’t automatically follow a satnav without checking the route or you may end up driving some extremely small unsuitable lanes.

This was an excellent, beautiful stay. Staff looked out for our every need. I loved the fireplaces, the outdoors, the food & drinks, our room, & the beautiful geo

Food is very expensive

Fantastic stay. Lodges are very well equipped. Staff were excellent.

Really characterful building, charming and helpful staff, nicely appointed room/bathroom, excellent food in the Great Western Grill (fine dining restaurant), all in all a proper 5* hotel.

No words to describe best time we had thank you

The whole stay was first rate from start to finish

Room was very clean and comfortable if a little tired. Staff were brilliant. Great location to explore Dartmoor. Grounds were beautiful and spa was very nice. Lovely meal in the brasserie. Would have liked breakfast to gave been included for the price.

Relaxing and peaceful.

Unique hotel. Beautiful estate, very relaxing place. Excellent and professional staff.

Tv stopped working . Not many food options for gluten free

Exquisite hotel in a beautiful location. I am looking forward to my next visit

Staff excellent very small room and lighting poor couldn't see what I was doing and had to use the torch on my phone to make a cup of tea. Enjoyed my stay at Bovey Castle.

The service was outstanding, rooms were amazing, everything was incredible

Highly recommend the lodges, large rooms which are of high quality.

On arriving at our room for our ruby wedding anniversary we thought there might be an upgrade but no. Also there was a very noisy family with a crying baby that did wake us on 2 occasions during the first night. We did ask to be moved but were told that we would need to pay an extra £100 per night as they had no more classic rooms. On checking the website there was more classic rooms available and also castle rooms at an extra £40 per night. This was not offered. Our first nights meal was £134 approximately and we shared a starter and then had a lamb stew with boiled potatoes and beef short ribs with undercooked fondant potatoes and a small spoonful of cauliflower cheese. Plus a bottle of wine. We know it’s just a brasserie but overpriced with 12.5% service charge. We have been to Bovey many times and feel it is no longer a 5* hotel and has gone downhill.

Very lovely stay, the staff were lovely, the food was amazing, we’ll definitely stay again.

Food was lovely. Breakfast varied with hot options cooked to order. Dinners at both restaurants very nice but overpriced for what they are. Service very good across the hotel. Cleanliness very good in all parts of hotel. Spa treatments were amazing using TempleSpa products. Lovely grounds. Swimming pool cold and whirlpool area not heated.

Lovely large room, great views. Just a totally relaxing place to stay
