Alejandro
Amazing hotel and amenities. The staff is friendly and very welcoming to families. I would gladly stay in this hotel in the future.
VALERIE
Lovely English mansion, fantastic staff, beautiful place.
Tomas
Great
Garry
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.
Jo
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

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

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.

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.
Linda
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.
Jade
Very lovely stay, the staff were lovely, the food was amazing, we’ll definitely stay again.
Lauren
Food was lovely. Breakfast varied with hot options cooked to order.

Room was beautiful very clean,staff couldn’t do enough and our dog was also welcomed by all the staff which is amazing especially in a 5 star hotel.The grounds and mansion are stunning .We can not recommend enough and for sure will be back in future
Ian
Staff were amazing, the place itself is beautiful. Only feedback would be the spa could do with a touch up. Re paint, tiles missing in the pool, sauna as broken seat.
Elaine

Fabulous stay in one of the lodges on site. Great activities and very relaxing.
Scott Alfred
Castle and really historic feel to the building
Aleksejs
Overall - mah.
For some reason our allocated room was for people with special needs with pull cords hanging from the ceiling near the bed, special toilet seat and shower support elements. That removed the aesthetics we hoped for. Dinner at the main Great Western restaurant was ok but not wow, there was also a lack of vegetable salads options. Overall - mah.

Great 5* hotel
I would highly recommend this hotel. We had a Valley view room, which was super spacious with amazing views of the deer park. We also had dinner in Smiths Brasserie, which was informal but with very tasty food and great service.

Don't stay at this place!
You arrive at this place thinking \"wow - this looks lovely\" and you leave bitterly disappointed and with a really bad taste in your mouth, figuratively and literally.
Really consider some other options before considering this place.

Wonderful, quiet, relaxing country hotel with excellent, friendly, helpful staff. I will be going back again, hopefully soon!
Chris
What a beautiful property. Great hiking trails and many activities to enjoy. Spacious and comfortable room. The Bovey castle has lovely rooms to enjoy refreshments, tea or just relax and enjoy the fire. Would highly recommend.
Scott
Amazing winter retreat, cosiest hotel ever. Wonderful courteous staff, delicious food, beautiful grounds for going on a hike around Dartmoor.
We booked one night originally and decided to stay a second.

Beautiful location and surroundings. For the price, I expected it to be quite high end and they’re trying to be but don’t quite make it. Room smelt of baby sick on arrival so that a huge disappointment. I think they really lack good, quality staff but it is in the middle of nowhere so maybe tough to get good people. Service is slow, food took sooo long to come out. Gym is like a dungeon, dirty, dark, poor equipment and too small. Pool area was lovely. Room and views were awesome on the whole.

Sharon
OK but not the experience we expected
Arrival was confusing with the valet parking, it wasn’t clear. Our afternoon tea wasn’t served where we were told it would be, so wandered up and down trying to find it. Room was large and bed comfy, but mould all over the bathroom ceiling and had to request a fan as it wasn’t possible to reduce the room temperature. Also, window catch broken on one window. Pool nice and large but the pool area was a bit shabby and tired in places. Issues reported to reception on leaving but no further contact on any of them. Beautiful location and liked the fact they draw and treat their own water from the river for baths etc. but won’t be back.

Elaine
Stunning hotel, fantastic staff
Paul
Lovely staff made this an excellent stay.
Our stay at this hotel was lovely. There were a few issues with our bath and window but the staff arranged for an alternative room to be made available for us. Both rooms were very well appointed. The weather outside was poor but the reception rooms in the hotel were decorated beautifully and kept warm with lively open fires and we enjoyed refreshing drinks and tasty snacks. Our meals in the restaurants, served by friendly, polite, attentive staff, looked lovely and tasted even better. The spa facilities were excellent a good sized pool with hot sauna and steam rooms that were not overcrowded. It was a shame the falconer had to cancel because their eagle was unwell but we were invited back at another time to meet them and their birds. The minor issues that we experienced were dealt with so well by the staff, it left us definitely wanting to return. The staff working here were a real credit to the hotel.
David
Wonderful country house hotel in about 200 acres of stunning grounds. Lots of outdoorsy things to do. The sitting rooms are glorious with open fires and the staff are attentive and there are lots of little touches that make the hotel stand out. The food is excellent, eat in the Great Western Restaurant if you can. Breakfast excellent.
James
A superb stay in a beautiful setting. The rooms are superb, as is the service and the general ambience. The Great Western Grill provides an excellent dining experience, very much in keeping with the hotel.
Perhaps worth avoiding Smith's Brasserie though, which seems devoid of character, and to have been lifted from a nearby chain hotel. There are plenty of excellent pubs nearby though, so this isn't really an issue.

Mixed Stay
The property is large and pretty but seems to be suffering from a bit of overwhelm of staff and some basic misses (room was not ready by 4 which is already a late check in time - we had to wait over 30 mins); little help with the bags when arriving in the rain despite doorman standing in the doorway; too long for kid hours in the pools leaving adults with 5-8 pm only which is really dinner time; tired decor in rooms. On the plus side, the food was great and the beds were very comfortable. The service in the spa was good (despite pushing product sales) and the sauna and spa facilities were very nice and well kept.
Sophie
This time of the year is very special with the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and Christmas decorations around the hotel. The warm calming fireplaces give it an extra enchanted feel.
Jay
Brilliant stay
Fantastic and totally beautiful location. Quiet and lovely grounds. If you're a golfer it would be even better. Staff work so hard and are all so professional and welcoming. Beautiful at Christmas and I would recommend it unreservedly.
Brian
Excellent stay
Jack
Lovey hotel
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Before arrival, I requested a bouquet of flowers and some balloons to be arranged in our room, and it was beautifully set up just as we hoped.
The room itself was lovely, we stayed in a castle valley view room. Waking up to a breathtaking sunrise made it even more memorable.
The Sunday roast was exceptional, honestly, the best we’ve had anywhere, and we’ve tried many places for roasts! Breakfast was also excellent, with plenty of variety. We even requested a few items not on the menu, and it was no trouble at all.
A truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

Claudia
Okay stay, lovely rooms and grounds.
Room was nice and clean, the hotel itself is very nice but the service was just slightly off for a luxury hotel.
Breakfast was £25 per person and I ordered the avocado and egg on an English muffin with a side of bacon. I got an un-toasted half an English muffin with barely any avocado, it was tiny! I had to remind someone to bring the side of bacon I ordered. No one checked in on us or asked if everything was ok so we couldn’t give any feedback.
We thought this might have been a one off so we gave ‘the Great western grill’ a go for dinner and opted for chateaubriand. We were suspicious when the person taking our order didn’t ask how we would like it cooked. I had to tell them that we would like it cooked medium before they walked off.
It came out very rare bordering on blue, we had to send it back. For £70 I would expect these things to be perfect first time. Again no one checked in on us and we had to flag someone down to ask for more drinks.
Upon checking out we were hoping to provide some feedback but again, no one asked if we enjoyed our stay. It was all very odd. This place could be a gem if the service and food stepped it up a notch.

We have been here before (some years ago) and it was very nice to be back. The hotel building is very fine and it sits in beautiful grounds. The bar staff were friendly and chatty.
If we had concerns I would say that our evening meal was rather ordinary and the breakfast service was slow.
I hope though that we will be able to return some day.

Stayed in a lodge during August 24, family of four.
Fine for a cheap air bnb but no way a five star experience. lodge accommodation was well past its best and in need of reinvestment. Dated decor and furniture. Curtains falling off, dirty net curtain with holes in, old school dirty and broken Venetian blinds, stale cigarette smoke, very limited equipment for cooking, tiny tv with a dvd player, said there was chrome cast but didn’t work despite asking. Whole lodge was uncomfortably hot as hot water boilers on all the time, but yet the towel rads couldn’t be turned on so wet towels. Cleaners come twice a week - so in a 7 night stay they came day 3 and then final day - what’s the point?
In short just lots and lots and of small things that led to a feeling of disappointment, especially at £650 a night.
Pool has seen better days and was rammed - not manned so kids just doing what they want. Only went once despite it being what the kids wanted to do most.
Both restaurants hugely disappointing especially given sky high prices. Poor service and poor food which features in many other reviews.
Nice areas to relax in throughout the hotel, but staff impossible to find to get drinks etc.
Complained to the team onsite who were kind enough to offer some money off, but still disappointing and feel I’ve wasted money.
The archery and falconry were great, albeit expensive, but very good experience with brilliant people running them which was one saving grace.
Avoid.

This is our 3rd time at Bovey & never disappoints. We stayed at the lodges on this occasion as we were travelling as a group. The lodges are lovely & spacious and equipped with everything needed. The grounds are impressive & lots of onsite activities to entertain the whole family. The hotel team are extremely helpful & friendly and make each stay memorable. Always sad to leave but we will return.

Excellent place for a weekend or mid-week getaway. Lots of walks in woods and along river; dog friendly. Swimming pool, tennis, croquet, boule and a huge golf course. There are many other (paid) pursuits, i.e. archery, air rifles, off road driving and even falconry. It is an historic country house hotel with comfortable rooms, quiet corners and two restaurants with bars. Also family lodges in the tree area beside the main building.

This is a beautiful place and a wonderful setting and the levels of service were significantly better than when I stayed here a couple of years ago as they have clearly staffed up since then. Couple of irritating things - £25 to use the EV charger - ridiculous, breakfast is still a bit of a shambles organisationally and you pay £28 a head for this privilege !
Christina
Everything about Bovey Castle was truly wonderful. It was in a beautiful location, with excellent facilities and delicious food. Above all, the staff was really helpful and friendly at all times. We will definitely visit again. In addition, it was my husband's birthday, and they had a birthday surprise for him.

A disappointing 3-night stay at a supposedly 5-star hotel, with significant staff and service issues overshadowing the beautiful location and grounds. The reviewer regrets not opting for a local Airbnb and dining at local pubs instead.

Definitely not a Spa Break hotel
Lovely setting, gardens are great and great building. Few things spoilt it beinv great. The golf carts make a horrid whine when reversing. If you are in a front room is awefully disturbing. The swimming pool has the most noisey pumps and basically means you cannot relax so forget the spa experience. Pillows in our room were terrible. I asked for replacements of s different style snd got more of the same. Staff were friendly but seemed totally untrained in the posh restaurant. Both were new, didnt know what the food was and didnt tio up wine during either meal we hsd despite psssing our table lots and it not being busy. Food was good mainly though pricey as you would expect. Recommend the steak tartare delicious

Fantastic stately home with lovely gardens. We had the cheapest room on the third floor and it was fine. The evening meal was ok but not fantastic. There is plenty to do and must be a golfers paradise.
The ground floor rooms were magnificent

The property was gorgeous! The room was large and the bathroom updated. Staff were really helpful and the food was very good. It IS very remote so if you are going as a destination to really use the amenities-golf course, pool, spa, etc., it was great. We had hoped to use it as a base to travel out from but the roads were so narrow and rather treacherous getting in, we didn’t feel like driving back and forth to other locations in Devon and Cornwall, which was too bad.

A wonderful stay
Service and friendliness from the staff was top notch. Enjoyed the extra activities, spa and a drink in the chapel.

Great experience
One of the best hotels I’ve been to in the country. It was a truly 5 star experience.

Highly recommended

Lovely hotel! Surroundings and hotel itself are stunning. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Very dog friendly. The only downside is that food could be better especially breakfast!

We found the Bovee castle hotel, and surrounding grounds absolutely delightful! The staff were friendly and attentive, and there was an error of elegance through most of the facility. We were far less impressed however with the available dining in the bistro. While the staff were still friendly, the food was uninspiring bordering on mediocre. This restaurant lacked any of the field of elegance. The characterized the rest of the hotel and almost seemed not to fit. There's a second, far more elegant dining room, but that facility was not open, so we can't speak to it.

Possibly the best hotel we have every visited
The attention from the staff begins the moment you pull up to this wonderful, hidden gem in the Dartmoor countryside.
We had our two dogs with us and they were treated like royalty during our long weekend break in March.
The rain didn’t put us off long walks in the gardens, over to the local pub and also we found time for a spot of archery in the grounds.
The food is absolutely brilliant (and the dogs were allowed in the brasserie), the bar served top notch cocktails too.
We had a castle room and it was just perfect. Stunning views over the valley and everything you needed for a perfect nights sleep - as well as a lovely coffee and tea station for the morning.
The pool was lovely with steam room and sauna and also a stunning view through the glass into the grounds.
All in all - utterly faultless in every way.

Really lovely stay
Really enjoyed our brief stay at Bovey Castle. The location was fabulous, the staff were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. Didn't want to leave!
Jacobus
It is quite rare to be met with so much enthusiasm and friendliness from each and every member of staff during our stay. The hotel is in a lovely settling and oozes atmosphere and luxury. We particularly loved the pool where we could relax undisturbed. We had dinner in both restaurants and enjoyed the food (and service) very much.
All in all, every single aspect of our stay is rated 5 star; a superb experience!

Our recent experience with Bovey Castle was deeply disappointing. We had our reservation cancelled abruptly because we were bringing our cat, despite having no such issues in the past. The Deputy General Manager's handling of the situation lacked any personal communication or courtesy, leaving us feeling utterly disregarded as guests.
This incident raises serious concerns about the hotel's customer service. As a result, l urge fellow cat lovers and pet owners to reconsider patronizing this hotel. It's crucial to support establishments that value all their guests, including those with furry companions.
