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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Pros:

**Cons:**
1. **Staff Issues:**
- Poor handling of a taxi request on the wedding day
- Difficulty in ordering a coffee, with multiple redirections
- Breakfast order incomplete and of low quality
- Staff member's uniform was untidy and dirty
- Incorrect billing for lounge drinks
- Unhelpful footman with valet parking and map directions
- Missed 6am wake-up call
- Incomplete service with Welly boots request

2. Decor and Maintenance:
- Tired decor with scuffed wallpaper, stained floors, and wobbly sink taps
- Communal dining areas also appear worn

Overall Experience:
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.

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.

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.

There is plenty of space to relax at Bovey, from numerous lounges, seating areas, a bar, two terraces, and two restaurants. There is a lovely spa and a large swimming pool with a jacuzzi one end and a sauna.

All staff were happy and polite and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had no long wait times for our food (we ate in both restaurants) and waiters regularly attended the terrace areas to take drink/food orders, though you can order directly from the bar if you wish.

We have stayed at Bovey several times and enjoyed each occasion and will be returning.

Unique castle history and architecture. Poor dining service and rooms that need renovation.

What an amazing place to stay. Every staff member we went was friendly and helpful. The food in both restaurants was fabulous. Very romantic place. Highly recommend.
