Relaxing in comfort.

A beautiful hotel set in lovely gardens on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Very good standard of food. The classic room we stayed in was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Perfect for a relaxing break once you have negotiated the 1.5 mile single track road to the hotel!

Magnificent, slightly remote hotel.

Lovely place in a quite remote location. Final approach is 2 miles of very narrow twisting road. Once arrived the welcome is second to none and service is first rate. Beautiful hotel with magnificent views provided you have a room situated in the front overlooking the gardens and river. Sadly the weather was quite wet but still managed to do some walking around the extensive grounds between heavy showers. Breakfast was very good and dinner excellent with limited but interesting choices and many additional extras. We recommend this hotel very highly.

Our stay at Gidleigh Park was extraordinary. I had never experienced the level of service offered or the professionalism of the staff. We felt welcomed and cared for as individuals. The meals were outstanding. I’m so glad I chose to stay there for part of our trip to England’s southwest, but every place after was a bit of a let down.

Fantastic weekend

Stayed over weekend for wife’s birthday and also for our first year wedding anniversary.

The service was fantastic, the food incredible and the hotel itself was in impeccable condition.

Couldn’t fault anything the whole weekend. If I could afford to go there every year I wouldn’t have a second thought about booking it!

Beautiful property. Room was very spacious , clean $ comfortable. Food was excellent at both dinner & lunch. Had a very pleasant one night stay although expensive but we knew that. The only thing bothered us was dog barking in the night . There was a dog staying right next door but don’t know if same dog. Would stay again but probably upstairs.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location

Gorgeous hotel in a stunning location in the Dartmoors (Chagford is a great little town too). Staff were all very welcoming and friendly and it was an incredibly relaxing stay. The only criticism I have is very minor and is that the restaurant service was a tad slow and a bit overpriced but we still had an excellent meal. I would definitely go back again!

Beautiful place but weak wifi

Very upscale and beautiful place but lacking in some respects for such a high end lodging. For example, the wifi was quite weak despite the fact that we stayed midweek and the hotel was far from full. Also there was no one to help us with our luggage to the car when we checked out. The grounds and property were very beautiful, and our welcome was very warm, plus they upgraded our room which was very nice. Except for the man who checked us out (who was not very friendly), the rest of the service was excellent.
