Bovey Castle is a throwback to the grandiose extravagance of the 1920s with the charm and opulence of that time retained through striking period furnishings and decoration. The luxury accommodation is divided between 64 bedrooms and 14 luxury lodges while the estate includes an 18 hole championship golf course event and conference facilities the UKs flagship SUNDARI spa and one of the most extensive selections of activities for all ages. Accommodation in the hotel includes Single Classic and Castle bedrooms each designed for single occupancy or short breaks. The larger and more deluxe Superior Castle and Valley Castle rooms promise spectacular views of the surrounding national park and hotel estate with the River Bovey meandering through the golf course. Each suite at Bovey Castle boasts a unique layout with superior size bedrooms spacious bathrooms and uninterrupted views of the valley courtyard or first tee of the golf course. Our Junior State Family State and Grand State suites are all beautifully-appointed and finished to the highest standards of luxury and comfort. The resort team aim to ensure that our guests have everything they need to fully enjoy their stay at Bovey Castle. From lazy thrills such as making cider and sloe gin or archery to high-octane thrills such as clay pigeon shooting and quad biking. During school holidays Bovey Rangers keeps the 7-14 years olds busy with different daily activities and for the younger children the Playroom is available. Using and giving back to local food producers is integral to Bovey Castle with ingredients sourced from the moorland and coastline to create seasonally changing menus in two restaurants The Edwardian Grill and Castle Bistro. The quintessentially English affair that is afternoon tea retains its ceremonial glamour best enjoyed from the panoramic window seats in the Cathedral Room and Adam Room.Show More

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 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!

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.

Very nice hotel with lots of good activities. The food was good and the hotel itself very nice. The only comments I would make was the service was pretty terrible in the bar and lounge area, slow not too friendly and I had to ask 3 times where my order was, no real apology. The spa is nice but the pool area very dated.
