Booked this for my mum who absolutely adored the trip to Bovey Castle. The breakfast and restaurant food was delicious and exceptionally made. The grounds are spectacular.

晚上7點多到達酒店,訂了兩間房,告訴衹有一間,且滿房,經多重協調,酒店在一個小時以後騰挪出來一間,經理帶到屋裡時解釋説是agent在他們系統上訂了不知道為什麼他們系統又取消了,酒店並沒有實質性上對我們做任何補償。 第二天一早,由於很晚才入住房間,跟前台兩次要求才從11點延遲到12點退房。 更甚,check out時告訴我 需要全款再付第二間我已經在攜程上付過的房費,否則不能走。 早餐及其難吃且幾乎沒有什麼可以選擇的,對於接近5000一晚的房費 我簡直無話可説。 現在多付的房費還沒有退還給我。 另到酒店的路很窄 需要小心駕駛

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.

Luxury stay We have had a great stay. Dinner lastnight in the Smiths Brasserie was superb and when we retired to the oak bar after we received great service there also. Off to the spa this morning for a detox.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
