Excellent
Excellent mini break that provided all the relaxation we needed. The staff could not have been more welcoming and compete with the setting in making Bovey Castle a place we will return to many times now we have discovered it. Sloe gin was wonderful as well!

Thank you again for all the staff they were brilliant I just like to say we couldn't find a better place to stay for 25th wedding anniversary and really could enjoy ourselves once again thank you
Very close to 10/10.
From the moment of dealing with OPL (Sophia) I /we were very confident that Bovey Castle was going to be a special treat & that it would deliver on all the reviews that I had read. Sophia has now made 3 high end bookings for us & I would highly recommend her on her attention to detail & her professionalism.
As for Bovey Castle we were greeted by a gentleman in tweed & plus 4's at the drop off point & he kindly took our luggage out of the car & offed valet parking at no extra cost. when checking in we were very pleasantly surprised to get told that we had been upgraded. We had booked I mid range priced room but got upgraded to a grand castle suit. WOW!!!! What a room(20) everything about the room was quality, you had to be verging on a weight lifter to open & close the curtains. the bed was super comfortable, the seating area very spacious & a bathroom to die for. As for the view from the window 10/10. I played the golf course twice & I give it 8.75/9 out of 10. no blow you away holes but all very nice & the condition was 10/10. The only down point for us was the service in the fine dinning restaurant was not quite there, as in no attention to detail. Had to ask 2 - 3 times same question a few times. whilst the staff in the restaurant were very pleasant they are just missing a bit of high end training in my opinion. overall I would give it 8.75/9 out of 10.

How to get here
Bovey Castle is situated in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park, in the heart of Devon. The hotel is easy to locate, just 45 minutes drive from Exeter International Airport and 40 minutes from Exeter St David's Station. Arrive in style and arrange for one of the hotel cars to collect you.
By car
The M4 from London, the M6 from the North West and the M1/M42 from the North East all link up to the M5, which will bring you south to Devon.
From the M5, take junction 31 signposted A30 Okehampton. Stay on the A30 for 16 miles, exiting at Whiddon Down and the junction signposted Moretonhampstead A382. The road passes a service station with a garage on the right, at the first roundabout turn left, still following signs for Moretonhampstead A382.
Stay on the A382 for 5.5 miles and at the roundabout just before Moretonhampstead, turn right to follow signs for Postbridge and Princetown, marked B3212. At the mini roundabout, go straight over and at the next roundabout, turn right again and follow signs for Postbridge and Princetown, B3212.
Stay on the B3212 for approximately 1.5 miles, Bovey Castle is on the left-hand side marked by large wrought iron gates and a lodge. If you are using SatNav, please enter 'Bovey Castle Golf Course.'

Location & Local Attractions
There is so much to do at Bovey with its own activities, you must try and make time for the local attractions like the Becky Falls Woodland Park which is only 15mins away and has been welcoming visitors since 1903. It has been voted Devon's top beauty spot and one of WWF's amazing family days out - with the breathtaking waterfalls and baby meerkats it is definitely worth a visit.
The Rock Gardens, Caves and Nursery are set in the old Palace Quarry where the parkland has been landscaped by Capability Brown. With views over Dartmoor and caves to explore it includes the rare maidenhair tree (Ginkgo Biloba) and is under a 10 minute drive away.
The hotel is situated in Dartmoor National Park which is a unique attraction with the most magnificent views and walks all on the doorstep.
