Reviews for Bovey Castle

A memorable wedding anniversary in a stunning hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Sorry this review is a little late! We had the pleasure of celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary at Bovey Castle and certainly chose the right hotel – it is truly magnificent. From the moment we arrived for our five-night stay, we found the staff very courteous and the hotel and its surroundings are a sight to behold. Its location in the heart of Dartmoor National Park leads to a peaceful and tranquil stay. The gardens, walking areas, countryside and golf course are picturesque. We had a luxurious and relaxing stay and were treated to an upgrade to one of the hotel’s spacious Junior State suites, which had panoramic views across Dartmoor. The room and its facilities were quite simply out of this world and no stone had been left unturned to ensure we wanted for nothing. It is also very reasonably priced considering where it is and what’s on offer. Our room had a huge and comfortable bed, big wardrobes, sofa, tea and coffee, complimentary fizz for our anniversary and a bathroom which had both a bath and separate shower. Our Golden Retriever was made very welcome. We find some hotels can be dog-tolerant but Bovey Castle is most definitely dog-friendly. The seating and dining areas in the hotel were superb. We celebrated our anniversary by having dinner in the library. It was like having private dining with a dedicated waiter. The food is exceptional, both in the Great Western Grill, a magnificent restaurant, and Smith’s Brasserie, a more casual dining experience. Dogs are only permitted in Smith’s Brasserie but we were able to order off the Great Western Grill menu when eating in the library. General manager Dean Gunston and his staff all went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable 30th wedding anniversary, something we can cherish for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will certainly be paying a return visit in the near future. Thank you, Bovey Castle!

Wonderful country house hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This is a lovely country house hotel in the spectacular setting of Dartmoor National Park -- hard to imagine a more beautiful place for a hotel. The facilities are excellent, from well-appointed bedrooms to dramatic public spaces (which made me feel like I was in Downton Abbey) to a very good restaurant. My husband and I wished we could have stayed longer.

Go to Bovey Castle!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

I highly recommend Bovey castle - I went with a friend and the scenery was spectacular, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The scenery is picturesque, the castle itself is well kept, and North Bovey is a short nature walk away. We went clay pigeon shooting and like the rest of the staff, our instructor was friendly, had great energy and was very knowledgeable. The staff at front desk and our porter in particular were happy to help, give useful tips and chat - our porter (wish I remembered his name!) was fantastic. This place is beautiful - highly recommend - thanks all!

Despicable hotel service!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

We stayed at Bovey Castle 2 nights. The rooms were lovely. We had a stunning view of the golf course. The food was good. The public spaces are spectacular. Sitting in one of their public room was like going back in time, gorgeous. The issue I have is that I left items in the room. I called the same day we checked out to ask them to please call me so they can overnight the items to our current hotel while we were still in England. The woman at the front desk said she would pas on the information and someone would call me back within 24 hours. I received no phone call and it’s been 1 week, I have sent an e-mail daily, no response. I have never stayed at a hotel, especially a 5 star hotel with such horrible customer service. Just know if you leave an item in your room at Bovey Castle, plan on never seeing it again! Despicable service….shame on them!
