Reviews for Bovey Castle
Fine Castle-Estate Hotel with Golf Course and Other Amenities
This estate style hotel is a nice destination surrounded by a large parkland, Dartmoor. The estate itself has a beautiful golf course which I wish I had been able to play. Terrain, elevation changes, slopes, streams and ponds, clever traps and greens. The castle itself is nicely done and has lots of authentic wear and tear. The main restaurant is sophisticated with a terrific menu. Food preparation and service are excellent. A second casual more modern restaurant is a nice contrast. Our room was large with lots of well loved velvet covered furniture.

Beautiful location
The ‘castle’ is set in the beautiful Devon countryside with wonderful scenery and some lovely walks nearby. The walk to North Bovey village along the river was beautiful and peaceful. A range of outdoor activities are available to book. Archery and rifle shooting were good fun. The off road landrover experience is ok if you’ve never done anything like it before but pretty tame if you know what you’re doing. There is also a beautiful golf course. Our room was spacious although hot and the windows only opened a little way so hard to control the temperature. It had all amenities required including a safe and coffee machine.The robes were nice and soft and the bed very comfortable. Excellent rain shower and bath in the bathroom and nice toiletries. Service and staff ranged from exceptional to off hand. No consistency over the weekend and despite writing down our breakfast order on the first morning both meals turned up wrong. The second morning everything was perfect. The food is very expensive and whilst it was good it wasn’t exceptional considering the price and was a bit disappointing.

50th birthday
I chose Bovey Castle for my 50th as the staff are so helpful and friendly. They made me feel really special. Highly recommend.

Perfect location to explore Dartmoor National Park
Very relaxing stay in the woods, feeling like the lord of the manor. In general room and service were good, however the restaurant staff could use better training and more interest for their guests wishes, considering the price tag of this hotel.
