Reviews for Bovey Castle
3 nights with the mrs
Fabulous location and accommodation. Stayed for 3 nights with my wife in the main building (vallwy room). Very nice room with separate bathroom. Downstairs restaurant ( the main one and the bistro) were very good to good, don't sit near the window in the bistro, you might feel the cold from outside. Very friendly staff and with various rooms with fireplaces to chill out, either before or after dinner. We had three great days.

Great staff.........shame about the general manager!
Had recent 2 day stay to escape the rigours of senior management in the retail industry. In a nutshell, 5* location/staff and food but................ just happened to be browsing outside the shop when we heard someone publicly lambast an employee from inside the shop. We had to giggle when hearing that this person was being criticised for walking around the hotel with a Lidl bag to carry PAT testing equipment and was told to go and get a Bovey Castle bag!! We then saw, who we can only assume was the painter and decorator leave the shop with his head between his tail, poor chap. We then saw a suited gentleman leave the shop, who we later discovered was the General Manager!! I am baffled as to how this interaction could possibly motivate a member of staff? Can only assume he was having a bad hair day!? I don't suppose the P&D later got an apology, as this behaviour should not happen in public. Just left a bitter taste to what was an otherwise great stay.

A Perfect Stay
We spent one night at Bovey Castle as part of their Midweek Fireside Retreat deal. As there was availability we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a Valley Room (48). The room was very spacious with nice views over the golf course and valley beyond. Safe, TV, Nespresso machine, kettle, fridge, bath, shower, robs, slippers, wardrobe. Free wifi throughout. We ate dinner at Great Western Grill. Whilst it is expensive the food is excellent quality. Breakfast was very good too. Loads of hot options and extensive buffet. It is served between 0730 and 1030. The pool opens at 0700. The staff were attentive and friendly. We were made to feel very welcome throughout our stay. The grounds are extensive and loads of places to walk. Overall and excellent stay and hotel.

If you wonder what it would be like to stay in an English Manor House, this more than met expectations.
Even though this hotel is called a "castle"--It is more like a large manor house. More like a great manor house than a cqstle with turrets, etc. the lush green grounds are a golf course. large separate bathroom. large bedroom. only possible con was that there was no thermostat (because the property is old) the temp. was very even. The windows function, a fan was present in the room air needed and in-room radiator for heating. Neither was needed. The restaurant delicious; probably the best buffet in terms of food quality I've eaten at in a decade. the Mac and cheese with truffle you could actually taste the truffle. service exceeded expectations. beautiful woodwork throughout; paneling, staircase, furniture with carved trim paneled walls. I would love to come and stay here again.
