Having visited many country house hotels over the years I have decided that there are good ones and great ones, Gidleigh definitely comes into the latter category because lots of things come together to create a glorious travel experience. Location is superb. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds with the river Teign running through it. It’s also a great place to strike out and explore the wild scenery of Dartmoor with its rich cultural heritage. Reception will provide you with a free booklet giving details of where to go without even having to take your car out. Wining and Dining are a joy, as you would expect from a restaurant with a Michelin star. Bedrooms are well appointed with nice touches such as complimentary Madeira, breakfast tea and a daily newspaper. The public areas are wonderful for relaxation. But the jewel in the crown is the staff - nothing is too much trouble for them. Service in all settings is courteous, friendly and unrushed, making guests feel they have found a home from home. All in all the quintessential country house experience.
