The hotel and grounds itself are fantastic and beautiful. The rooms are spacious and great. The pool and playroom are good and great for children. I don’t think there should be a charge for the playroom though, that seems unfair considering the price of a family room. The reception staff were nice. The Smiths restaurant staff were slow, and the food was a let down. The pizzas were clearly packet pizza, the steak wasn’t great. The room service food was the same standard, very below average. We had room service for lunch and breakfast and we were disappointed. The telephone didn’t work very well, the room service phone line didn’t work during our entire stay, it just wouldn’t ring. We didn’t watch the tv much but when we did it kept turning off and said “no signal”. The food really let the stay down for us unfortunately, with a 5 star hotel you expect 5 star food.

Absolutely fabulous place with the most helpful professional and friendly staff we have ever experienced. One of our friends is disabled and the staff were fantastically helpful without requesting assistance but nevertheless not intrusive. The facilities and surroundings were breathtakingly wonderful. The lodge we stayed in was extremely comfortable with every need you could require. Excellent seems inadequate for our expectations it was a wonderful few days and experience.

Another visit which was fantastic. We had a suite room which was superb. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the Great Western dining room was excellent. The previous evening we ate in the brasserie and this was far from the best meal we have had in that restaurant. One of our party had the risotto with sun dried tomatoes, asparagus and topped with grilled sea bass. Very disappointing as they played hunt the asparagus, which appeared to actually be the bottom of the stalks. Very expensive for what it was. Wouldn’t choose that from the menu again

Really enjoyed our brief stay at Bovey Castle. The location was fabulous, the staff were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. Didn't want to leave!

Amazing experience! Lovely setting and great staff. Special shout out to Tia at reception for all her help, she was nothing short of an angel! Nothing was too much to ask and she even helped me book an afternoon tea! Will be coming back in the summer for another delightful stay.

What a wonderful experience at Bovey. A beautiful spacious rooms with twice daily housekeeping. The views are amazing from so many places within the hotel. The Great Western Room provided both a beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. We had the Dover Sole, fileted tableside and the Beef Wellington that was cooked to perfection. We did the off-road experience and the young lady who provided instruction was the perfect combination of patience and encouragement, for a right handed driver shifting with his left hand for the first time.

We came for one night to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We were not disappointed. From the moment we stepped foot on the gravel drive we were made to feel special. The Hotel is simply stunning! So much history & elegance. Our room was beautiful. It was the standard room but still special. The grounds were beautiful & we were lucky to have a glorious day. We had dinner in the smiths brasserie which was simple choice but delicious. We then sat in the main lounge with huge open fire & had a cocktail. Thank you Bovey for such a great stay. One day we will be back 🙏🏻

It is quite rare to be met with so much enthusiasm and friendliness from each and every member of staff during our stay. The hotel is in a lovely settling and oozes atmosphere and luxury. We particularly loved the pool where we could relax undisturbed. We had dinner in both restaurants and enjoyed the food (and service) very much.
All in all, every single aspect of our stay is rated 5 star; a superb experience!

Our recent experience with Bovey Castle was deeply disappointing. We had our reservation cancelled abruptly because we were bringing our cat, despite having no such issues in the past. The Deputy General Manager's handling of the situation lacked any personal communication or courtesy, leaving us feeling utterly disregarded as guests.
This incident raises serious concerns about the hotel's customer service. As a result, l urge fellow cat lovers and pet owners to reconsider patronizing this hotel. It's crucial to support establishments that value all their guests, including those with furry companions.
