As it was my partners birthday, I decided to give her a treat, a champagne cream tea at Bovey Castle, surely that would impress as its five star? Well it turned out to be a giggle, infact a scream, considering the five star rating! I have to say before I go on, the food i.e. sandwiches, scones and cakes were... More

We have just returned from a bank holiday weekend break at this hotel and things have changed since last time we were here. The hotel is in a great location and great views, right on a golf course but don't worry if you don't play as there is a lot of other things to keep you interested .( and plenty... More

This was our first stay and hopefully not our last.

The playroom was an added bonus that I had not expected would be there and helped to keep our... More

We also used the spa while we were there and had the treatment... More

We stayed here for one night with a Travelzoo voucher. We had a lovely time and the setting really is idyllic. The staff were all brilliant and the pool area with large window was a particular highlight. but The sauna didn't work, some of the gym equipment was broken and all of it was dated, the restaurant got our steaks...
