We have been here before (some years ago) and it was very nice to be back. The hotel building is very fine and it sits in beautiful grounds. The bar staff were friendly and chatty. If we had concerns I would say that our evening meal was rather ordinary and the breakfast service was slow. I hope though that we will be able to return some day.

Stayed in a lodge during August 24, family of four. Fine for a cheap air bnb but no way a five star experience. lodge accommodation was well past its best and in need of reinvestment. Dated decor and furniture. Curtains falling off, dirty net curtain with holes in, old school dirty and broken Venetian blinds, stale cigarette smoke, very limited equipment for cooking, tiny tv with a dvd player, said there was chrome cast but didn’t work despite asking. Whole lodge was uncomfortably hot as hot water boilers on all the time, but yet the towel rads couldn’t be turned on so wet towels. Cleaners come twice a week - so in a 7 night stay they came day 3 and then final day - what’s the point? In short just lots and lots and of small things that led to a feeling of disappointment, especially at £650 a night. Pool has seen better days and was rammed - not manned so kids just doing what they want. Only went once despite it being what the kids wanted to do most. Both restaurants hugely disappointing especially given sky high prices. Poor service and poor food which features in many other reviews. Nice areas to relax in throughout the hotel, but staff impossible to find to get drinks etc. Complained to the team onsite who were kind enough to offer some money off, but still disappointing and feel I’ve wasted money. The archery and falconry were great, albeit expensive, but very good experience with brilliant people running them which was one saving grace. Avoid.

This is our 3rd time at Bovey & never disappoints. We stayed at the lodges on this occasion as we were travelling as a group. The lodges are lovely & spacious and equipped with everything needed. The grounds are impressive & lots of onsite activities to entertain the whole family. The hotel team are extremely helpful & friendly and make each stay memorable. Always sad to leave but we will return.

Excellent place for a weekend or mid-week getaway. Lots of walks in woods and along river; dog friendly. Swimming pool, tennis, croquet, boule and a huge golf course. There are many other (paid) pursuits, i.e. archery, air rifles, off road driving and even falconry. It is an historic country house hotel with comfortable rooms, quiet corners and two restaurants with bars. Also family lodges in the tree area beside the main building.

This is a beautiful place and a wonderful setting and the levels of service were significantly better than when I stayed here a couple of years ago as they have clearly staffed up since then. Couple of irritating things - £25 to use the EV charger - ridiculous, breakfast is still a bit of a shambles organisationally and you pay £28 a head for this privilege !
