5* historic manor house in Dartmoor National Park
Bovey Castle, Devon
Property details
A Five Red Star, historic stay with plentiful activities and three AA Rosette-awarded restaurant in Dartmoor National Park - includes breakfast, optional food credit and more
Accommodation
In a scenic valley on the edge of Dartmoor, Bovey Castle is a fantastic monument to turn-of-the-century grandeur. The palatial manor house's design is executed in Elizabethan style and offers an insight into the bygone lifestyle of English Lords and Ladies. Gazing out over the great, rugged bracken-covered wilderness of Dartmoor beyond there's a sense of immense scale.
High ornate ceilings and vast panoramic windows provide the setting for taking in the landscape views, perhaps over a spot of similarly expansive afternoon tea. Elsewhere you've a brasserie for pub food and a cosy atmosphere, as well as a fine dining restaurant offering sophisticated, three AA Rosette-awarded fare. This AA Five Red Star hotel also offers a tranquil spa with a wide array of individually tailored treatments, to perfectly complement the peace the area exudes; head to the stunning Art Deco swimming pool for lovely views out over the terrace and River Bovey.
Castle rooms are plush and large in size, and offer an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower plus views over the courtyard and woodland beyond; opt for a Valley room for spectacular valley vistas. All the guest rooms have been recently refurbished and the decor is classically elegant, with luxurious furniture and individual wall decorations.
Amenities:
- Flatscreen TV
- Hairdryer
- Tea-making facilities
- Nespresso coffee machine
- Wi-Fi access
- Fluffy bathrobes and slippers
- Fridge
