Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Wonderful
The staff - every one of them - were unbelievably friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We’ve stayed at Bovey before so know how breathtaking, beautiful and serene it is -oozing with charm and class. But it is the staff who make stays memorable, The receptionists, waiting staff - everyone contributed hugely to an enjoyable stay. The food was good and despite almost continuous rain - we throughly enjoyed our stay,
