The grounds were fantastic for walking our dog, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend. We would definitely go back. Weather wasn't great for the latter part of our stay but it didnt dampen our spirits. We ate at Smiths Brasserie a few nights and the food was outstanding and staff were lovely.

“All very good.”

The lack of mobile connection was a real problem.

Bovey castle has terrific pool facilities and grounds. The brasserie is worth a try and is casual. Virtually no phone network here but wi fi works. A few things need to be made clearer when booking through Sykes rather than direct. The hotel did not recognise the "complimentary" round of golf ( it's £49), there is no service to the cottages etc. It's still a great holiday but please make things clearer.

The lodge was tired and uncomfortable with a leaking shower, beds you couldn’t sleep in due to being so uncomfortable and unhelpful staff within the hotel. Which I question how it can be rather 5 star!! Despite paying over £2100 for the week we left 3days early I think that just about sums it up. On returning Skyes have be next to useless with our complaint so also won’t be using you again! Disgusted and disappointed at our treatment all round!

We love the mix of hotel facilities and our own house. Wonderful swimming pool, golf course and grounds for dog walking. The house was not quite so well equipped as usual (less cushions so the chairs were not so comfortable, no iron or ironing board and a baking tray that didn’t fit the oven). However, when we asked, the hotel delivered an iron straight away. I’m sure we will be back!

Mrs Sedgwick, July 2018
“The Lodge was beautifully clean and had everything you needed.”

The staff at Bovey Castle were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and the facilities were excellent.

Mrs Richardson, July 2018
“Bovey Castle was excellent in helping with everything we asked for.”

The Lodge was of excellent quality and very convenient for the main House etc.
