Disliked: Staff & service
On arriving at our room for our ruby wedding anniversary we thought there might be an upgrade but no. Also there was a very noisy family with a crying baby that did wake us on 2 occasions during the first night. We did ask to be moved but were told that we would need to pay an extra £100 per night as they had no more classic rooms. On checking the website there was more classic rooms available and also castle rooms at an extra £40 per night. This was not offered. Our first nights meal was £134 approximately and we shared a starter and then had a lamb stew with boiled potatoes and beef short ribs with undercooked fondant potatoes and a small spoonful of cauliflower cheese. Plus a bottle of wine. We know it’s just a brasserie but overpriced with 12.5% service charge. We have been to Bovey many times and feel it is no longer a 5* hotel and has gone downhill.

Food was lovely. Breakfast varied with hot options cooked to order. Dinners at both restaurants very nice but overpriced for what they are. Service very good across the hotel. Cleanliness very good in all parts of hotel. Spa treatments were amazing using TempleSpa products. Lovely grounds. Swimming pool cold and whirlpool area not heated.
