Mr Byatt
February 2019

“The lodge was as we’d remembered from before.”

Perhaps a little dated and tired.

Perhaps a little dated and tired. The cross over between hotel booking and via Helpful Holidays wasn’t clear ie no house keeping and no toiletries in the lodge. There was also no info pack so we had no instructions about emptying bins etc. Little point but obviously a little frustrating. We had to complain about the service in the Great Western hotel which was rediclously slow. M

Overall we had a wonderful time, however the lodge left a little to be desired , the overall cleanliness of the lodge was very poor with large areas of dust and grime, the flooring and sofas were poor with staining visible on both and small rips visible
Mr Miller April 2018

“The only problem was I needed to phone helpful holidays from the lodge and because there is no signal I had to use the phone in the Lodge.”

This was a little costly but I also ask the gentleman to call me back, he said he would. Therefore I waited yet he did not phone me back with a resolution to my problem. This was quite disappointing as I explained to him that there was no signal here and also it was approaching 5pm.

2 miles from North Bovey, in a lovely setting, is Bovey Castle, built in 1907 as a country seat for the heir to the WH Smith empire and now a luxury hotel.

Hidden in the grounds are 22 private, granite-built lodges of which we offer 10.

These smart, stylish, comfy lodges look over the Edwardian gardens, lake and tennis courts; parking is a 5 minute walk from the lodges (unloading/loading closer).

All the hotel facilities are yours to enjoy, including indoor heated swimming pool (65 x 19'6" x 4'6" deep; children welcome between 9am and 5.30pm when accompanied by an adult), gym, steam room, sauna, spa (beauty treatments) and restaurants.

Supervised playroom for children under 8 (extra, available school holidays and half-terms) with arts and crafts, egg collecting and ferrets; 8 to 14 year olds can join the Bovey Rangers (school holidays only, extra) for activities ranging from rock climbing to survival skills.

Optional activities for adults include archery, rifle shooting, fly fishing, falconry (daily display), riding, clay pigeon shooting and cider and sloe gin making.

Mountain bikes available, by arrangement (extra).

Wrapped around the hotel and lodges is a championship 18 hole golf course with driving range and pro shop; complimentary round (subject to availability, non-transferable) for all guests over 16.
