The lodge was well equipped and in a beautiful setting. We have been to Bovey castle before so new what to expect and it did not dissapoint There are a couple of things that I feel could be improved The kettle in the kitchen was not large enough for 6 people. It had to be refilled several times. It got quite cold in the evenings while we were there and we could not get the heating on. The gas fire was lovely but did not heat the large lounge. I feel these are small things that could be changed to make the experience even better.

“Incredibly beautiful relaxing holiday”

We have just got back from a fantastic weeks holiday staying in Jaystone Lodge in the grounds of Bovey Castle. What a a wonderful place, and what a fantastic relaxing week we had. The lodge was stunning, extremely well equipped and with the most amazing views of the lake and the grounds of Bovey Castle. We took our two teenage boys and our dog. The boys loved the facilities - they made use of the enormous pool every day, and the sauna, steam room and gym. They played snooker in the hotel, boules, mini golf and croquet. We even persuaded them to go on a hike to the nearest town We walked our dog in the beautiful grounds- he chased squirrels and rabbits - and jumped into the fishing lake once looking for fish! The hotel staff were excellent and went out of their way to make our holiday special. Nothing was too much trouble - any request was dealt with immediately with a smile - from supplying more dishwasher tablets, or dropping off a bottle of milk when we'd run out. We ate mostly in Smiths Brasserie - the food was excellent and the service was friendly and professional, always with a smile. There are lots of different bar areas in the hotel, all of them equally comfortable. An absolutely beautiful place - I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It was wonderful, and we will definitely be back.

The property

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 6.

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.

Outside are hard and grass tennis courts (lessons available), croquet lawn (seasonal) and children's climbing frame, trampoline, slide and swings.

Playroom for children under 8 (available school holidays and half-terms) with 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.

For something a little quieter, there's the 275 acre estate to roam (wellies provided).

If you don't feel like cooking, book a table at the hotel's restaurant or brasserie.
