About
The five AA red star Bovey Castle is history, excitement, glamour and adventure, holding an unrivalled position within a 275-acre estate on Dartmoor National Park. Where else can you wear your Hunter Wellies at 8am, Golf Spikes at 3pm and Manolo Blahniks for dinner. But while we offer our guests luxury and indulgence, this is not a stuffy hotel where you can’t sit on the furniture or let your kids enjoy themselves.
With the hotel’s luxury accommodation divided between 60 recently refurbished, uniquely- appointed rooms and 22 lodges, the estate includes an 18 hole championship golf course, two restaurants - Smith’s Brasserie and the 3AA Rosette Great Western, event and conference facilities, an Elan spa with ESPA products and one of the most extensive selections of activities to be found at any hotel, including off road driving experience, cider and sloe gin making, archery, tennis, falconry and fishing. Bovey Castle is a place where you can live out your dreams, then put your feet up.
Using local food producers is integral to Bovey Castle, with ingredients sourced from the moorland and coastline to create seasonally changing menus in Smith’s Brasserie and in The Great Western, overseen by head chef Mark Budd. The quintessentially English affair that is afternoon tea retains its ceremonial glamour through its evolving choice of delicacies, enjoyed in the art deco surroundings of the Great Western restaurant or in the warmer months enjoyed on the terrace.
With accessible links to every major transport network, including a high-speed service from London Paddington and flights between London City and Exeter, Bovey Castle is the unrivalled location for any number of occasions, be it a family get together, sporting holiday, romantic escape or corporate retreat.
