Ilsington Country House Hotel & Spa

We had a spa day at the Islington Hotel on the 8/2/26 , the spa facilities are great, we both had a massage, the consultant who gave me a massage was amazing, she was very professional and very friendly. We also had a meal included, which was suburb , we had roast striploin of beef , I have to say I haven't tasted beef like that for a very long time, it was very tender, the best I have had for a long time. The staff are also amazing, which is rare these days. I am sure we will be back again.

Staff very pleasant and helpful. Food excellent. Rained each day we stayed so glad to be able to use the swimming pool and spa. Bedoom very cosy and the hotel was furnished to a high standard.

The spa was excellent, staff helpful and friendly, beer kept well, all good

Lovely hotel and liked the room decor and furniture. Spa was fab and very clean. Friendly staff. Good breakfast with a view. Special mention for the bed and pillows which were very comfortable and the linen felt good quality.

Beautiful location. Great spa facilities. Very friendly staff and great food.

Friendly staff, comfortable rooms and lounging areas, lovely spa

Everything spa was fantastic, food was spot on, staff were really happy and helpful. Room was lovely too.

What a charming & lovely place, very clean & comfy rooms. Our bedroom had a lovely touch, as along side the tea & coffee facilities were some of the chefs freshly baked homemade flap jacks to enjoy!
The spa was great & had everything you would need & all our team enjoyed the facilities throughout our stay.
The food was superb & we ate in both restaurants while staying here.
Calum makes a mean cocktail!
All the Hotel staff, from reception, bar staff to the restaurant were exceptional! Happy, friendly & helpful, a credit to the Hotel.
All 14 of our work team had a super stay here & we would definitely recommend!

Great location for a relaxed break. There is quality dining with some unusual dishes beautifully presented. The spa is an added bonus.

No complaints whatsoever, only compliments - a practically perfect hotel in a fantastic location. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable and relaxing stay, great service, friendly staff and delicious food. Would definitely come again.

Simply a superb hotel with lovely staff and a brilliant location (the breakfast is really good as well)
We have stayed many times and looking forward to staying over the summer 2026. :)

A 2 night 'relax and recharge' stay which was on a DBB basis with full access to the spa and a 45 min treatment each. A welcome bottle of Prosecco in the room as part of the deal. The hotel stands on the edge of Dartmoor, just a 5 minute drive from the Haytor rocks and the open moor. Off of the main road it was very peaceful and quiet. The double room was reasonable sized but not large. The bathroom was large and well furnished with both bath and walk-in shower. Temperature was via a over door air-con unit which was a bit tricky to work (we asked for help) and took some time to reach the right temperature. Bathrobes to use when going to the spa were supplied. The bed was very comfy. Lunch (included with this break) and dinner were taken in the bar area (we had been told of this when we booked) . The dinner menu seemed a bit restricted (out of season) but the food was excellent and the staff helpful, friendly and attentive. Breakfast, which was served in the restaurant, with a wide range of cold items as well as freshly cooked hot selections.. There are 2-3 comfy lounges on the ground floor, with an open fire in at least one. The spa was excellent. It is open to non-residents but was not at all crowded when we stayed. There is a good sized pool, large jacuzzi pool with seating and lying jets and 2 fountains. The steam room and sauna were good with the option of a freezing drench shower between the two. We both had a 45 minute massage which was extremely good - very professional, relaxing and thorough. All the staff at the hotel were friendly , helpful and efficient. We both thoroughly enjoyed the visit and would go again. Its not cheap but is good value for money

My wife wife & I went for the Christmas Lunchtime Menu on Wednesday 10th December in The blue Tiger Bar. The food was delicious, every course was very tasty and fresh, had our coffee in one of their lounges afterwards. You feel so relaxed there within their wonderful surroundings inside & out , Staff are so polite and very helpful, if you've never been there then you are missing out! Highly recommend for any occasion.
We are both Looking forward to going back very soon.

Excellent midweek stay in December - - Ben Waters Rock and Roll Holiday - lovely spa, food and staff.

Honestly such an amazing stay. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond, the food is the best ever, the spa facilities are amazing

A real pleasure to stay here. A hidden gem providing first class service. Couldn’t fault it and looking forward to a future visit. Can recommend

Lovely location, staff were faultless and the hotel was well run. Brilliant food in two restaurants.
