Relaxing in comfort.
Pros:

A beautiful hotel set in lovely gardens on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Very good standard of food. The classic room we stayed in was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Perfect for a relaxing break once you have negotiated the 1.5 mile single track road to the hotel!

Such a charming, magical place!
Pros:

We had the most magical stay and really got away from it all. In our 10km walk from the hotel we saw two standing stone circles.

Pros:

Gorgeous setting and lovely hotel. Very quiet when we were there which in many ways was excellent but at times it felt too quiet.

The food was absolutely amazing and everything we ate was wonderful from afternoon tea to dinner to breakfast,

Magnificent, slightly remote hotel.
Pros:

Lovely place in a quite remote location. Final approach is 2 miles of very narrow twisting road. Once arrived the welcome is second to none and service is first rate. Beautiful hotel with magnificent views provided you have a room situated in the front overlooking the gardens and river. Sadly the weather was quite wet but still managed to do some walking around the extensive grounds between heavy showers. Breakfast was very good and dinner excellent with limited but interesting choices and many additional extras. We recommend this hotel very highly.

Pros:

Our stay at Gidleigh Park was extraordinary. I had never experienced the level of service offered or the professionalism of the staff. We felt welcomed and cared for as individuals. The meals were outstanding. I’m so glad I chose to stay there for part of our trip to England’s southwest, but every place after was a bit of a let down.

Fantastic weekend
Pros:

Stayed over weekend for wife’s birthday and also for our first year wedding anniversary.

The service was fantastic, the food incredible and the hotel itself was in impeccable condition.

Couldn’t fault anything the whole weekend. If I could afford to go there every year I wouldn’t have a second thought about booking it!
