Bovey Castle Hotel is an imposing Edwardian mansion, converted to a lavish country house hotel near the village of Moretonhampstead in the Dartmoor National Park. It is one of Devon’s, if not the UK’s, most elegant hotels, and captures the imagination like no other. Set in its own extensive grounds amidst the brood, melancholy splendour of Dartmoor, Bovey Castle Hotel is the perfect destination for those looking to leave behind the vexations of everyday life and retire awhile to a place of calm and relaxation, whilst only being a short drive from the South Devon city of Exeter.

Built for Viscount Hambleden - the son of affluent businessman WH Smith – for his private residence in 1906, the Bovey Castle Dartmoor was crafted with no expense spared or corners cut. It is apt, then, that its renovation and transformation to a country house hotel one century later should similarly be an exercise in grand design and bold statement, with the very highest quality fixtures and fittings used throughout. A somewhat eclectic melting pot of styles, Bovey Castle’s remarkable interior draws on influences from medieval, art deco, post-modern and Victorian schools of thought. The result is a hotel with a unique and charming, if slightly eccentric, character.

There have been no shortcuts taken when it comes to facilities at Bovey Castle Hotel. The hotel’s 65 rooms are sumptuous and beautifully appointed, each with its own unique design and thoughtful touches. There is also a highly commended restaurant, in which a menu of sublime dishes is presented and served in elegant surroundings and, as with many of the most sought-after countryside retreats these days, there is a veritable wealth of leisure and spa facilities. Dartmoor’s Bovey Castle Hotel features a challenging 18-hole golf course, which was designed as a sister to the esteemed Gleneagles and Turnberry championship courses. The hotel’s spa offers a host of health and beauty treatments to allow you to indulge yourself and drift away. Add to this a seemingly endless list of outdoor pursuits such as archery, fishing, and clay pigeon shooting, and you have a very impressive package for luxury leisure breaks, set off by the dramatic and beautiful surroundings of Dartmoor.
