Dartmoor National Park - Bovey Castle

Bovey Castle sits majestically high on the edge of the valley overlooking all that surrounds her, within 368 square miles of the Dartmoor National Park, Devon.

Below the beautifully restored Edwardian gardens, the Championship golf course meanders along the valley and the burbling river Bovey sparkles and glistens as it makes it way down from the high moor.

Dining is an integral part of the Bovey experience. The superb kitchen works its magic with fresh, local ingredients delivered daily from all over the area; fish from Brixham, lamb from Launceston and finest beef from Dartmoor cattle - creating superb dishes to delight you with an attention to detail to make them the best they can.

The Spa is a sanctuary tucked away from the bustle of modern life. Echoing the tranquility and therapeutic flow of the River Dart, bespoke spa experiences have been created to provide the ultimate in holistic relaxation, using the finest treatments and formulations from the unrivalled Elemis range.

Originally built as a private house and sporting estate, it exudes the elegance, luxury and the excitement of the 1920's. With 63 bedrooms and suites in the original castle, along with 22 outstanding three-bedroom luxury granite-built lodges, Bovey has a room style to suit everyone. Add to this bespoke bedding, tea & coffee making facilities, views over stunning landscaped gardens, a standard of luxury that sets Bovey ahead of the rest and you have the recipe for the perfect leisure break.

Bovey Castle has been awarded the Gold Award for Large Hotel of the Year from the South West Tourism Excellence Awards 2010-11 and features in the Condé Nast Traveller's Gold List 2011.
