Why we love it
The setting
Bovey Castle sits inside Dartmoor National Park, about a kilometre from the village of North Bovey in Devon. The manor house dates from the early 1900s and keeps its panelled corridors, big bay windows and open fireplaces. Grounds run out to moorland and rolling green hills, so the views from the rooms reach well past the gardens. It is roughly 29 km from Exeter International Airport, which makes the drive in straightforward.
What to expect
The Standard Double room comes with a full double bed and a private bathroom, and the rate is room only, so you can add breakfast or dinner when you book. Inside the house there is an indoor pool, a spa, a wood-panelled bar and a formal restaurant under chandeliers. Public rooms keep the country-house feel: deep armchairs, fireplaces and tall windows looking onto the park.
Things to do nearby
The hotel is surrounded by Dartmoor, so walking trails and open moor start close to the door. North Bovey village is about a kilometre away for a pint and a wander. A golf course sits within 3 km. For wider trips, Exeter International Airport is 28.9 km off and Plymouth Airport is 33.3 km, both within easy reach by car for a day out or onward travel.
Best for
Couples after a quiet two nights in the country, walkers who want Dartmoor on the doorstep, and anyone who likes a grand old manor with a pool, spa and proper dining.

Arrival and the manor
Arrive and settle into the Standard Double room, then take a slow look around the house: the drawing room, the panelled bar and the gardens. A short walk into the park before dinner sets the tone.
Dartmoor walk and spa
Spend the morning on a Dartmoor walk straight from the grounds, then come back for the indoor pool and spa. Round off with dinner in the restaurant before a last night in the room.
