Our stay at Bovey Castle was enchanting, with magnificent grounds and breathtaking views. The falconry experience was a highlight, as was the excellent service we received from Jon and Sarah, who were both approachable and keen to ensure our comfort. While our room was spacious and well-appointed, we did face some challenges during dining as the service felt rushed at times. Overall, it was a memorable getaway, especially for families, but the dining experience left us wanting a bit more.

Bovey Castle is a beautiful property with stunning architectural features and engaging children's activities that add a unique charm to the experience. However, the dining service is lacking, as the atmosphere in the Brasserie does not meet the 5-star expectations, and there are inconsistencies in the service quality. Though I enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the issues with cleanliness in the room and the dining experience made my stay less than ideal.
