North Dorset District Cheap Holidays

Characterful property, though the most interesting downstairs spaces didnt seem to have much function - it felt like they were a corridor to the restaurant. We were in a modern ground floor room - pleasant but some fittings looked a bit tired. There was no aircon. We were charged almost £100 for dinner for 2 (without wine). Food ok but not special - i was not even offered a bread roll with my soup. Most other diners seemed to be families with rather noisy children - overall it felt somewhere between fine dining and a holiday camp. At check in i was pressed to book and pay for breakfast, which i did. Next morning i was told by restaurant staff that they had no record of my booking

Loved the location and quirkiness of the hotel. Staff excellent - friendly, attentive, respectful and efficient. Room was good and bed comfortable; only small drawback was lack of air conditioning on one of the hottest nights of the year!! And no prior notice of the add on charge for parking. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment about the food offer.

Nice place , only spent one night as going on a cruise. So didn’t have the opportunity to use the spa facilities. Good breakfast, would stay again.

Beautiful surroundings, beautiful Manor house, but rooms very ‘tired’, dogs allowed in restaurant and were actually sitting on the dining chairs or being fed with items from breakfast bar, very slow service at dinner, more than an hour wait, drinks billed incorrectly, couldn’t assist with taxi bookings, unsatisfactory level of cleanliness and upkeep of hotel.

The room was dusty, and its had cobweb by the television.

Lovely property, very clean , welcoming, stunning freshly cooked breakfast, Easy walking to the beach. Very accommodating, would definitely recommend and would without a doubt will stay again.

The breakfast menu was tasty for both of us. The room was clean and beautiful decorated, the bed was comfy. Everything was excellent, the proprietors were very helpful and gave a warm welcome to everyone.

Bovey Castle is an outstanding experience. Service is second to none.

Great hotel and friendly staff. Only a few things which were minor - room was downstairs and the window was right next to some outdoor seating, so would have been very noisy on a busy afternoon/evening. Had dinner (burger) which was tasty. Unfortunately the bar and outdoor area overlook the pool so we decided against a swim and opted to pay the £15 for the spa visit instead! Parking ok but £10 per 24 hrs so could add up for a longer stay. EV charger would be handy. Room was serviced even though we didn't leave the sign out which was nice but unnecessary (changed our towels even though left on the radiator). Slept well though and it was a spacious room with good shower. Thanks!

A lovely property, David and pumpkin were very welcoming. The only thing we wern't too keen on was the breakfast arrangment, we would have preferred a cooked breakfast.
