“Bovey Castle impresses with its beautiful setting and grand building, although some areas need attention, such as soundproofing from golf carts. While the dining at The Great Western Grill is superb, Smith's Brasserie seems out of place. I believe that its family-friendly vibe, combined with a rich history and the extensive grounds of Dartmoor National Park, makes it a good choice for those seeking outdoor activities and a luxurious spa experience.”

While the rooms were magnificent, I wish the restaurant met the high expectations set by the hotel's overall charm.
