    Good
    A pleasant but very expensive night away, in my opinion so attention to detail needs to be addressed to warrant the 5 st
    The hotel was charming in a lovely location. The restaurant and bistro were good the Great Western restaurant expensive as to be expected at a 5 star.
    The pool area for a 5 star hotel was in a bad decorative state the ceiling around the lounge area crumbling away at the edges, the sauna wood ceiling was dropping, the pool ok. The spa area is modern and pleasant but lacked a quiet relaxation area the only one was by the pool where you may experience screaming kids.

    Poor service, terrible housekeeping. More like a 3.5 star
    Lovely building and grounds.
    Reception check in was very slow and chaotic. Reservation for restaurant bookings mixed up. Dirty food trays left in corridors for hours. Generally slow service throughout the hotel (blamed on being fully booked and not enough staff) Would not rate as 5 star

    Great stay in a beautiful castle in the English countryside
    Beautiful castle in the Dartmoor countryside - dog friendly as well! Nice grounds and surrounded by a beautiful golf course. Parking onsite, 3 charging points available, 2 Tesla , 1 Tesla (for non Teslas). There are loads of activities to do every day which are really great and worth booking. The room was really nice, comfortable and clean. Same goes for the bathroom. Food was great throughout, we went to both the Great Western restaurant which is the fine dining option and the brassiere which is more casual. We also had the high tea which was great. There's a pool area with steam and regular sauna which are alright. We also went to the actual spa for some massages. Recommend! Overall a great, relaxing stay. The staff and service was excellent throughout. We will come back!
    Pool area could do with some renovation / TLC
