On arriving at our room for our ruby wedding anniversary we thought there might be an upgrade but no. Also there was a very noisy family with a crying baby that did wake us on 2 occasions during the first night. We did ask to be moved but were told that we would need to pay an extra £100 per night as they had no more classic rooms. On checking the website there was more classic rooms available and also castle rooms at an extra £40 per night. This was not offered. Our first nights meal was £134 approximately and we shared a starter and then had a lamb stew with boiled potatoes and beef short ribs with undercooked fondant potatoes and a small spoonful of cauliflower cheese. Plus a bottle of wine. We know it’s just a brasserie but overpriced with 12.5% service charge. We have been to Bovey many times and feel it is no longer a 5* hotel and has gone downhill.
