Gorgeous setting and lovely hotel. Very quiet when we were there which in many ways was excellent but at times it felt too quiet.
The food was absolutely amazing and everything we ate was wonderful from afternoon tea to dinner to breakfast,
Two night mini break. Kind team members who were all vety passionate about looking after guests. A contented place to spend a few days. Lovely area to explore.
Lovely place in a quite remote location. Final approach is 2 miles of very narrow twisting road. Once arrived the welcome is second to none and service is first rate. Beautiful hotel with magnificent views provided you have a room situated in the front overlooking the gardens and river. Sadly the weather was quite wet but still managed to do some walking around the extensive grounds between heavy showers. Breakfast was very good and dinner excellent with limited but interesting choices and many additional extras. We recommend this hotel very highly.
Our stay at Gidleigh Park was extraordinary. I had never experienced the level of service offered or the professionalism of the staff. We felt welcomed and cared for as individuals. The meals were outstanding. I’m so glad I chose to stay there for part of our trip to England’s southwest, but every place after was a bit of a let down.
Truly a five star experience and one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. Gorgeous setting, amazing food, bespoke and truly personalized service. I will absolutely be back.
