This is simply a wonderful country house hotel. Its location, just below Dartmoor and with the River Teign meandering through the grounds, is beautiful, and the levels of comfort and hospitality are impeccable.  …

We booked the Gourmet Getaway; 2 days of amazing food, rest and relaxation. The meals were fabulously presented by the team, with each course explained to enable us to better appreciate the mix of flavours. Art on a plate.  …

We have just spent another relaxing night at Gidleigh. The level of service that you receive at Gidleigh from the reception staff, housekeeping to the restaurant is above and beyond anywhere else we have stayed at.  …

We had our amazing "just the two of us" wedding at Gidleigh Park - and booking the venue was the best decision I have made since actually saying " yes" to the proposal. …

As someone who used to work in a Michelin star restaurant I was thoroughly impressed. The service was absolutely incredible - staff knew us on arrival and were well versed in dietary requirements (me being coeliac).The rooms have been done up to an incredible standard and the drinks served were lovely.As for the food, we couldn’t fault a single thing we were served - the dessert was without doubt the best but we would absolutely return for another special occasion.If in doubt, you must visit!

Took my girlfriend here for one night and asked her to marry me (thankfully she said yes). The hotel is absolutely stunning. Started the trip with a champagne picnic which we had on the grounds, everything was perfect, come with a blanket for the ground and had very tasty treats in the lunch. Stayed in a room with its own jacuzzi on the roof which was amazing at the end of the night sitting in the jacuzzi looking up at the stars. The room itself was very pretty , we had chocolates and an alcoholic beverage (very tasty) in the room upon arrival.The main meal in the evening was out of this world but one of the best things about the hotel was the staff, they made the whole stay amazing they are so friendly and helpful. Will be coming back.
