Uncompromisingly smart yet totally unstuffy, Bovey Castle is a former stately home with an unrivalled choice of activities and indulgences for the whole family. The excellent facilities and activities include an 18-hole championship golf course, holistic spa, three restaurants, a supervised children’s club and playroom, tennis courts, a daily falconry display and so much more.

The cool country-house atmosphere is reflected in chic rooms and suites individually decorated in subdued colours. Oak-paneled drawing rooms are sublime spots for quiet moments or scrumptious cream teas. Total peace and quiet can be enjoyed in one of the garden lodges, perfect for families or long stays.

Spend your days enjoying everything from golf, archery and fly fishing to deer stalking, guided walks and cider and sloe gin making, while the children join the Bovey Rangers for pony trekking, egg collecting and even ferret racing.
