About this property

... 2 miles from North Bovey in a lovely setting is Bovey Castle, built in 1907 as a country seat for the heir to the WH Smith empire and now a renowned hotel. Carefully hidden in the grounds are 22 private, granite-built lodges of which we offer 8. These smart, stylish, comfy properties overlook the Edwardian gardens, lake and tennis courts; parking is a 5 minute walk from the lodges (unloading/loading closer). All the hotel facilities are yours to enjoy, including indoor heated swimming pool (65’ x 19'6" x 4'6" deep; no children before 9.30am or after 5.30pm), gym, steam room, sauna, spa (beauty treatments) and restaurant. Outside are hard and grass tennis courts (lessons available), croquet lawn (seasonal) and trampoline.

Supervised playroom for children under 8 (extra, available school holidays and half-terms) with arts and crafts, egg collecting and ferrets. Eight to 14 year olds can join the Bovey Rangers (school holidays only, extra) and enjoy activities ranging from rock climbing to survival skills. Optional activities for adults include archery, rifle shooting, fly fishing, falconry (daily display), riding, clay pigeon shooting and cider and sloe gin making. Mountain bikes for hire. Wrapped around the hotel and lodges is a championship 18 hole golf course with driving range and pro shop; complimentary round (subject to availability, non-transferable) for all guests over 16. If you’d rather something a little quieter, roam the 400 acre estate (wellies provided). If you don’t feel like cooking, order a restaurant meal or pizza to be delivered to your lodge, or, for a special occasion, book a table at the hotel’s restaurant. The friendly hotel staff will help you arrange any activities you wish. Restricted use of hotel and children's facilities from 24 to 27 December and 31 December to 1 January (pool, spa and golf still available). An exceptional place to stay. Wedding licence. Maid service available (extra). Spring water. Arrival after 4pm.

  • Holidaymaker

    "Beautiful location with well maintained grounds. Comfortable and well equipped lodges with the option of eating in the hotel when needed. Expensive but good."

  • Holidaymaker

    "Haytor Lodge is lovely place to spend a week with your family. Very comfortably furnished, it provides a great starting point for all the activities both within the Bovey Castle grounds and those a little further afield. The kitchen is well equipped so you can cater for yourselves, but if you want to eat out there are plenty of great places - The Rock Inn at Haytor Vale, The Ring of Bells in North Bovey - within easy driving distance."

  • Fiona Symonds

    "We had the most fantastic week at Bovey Castle. We stayed in Haytor Lodge, which was superb. Everything during our weeks stay was perfect. Exceptional service from all of the staff, including housekeeping, reception, and the maintenance man who rectified a problem with the television within minutes of us reporting the fault.The grounds were stunning, and we even had the bonus of snow which made the surroundings look magical. Myself, my husband and Charlie our dog will definitely recommend Helpful Holidays and Bovey Lodges to others, and look forward to staying again in the future. Thank you to everyone."
