The 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 14 private, granite-built lodges of which we offer 4. These smart, stylish, comfy properties overlook the Edwardian gardens, lake and tennis courts. All the hotel facilities are yours to enjoy, including indoor heated swimming pool (65’ x 19'6" x 4'6"deep), gym, steam room, sauna, spa (beauty treatments), restaurants and bistro. Outside are hard and grass tennis courts (lessons available), croquet lawn (seasonal) and cricket nets (late May-mid September).
Supervised play room for children under 8 (extra, available school holidays and half-terms) with arts and crafts, egg collecting and ferrets. Seven to 14 year olds can join the Bovey Rangers (school holidays only, extra) and enjoy activities ranging from rock climbing to survival skills, ending each day with high tea. Optional activities include archery, rifle shooting, fly fishing, falconry, riding, clay pigeon shooting, cider and sloe gin making and beekeeping! Wrapped around the hotel and lodges is a championship 18 hole golf course with driving range and pro shop. 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 or bistro. The friendly hotel staff will help you arrange any activities you wish. An exceptional place to stay. Wedding licence. Maid service.
