Christian, BelgiumOur stay at Bovey for Christmas 2024 was just outstanding! The welcome, food, staff and surroundings were really great, and made for a memorable holiday!
Lynn, United KingdomWe had a marvellous Christmas break. Staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, in fact we never saw anything but smiles and goodwill. The hotel Itself, as always, wonderful and the kitchen surpassed themselves! We also appreciated all the little touches from the stocking on Christmas morning to the champagne cocktails Completely recommend
