The property is beautiful. The rooms are very nice. Food could do with a bit of improvement, especially cream tea and also in the fine dining restaurant. They were very overpriced, £20 per head for cream tea, and about £190 for two people in the fine dining restaurant. Much better value in the brasserie. The gym was adequate, but perhaps could do with some additional equipment. Unfortunately there is no mobile coverage so you will be stuck using fixed line if you have to use the phone. The cost of this could be much cheaper considering you don't have any other choice.

Excellent quality hotel

Location: Nice (short) walks on the site itself; only stayed one night so didn't explore very widely
Very high quality hotel - quite highly priced too though but no complaints about staff or cleanliness. There was some refurbishment work going on while we were there so not all the amenities were available but that was the only slight negative

Preis / Leistung stimmt für mich nicht. Habe von diesem 5 - Sterne Hotel mehr erwartet, Der Wellness- sowie der Fitnessbereich haben max 3-4 Sterne verdient.

Sehr schönes Schloss zum träumen und Abschalten

Pros: Die Einrichtung und die Lage
Cons: Badezimmer erneuern es ist in die Jahre gekommen
Location: Dartmoor
Wir waren eine Nacht da aber wir kommen wieder, die Preise sind angemessen. Ein Erlebniss für jeden Schlossliebhaber der einmal König sein will. Besuch in der Haupsaison nicht zu empfehlen ...
