January 2025I’m overjoyed to have weddings booked at the magnificent Bovey Castle in 2025 and 2026. This five-star venue, set in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, offers an unparalleled combination of luxury, grandeur, and breathtaking scenery. The castle’s opulent interiors, sweeping staircases, and stunning grounds provide endless opportunities for truly spectacular wedding photography. I’ve read so many glowing reviews about the exceptional team at Bovey Castle, and I’m looking forward to capturing timeless moments for my couples at this extraordinary venue.

February 2025What an amazing place, the castle is breath taking and the grounds are gorgeous. The food is amazing from sandwiches in the lounge to the dinner in smiths and the gorgeous breakfast in the greatwestern dining room. The team at Bovey clearly love the castle and are super friendly and helpful. highlight was the off road driving experience with Matt - he was a great instructor and it really was a once in a lifetime experience. We would love to return one day, I bet it is a beautiful at Christmas.

February 2025What an incredible place! We visited for a night away and I just we’d had longer there. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, set in beautiful surroundings but the overall vibe and the service are what makes it. For a 5 star spot it’s the perfect balance of luxury but still very laid back and not stuffy or snooty in the slightest. The rooms are beautiful and cosy and have everything you could need. There’s so much to do-we swam in the pool, walked the grounds and even caught a surprise falconry display. Excellent cocktails and food too-honestly couldn’t fault it and can’t wait to go back.

January 2025We have just returned from a stay at Bovey Castle over the Christmas holidays and had a wonderful and relaxing experience as always. This is a such a beautiful hotel and we have always found the staff to be professional, friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Chairman's Suite which was beautiful. It was spacious and quiet with stunning views of the ground. One suggestion I would make is for the main bathroom to be redesigned as there is too much empty space and the bath is not particularly comfortable nor does it have anywhere nearby to place shower gels or shampoos on. However, the rest of the rooms are well decorated, comfortable and warm, and there is plenty of space for everyone. Dinner at the Great Western Hotel was incredibly good. It's expensive but we felt it was a special enough experience to justify this. I had an enjoyable experience at the spa with Daisy as my therapist and Kelly was incredibly helpful in tracking down my husband's lost swimming trunks at the pool reception! We didn't have to wait long at the bar for drinks to be served and dinner at the Brasserie was lovely on both occasions. There was a good atmosphere, the staff were attentive and the food was very good. The shop is also rather lovely with a good array of clothing and boots. On a final note, the whole hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas! It gave a luxurious, festive and welcoming feel to our stay which we loved. Thank you!
