SPA & Country Club
SPA AND COUNTRY CLUB
Moorland View is a beautiful walk, or three-minute drive, to the beautiful 275-acre estate of Bovey Castle, where you can sign up for spa days, activities and dine in their two wonderful restaurants.
SPA & GYM
Treatments at the castle's five-star Elan spa include hot-stone massages, anti-ageing facials, aromatherapy massages and his-and-hers massages. The hotel's gym is stocked with a full range of Precor, cardiovascular and strength equipment. Booking essential. Spa days costs £30 per person, per day.
POOL, SAUNA & STEAM ROOM
Housed in the Orangery, the hotel’s indoor Art Deco swimming pool gives way to beautiful views of the estate and Dartmoor National Park. In summer, there are loungers outside for sunbathing. The pool has a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Lockers and towels are available in the changing rooms.
CROQUET
There's a lovely lakeside croquet pitch with use of mallets and hoops.
FOOD & DRINK
The silver-service Great Western restaurant is dazzlingly glamorous, and the food wows too. The more casual Smith’s Brasserie serves pub favourites and the Cathedral Room and sunny terrace are fabulous spots for a traditional afternoon tea. Head to the cosy cocktail bar for a romantic evening tipple. Discount on food and drink: 15%.
GOLF
Bovey Castle's challenging 18-hole championship golf course is one the UK's best. Designed in 1926 by J F Abercromby, one of the finest British golf course designers, it rivals its sister courses at Gleneagles and Turnberry. There's a fully-equipped club house, driving range and golf academy. Green fees: £75 per person. Booking essential.
ACTIVITIES
Activities include an off-road driving experience, deer park tour, clay pigeon shooting, air rifle shooting, archery and sloe-gin making.
