I recently had a birthday weekend at The Ilsington Country House Hotel, along with nine other female friends. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and even provided the library room for our exclusive use for dinner on the Saturday evening. The food and service was excellent.

Cosy, open fires, good views and reasonable pool, sauna etc. Handy for breaking the journey to Cornwall as well as for Devon stays. Food deserves its two rosettes. But.... having decided to eat in the lounge because one of my colleagues only wanted one... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights here. The hotel staff are a real asset, courteous, friendly & professional. It is owner-managed & has the feel of someone caring about it.
