My wife and I have just spent a wonderful 3 days at Gidleigh Park. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds with splendid gardens and the water garden is particularly impressive, The North Teign river tumbles across rocks along the bottom of the lawns and there is a spectacular 18 hole putting course designed by Peter Alliss with water hazards,... more

Fantasic Food ,Service and Location This was quality all the way. In a splendid location and the 45 acre grounds are superb. The staff are excellent and could not do enough to make you feel welcome. The General Manager Sue invited us into the kitchen and this was a real experience for us. We were also taken down to have... more

Had been aware of this hotel for many years and Michael Caines I knew to be a well regarded chef but we were knocked out by the setting up this very long narrow lane and whilst we were there didnt leave the place. Although it was a cloudy February when we stayed on our wedding anniversary the grounds and setting... more

We have just returned home from a 2 night stay at Gidleigh. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a master suite with sauna which was lovely although it did not have a view. The food was very good and we very much enjoyed the whole experience. The weather was even good enough for us to walk from the... more

We have just returned from a three night stay at Gidleigh and found it to be everything for which we had hoped. From the moment we were greeted at the door to the time we left the staff were superb and nothing was too much trouble (even sourcing soya milk on Sunday when they had run out!) Our room was... more

I booked this as a birthday treat for my wife (shipped out the kids for the night!) she loves her food and so I looked for the best restaurant I could find within easy reach of barnstaple and this was it. As soon as she realised where it was a huge smile appeared and we weren't disappointed in any aspect... more

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night in the Manaton room between Christmas and New Year. The hotel is rather isolated but followed instructions we’d been given and found it with no problems. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas with roaring log fires and a lovely welcoming atmosphere. We were quickly shown to our room by a... more

Gidleigh Park was outstanding before the refurbishment. Unfortunately things seem to have changed. The food is nothing like it used to be and service is no way near as personal as it was, as they are so busy now (not the fault of the waitors though, they try their best!). It seems its all about business now rather than a... more

Stayed with my partner as a birthday treat - and what a treat this place is. I have known of Gidleigh for many years but have never had the opportunity of going before - regardless of cost, it will now become a regular occurrence. From the moment you arrive the feeling of peaceful tranquility is all around. We had the... more
