Bovey Castle is a five-star castle hotel in 275 acres on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, with three indoor ceremony rooms, an outdoor Summerhouse, 60 bedrooms and 22 lodges.
Bovey Castle is a Tudor-revival manor of golden stone with origins in the early 1900s, set in 275 acres on the edge of Dartmoor National Park near North Bovey. Today it is a five-star castle hotel, entered through wrought-iron gates, with a dedicated wedding coordinator assigned from the day of booking. Couples can marry in the Adam Room, the Library or the Cathedral Room, each looking over the estate and the moor, or outdoors at the Summerhouse, approached along a lawned aisle between yew hedges.
The wedding breakfast is served in the Great Western, one of several dining rooms seating from 2 to 120, and the day continues with a castle reception and evening food. Smaller parties of 2 to 50 can use the Dartmoor Suite for the evening, and the whole hotel can be taken for exclusive use, with the public areas and 54 bedrooms given to one celebration. Guests stay in 60 bedrooms or in 22 self-catering lodges, and pets are welcome. The Elan Spa, a championship golf course and falconry fill the days either side. Exeter and the M5 are about 35 minutes away.

Review
Having worked in customer service as an educator it takes a lot for me to say the service was outstanding; all points were thought of in advance, we didn’t need to worry about any part of our 3 day stay with our families, as the team had everything covered in advance of us thinking about it.
