Where do I start. I booked this hotel for my partners birthday and valentines day present based on…read morethe" mature couples " reviews and the awards it has won and it lived up to its hype. This is a family owned and run hotel 10 mins from the beach. All rooms are individual and well appointed. We arrived cold and hungry and was greeted by our host who booked us in and got us settled with the offer of a hot drink when we got into the lounge which sported comfortable seating small bar and widescreen telly. Due to the snow we were the only couple in on the first night as 4 people had cancelled. Our room was a small suite with a well appointed bathroom, lounge and bedroom with tea and coffee facilities with biscuits, comp toiletries, towels flannels and yes Thick toweling bath robes and chocolates. The hotel was spotless and well maintained. On our first morning we experienced one of the best breakfasts I had eaten in a long time as it is all cooked to order. before the main event we had a choice of 11 cereals, fruit segments, fruit juice and choice of breads.This set us up for the day ahead. free parking is available It deserves all the awards it has got and add to this the Man of the House grows some fantastic orchids and gave my partner a 10 minute lesson on where she was going wrong and what to do. Yes we will be going back sooner rather than later and it is real value for money and you get what it says on the tin So we hope you enjoy as much as we did..

Nice little bed and breakfast place. One of these old buildings where the stairs are narrow and the…read morefloor is far from straight. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. I got a room in the attic which was very cozy and felt more like a guest room in someone's house than a hotel room. Slight minus that the hot & cold water was in separate taps and the shower was hand-hold only. Though it ads charm, it also makes it feel a little dated. The breakfast was 5* and their restaurant is mentioned in the Michelin guide. That's definitely beyond the basic B&B food you'd expect. Another minus is that Wifi is an extra £8/day, but lots of hotels charge for that in Europe.

Well it was a treat! And I will say it was worth it. Expensive_ but memorable…read more Gidleigh Park definitely deserves its Michelin Stars unlike somewhere I have eaten in Exeter! Setting = Moorland edge Food = Crafted to a higher level Staff= Performed their tasks with precision _ I only drank water, as it was a long way to drive and I wasn't going to drink. Yet like magic just as my glass emptied, they would re-fill it. I have to say I drank my water glass dry many times as it was such fun watching them fill it up again! The food did taste special _ not only the taste, but the texture, goodness knows what sort of sieve they used to get things so smooth. And some of the dishes were feats of engineering. I think I was just enjoying being delighted. Another nice thing was I especially didn't dress up smartly just to see how the staff would behave towards me. And hats- off-to- them...they treated us exceptionally well; which inwardly made me giggle as we both were wearing our 'Star-Trek' T shirts that day. I would recommend going to Gidleigh which falls under the auspices of Michael Caines the chef and not the Cockney Actor (Sir Michael Caine). SAVE UP and go, just the once it is worth the trip, I promise! March 2010 We returned. Our Expectations were higher this year based on 2009. Somehow it does represent good value for money. Even today the impression they made on me is glowing! I would urge anyone to make an effort and get out to Chagford. Gidleigh is on my list of Top things to do for ultimate pleasure. January 2011 The food was highly enjoyable. It is still a worthwhile trip you will not be disappointed. See photos...

This is the ultimate escape…read more The manual to using this resort is extremely simple: get here by horse. Contact the hotel to arrange this. If you can't ride horses, a helicopter may be a good alternative. For those of us not reading the manual, remember that you'll be driving on 10 feet wide roads lined by thick, 600-years old oak hedges. They are enlisted cultural heritage and protected by UNESCO. In other words, it's exactly the same roads people used 600 years ago. Quite an experience. No matter what your GPS says, a car journey form Exeter will take you at least 3 hours. The hotel operates time slots for alternating directions of traffic - check your arrival time with them. If you are coming for dinner only, time planning is even more crucial. Quite rightly, the butler will simply not let you skip courses. They will be served in the intended order without exception. In the case of an 8-course dinner, expect it to last until 11 pm. Whether you arrive on a horse or dig your own tunnel, you haven't lived until you come here.

We had not been to the Monkton Court Hotel before so we thought we would try it as it has an excellent local reputation. We were certainly not disappointed. It is easy to find as it lies on the busy A30 East of Honiton. Access and car parking were also easy. Colin and Jenny the owners personally, cheerfully, welcomed us and as we sat, sipping, before the roaring fire we soon felt at home. The food, prepared by the talented and creative Joe the Chef, was sumptuous and exactly what we were hoping for. The 'A la Carte' menu had five or six choices for each course, the price for two courses being a very fair, but not 'budget', £28 and £36 for three courses. We chose a cheese soufflé starter then and fillet steak and 'Three Porks', followed by an exotic lemon cheesecake with sorbet mmm delicious ! Décor and ambience is stylish giving a warm feeling of genteel, country elegance without being pretentious. We even chose our own music. How's that for service ? We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and are hoping to take some friends to this excellent venue in the next few weeks.

The Premier Inn "experience" is one of comfortable rooms, quiet (no noisy slamming doors!) and with black out curtains. The result is a great night's sleep. The next day we enjoyed the hot buffet breakfast, featuring everything from sausages, hash browns and eggs to Porridge, Toast, Fruit, Crumpets and more. It was really tasty! The hotel is located directly on the sea front and a few minutes walk from town. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the hotel, and Premium Wi-Fi (to watch streaming movies, etc) is available for a reasonable £5 per day. I can't think of a single fault with our stay, and I'd happily stay here again!
