Nothing comes to mind

It’s a lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. The staff were courteous and professional and the food was first class. It doesn’t come cheap but we had a wonderful two days and hopefully we can return at some time to enjoy it again

The Dining rooms are small and can only fit 6 couples in each room.

A beautiful house with fantastic views

Cocktails are far too expensive, at £20 they are more than I’ve spent in 5 star hotels in London.

What a Beautiful setting!! lovely comfortable & clean room. The staff were so friendly & helpful.

We loved everything, the stream next to the house was a bit loud :)

It is one of the most beautiful building where a hotel can be! Stunning, breathtaking!

That we had left it for more than 30 years between visits. Such a shame!

The grand view of Gidleigh is that it is exceptional in every way, but it is the small things that really make the difference - the thermos jug of chilled water, the juiciest oranges and the most delicious dates in our room, all with a fine plate, knife and linen napkin. The meal of course far exceeded our expectations, every morsel was a sheer delight! My beef was the countryside on a plate and my wife's venison was autumn on a plate. We were completely blown away. Finally, the level of service was the epitome of what could be expected in a country hotel - there when you needed it, helpful and friendly but not obsequious. Staying at Gidleigh is like coming home to your dream home

Maybe during dinner it would’ve been nice to have music in the background

Everything, the staff, the hotel, the food, the room.

Everything! The grounds were lovely the hotel well kept and the atmosphere was instantly welcoming and relaxing. The outlaws thoroughly approved which was a gold star for me and my 7 year old daughter was made to feel so welcome. The level of service was the best we have experienced even higher than previous stays at the savoy and lanesborough in London which we didn’t think could be beaten! Food was delicious room comfortable we genuinely found it impossible to criticise anything!

The only thing we would say and it is not a “didn’t like” but more a suggestion - a bit more variety on the menu rather than the same menu for all day and perhaps changing up the soup each day. But the food we had was lovely. The road in was a little bit hairy scary - the hedge rows were so high and a very narrow single lane road - practice your reversing skills before you go.

The peace and quiet. Proximity to good walks. Spacious surroundings inside the manor house. The grounds are beautiful and we loved walking through the vegetable and water garden and along the river running through. The breakfast was very good, lots of choice. The home made biscuits were delicious with our tea. Nothing was too much trouble. We didn’t get a chance to play tennis but managed a game of golf on the mini 18 hole putting course. The staff were amazing. We had the most beautiful room overlooking the river and tennis court with a private balcony - loved it. The bathroom was amazing best wet room we have seen. It’s all the little things that Gidleigh Park have thought of that make this such a special place to stay.

Very good food, very sociable staff, comfortable room

Interior decoration could be more contemporary

A hotel of this standard should have freshly squeezed orange juice and better fruit salad. Home made bread at breakfast would also be a plus.

Superb location, beautiful room, exceptional service and food. We had a wonderful stay for a Birthday celebration. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious. Gidleigh has a beautiful setting and, weather permitting, always explore the extensive gardens and woodland.

The lane to the hotel was dreadful with large potholes and floods, you needed a big 4x4 to traverse it, which we didn’t have. Breakfast order wasn’t correct, but it was remedied though the eggs weren’t fully cooked.

The public areas and bedroom with the view over the garden were lovely. Even though it rained perpetually we still enjoyed our stay.
