Nice room, nice breakfast. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

Delightfully restored traditional farm house. Excellent breakfast. Very kind and friendly hosts

Great communication, we arrived late but made a plan with reception before hand. Hotel was quiet so room upgraded which was a nice suprise. Dog friendly, nice dog walk and good breakfast.

The reason I gave it a '1' is that we didn't actually stay here. I booked on-line and received confirmation of the booking. However the next day I received an email saying there had been a mistake - the hotel was full on that night so my booking was cancelled. Needless to say, I was not impressed.

Beautifully presented, a good choice of starters and main. Delicious!

A well-equipped clean room in a hotel which is full of character. We first stayed in this hotel over 40 years ago and in giving the rooms a fantastic make over it is great that much of the history of the building has been retained.

A lovely hotel beautifully restored and comfortable. Excellent service and friendly staff.

Whilst the premises are quite old the rooms were well furnished and very clean. There was a DVD player in the room and a wide selection of DVD's on the landing if you wanted to watch something. My two measures of a good room are a powerful shower and a comfy bed. This hotel passed both with flying colours. It was also a real pleasure to have fresh milk for tea/coffee instead of the usual UHT milk pots! I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel if you are looking for accommodation in Crediton and without a doubt we will stay here ourselves again when back in the area.

Home away from home. Totally accommodating staff, lovely bar and restaurant, great location, and historic building.

Everything! We were so sad to leave. We love travel so have stayed in some amazing hotels across the world (including other Relais & Chateaux properties), but after our stay at Gidleigh Park, we realized this might have been the BEST hotel ever - even including some very special Japanese ryokans. What made it so wonderful: - The staff were all so genuinely nice. We had a lot of odd requests (since I’m pregnant and my husband has very specific dietary preferences), and I’m sure they secretly thought we were total weirdos, but they did a great job covering this up - no request was too strange! Examples: 1.) my husband became addicted to Innocent smoothies during our stay in England and insisted on having some every day (…even in a Michelin-starred hotel), so they kept them in the fridge for us and brought out the bottles whenever he wanted to pour a glass; 2.) I went down each morning to have breakfast but my husband prefers to sleep in, so I would request a takeaway homemade croissant for him. This request alone wasn’t too bad perhaps, but the croissants were so good warmed up, so we would later request to have them warmed right before he ate them - which they kindly did… - The food is SUPERB - I could’ve eaten for weeks straight just at the casual lounge (we’d normally try the formal restaurant too, but saving this for next time when I have fewer pregnancy food restrictions, to fully enjoy!). Best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had, with perfectly poached golden-orange yolks (I’ve only ever seen such perfect eggs before in Japan), sumptuous afternoon tea, truffled cheese soufflé, really good strong pots of Earl Grey and Mini Pu Erh Cake (!) tea, amazing fresh fish and brothy beans… all in a cozy casual living room/conservatory setting where they let you open the patio doors, or sit outdoors (very nice if you’re being extra Covid-cautious while pregnant like me)!
