Ilsington Country House Hotel & Spa

Lovely English country house with a beautiful garden located right on Dartmoor so it’s a great starting point for exploring the area (I explored by foot only). The highlight of the hotel is its elegant and luxurious spa. Fabulous breakfast served. Lovely dinner options at The Blue Tiger. Spacious room and very comfortable bed. I would happily return!

Anniversary weekend , first impressions, very nice , bar terrace was lovely . Check in all good , prompt and friendly , room was very nice a bit dated maybe but the bathroom and bed comfort was really good The tv you can stream channels from your phone great feature and also the sensor light in the bathroom saves putting the main light on waking everyone up! Had a meal on the first night was very nice no complaints . Breakfast was lovely no complaints. All in all a very nice two nights , also used the spa that was lovely , definitely worth a visit when you stay all in all a very nice stay , a bit pricey £410 for two nights , maybe that’s what you pay now .

My friend and I met at The Ilsington Hotel for a catch up and spa plus dinner and overnight stay! I had no expectations about the hotel in advance but I must say we absolutely fell in love with this delightful family run , wonderful friendly atmosphere. The three course dinner was the most delicious fine dining I had enjoyed for years, it was so tasty. The spa and massage were fantastic. You could relax in the gardens with a coffee or lunch and it felt like an escape from the real world. We also walked to Haytor nearby and enjoyed the fabulous beautiful Dartmoor views. There are many places to visit nearby. We will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

2 night stay in the middle of August. Ample parking, smooth check in process, up one floor in a small lift to our rather large room. Lovely decor and the fairly usual accompaniments found within the bathroom made for a welcoming experience. The bed was on the softer side for my liking but still comfortable to sleep on. The downside to the room was the lack of air conditioning. Overall a good room to pick. The grounds the hotel is situated are beautiful, during the sunny days we stayed there the building shone in all its glory with all staff members warm and welcoming. We visited the spa midway through our stay, we can’t comment on the treatments as we didn’t opt to have any this time round, the pool area was clean and well maintained. Now time for the showstopper. The in house dining experience at this establishment is nothing short of spectacular. Please make sure you plan and book at least one meal here, starting off in a lounge area just off of the main reception you’re given your menus, asked if you’d like some drinks and a small bowl of nibbles. It’s advisable to arrive in the lounge a little bit before the time you booked your table to allow you to make the most of the experience. Once ordered, you’re then escorted through to the dining room, which is well laid out and has an extraordinary view. Once at the table, enjoy the truly exquisite food! I apologise for not being able to single out individual members of staff, the staff we interacted with were incredible!

The spa area was excellent as was the friendliness of the staff. Unfortunately the rooms were very dated, signs of mould and cracks around windows and the furniture and bed needed replacing. The room which was a superior room needed refurbishing. and did not reflect the price paid. The situation was lovely as were the views.

The establishment is very well run by a team of friendly, kind, helpful and caring staff. The spa is a place you can easily spend a couple of hours relaxing and using the first class facilities. We had a pre-dinner drink in the lounge mulling over the menu before being shown into the dining room for a very lovely meal. We would certainly recommend it and hope to return in the future.

Very good service. Location on Darrmoor. Spa facilities. Walking distance to village. Views of Haytor and Dartmoor.

A really relaxing time, walking locally and then to the spa!

Absolutely amazing hotel! Superb staff, top rate service and the food was divine. Plus an onsite Spa to relax in after many walks in the surrounding area. From check in to check out we were made to feel special and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely spacious room, comfortable bed and good bathroom. Nice view too across the gardens. The main restaurant evening meals were exquisite, service absolutely perfect with sunset views towards Haytor Rocks. The Blue Tiger Inn evening meals were great too, sitting on the terrace! And the included breakfast on our B&B booking was equally fabulous, setting us up for those walks up to Haytor, Burrator Reservoir and Becky Falls. Ample parking. Special mention to Tom, impeccable service and David on the front desk for being so approachable and helpful. Also Mike and Holly for their service too. Nice to chat to James also, not realising who he was. All so good we extended our stay by 1 night as there was availability, that speaks volumes in itself! Thank you all at Ilsington Hotel & Spa for helping us make memories for our wedding anniversary stay. M&J Ps in room homemade flapjacks are amazing!

Friendly staff and amazing food. Nice swimming pool

The staff are friendly, the food is excellent and the spa is nice and new, however the hotel itself is very tired and dated and in dire need of a refurb, particularly given the prices

Ideal for a peaceful and relaxing time, excellent spa - clean and well maintaind, staff friendly, approachable and professional.

Wonderful hotel, cosy & clean. Great food, spa was lovely, the room was spacious & had a view of Haytor (when it wasn't misty). Staff really friendly. We loved it.

The rooms were very comfortable, as well as the lounges. The view from the dining room splendid. The food was first class but above all the staff were friendly, attentive and engaging. A superb stay - faultless

It was great to be able to use the spa facilities after a day's hike on Dartmoor. The food was excellent and bedrooms were a decent size.

Wonderful hotel, cosy & clean. Great food, spa was lovely, the room was spacious & had a view of Haytor (when it wasn't misty). Staff really friendly. We loved it.

Really lovely helpful staff. We paid for an upgrade as initial room was small with view of flat roof. Upgraded to suite for an extra £50 for one night but smelt musty and far too hot. Guy on the desk was so friendly and helpful I didn’t have the heart to complain again.

Staff were excellent. Couldn't do enough for you. Food was exquisite. Beautiful surroundings. Just a wonderful place to stay.

Fantastic location, excellent staff and couldn’t fault anything. Food was outstanding and would not be out of place in a Michelin star restaurant

Good location for countryside views, close to Hay Tor for excellent walking. The hotel has great facilities, nice lounges to relax after a walk and Spa for recovery or relaxation.

Location and hotel experience good . Local driving somewhat stressful

Easy access to the coast as well as the Dartmoors
