I recently held a surprise birthday party for my husband at The Ilsington and had the most fantastic evening From the start of planning the party to the event itself I found the staff helpful, caring and professional. The food is superb and all the facilities that we used were spotless The hotel is set in beautiful surrondings and is... more

Have just returned from a lovely weekend stay. The location as others have said is fantastic with the best parts of the Moor easily accessible albeit by careful navigation of some very narrow country lanes. Meals were every bit as good as anyone could hope for. Plenty of choice for breakfast and a high quality and imaginative dinner menu using... more

Great location/view - hotel building good/interesting but thought very overpriced for what it was. Couple of real problems: Carpet was literally black with greasy looking dirt in our bedroom, all over the room - never seen anything like it even at cheaper hotels or b&b's - no alternative rooms free so had to put up with it. If something that... more

A comfortable hotel with excellent food and a leisure centre let down by money grabbing tactics. Cosy, open fires, good views and reasonable pool, sauna etc. Handy for breaking the journey to Cornwall as well as for Devon stays. Food deserves its two rosettes.

We have stayed in a lot of luxury hotels as well as eating at excellent... more

I have just spent two days at this hotel. The setting is fantastic, just on the edge of Dartmoor, with views of the rolling Devon Countryside at both the front and back of the hotel. There is a well equipped indoor pool and health suite, which is usually very quiet. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly in all areas... more

This was the 2nd time we stayed at the Ilsington. After the first visit, we vowed to return very soon, and we did! 3 months later in fact! The hotel is in such a wonderful location. It looks out across rolling countryside, and to the rear, the dartmoor hills. The rooms are of adequate standard. At the end of the... more
