Family of 5 enjoyed an excellent stay at The Ilsington Country House Hotel this November, the level of service was unbelievable, it's nice to go into a hotel to be greeted by people who are (A) Enjoying what they do for a living and (B) English. Beds, linens, bathrooms and amenities all top quality, and what a location just on... more

We were left a little dissapointed following our stay. We primarily chose the hotel because of it's Rosette award status for the restaurant. The food on the first night was very good and each course was at the standard expected. The 2nd night however did not mirror the first night and proved very inconsistent. The main meals on the menu... more

Been here several times and it never fails to hit the mark. The food is great but above all the staff really make it special. more

The food was excellent along with the service. Would definitely... more

We attended the resturant for a meal and the food was fantastic. There was a good chioce for all 3 courses and the service was excellent. Staff were proffessional and also friendly. We will certainly be visiting again. more

Have just returned from a superb weekend away. Weather was terrible but the location more than made up for it. Excellent evening meal, great restaurant with fantastic views. Swimming pool a bonus and very welcome given the weather! Rooms very comfortable and a great breakfast. Would recommend. more

The location, just south of Haytor Vale, is charming and secluded (not the easiest to find). However, what the drive in builds up, the property gives away. The 'superior' room we were given had an old musty smell with dated decor and a bathroom which was 2 star at best. Lunch was decent but cost us GBP 30 for a... more
