My husband surprised me by booking an overnight stay for us both at Gidleigh Park this month to celebrate our 20th anniversary - what a treat! We had the most fabulous room with rose petals scattered everywhere, beautiful spa products in the bathroom and a bottle of bubbly on ice, with some delicious chocolates to whet our appetite and half...

We satyed 2 nights on a gourmet break. Hotel is in beautiful counrtyside, and is a gem. Our room was lovely, the staff wherever you met them were superb, from the waiters, housekeeping, and the gardeners. The food is wonderful and fully deserving of its 2 stars. The Wine list is amazing, but if like us you need help the... More

A return visit for lunch, and the food was exquisite as ever, as was the service and the ambience. We wandered round the gardens which are equally good. The house is just perfect, the country retreat of an Edwardian millionaire, or an Agatha Christie novel. Drinking coffee on the terrace takes you straight back to another era - but the... More

I don't often write reviews on tripadvisor, but Gidleigh park is certainly worth a stay. It is expensive but worth every penny for a genuine once in a lifetime experience of pure luxury. We've stayed in lots of highly reviewed places before, but here the staff were exceptional, really friendly, nothing was too much trouble and it really felt they... More

This is the second time we ave stayed here for a weekend gourmet break. This hotel has changed our whole outlook on eating out and fine dining. Like many people I have watched Masterchef and seen Michael Caines work and wondered what it would be like to eat his food. Well here you can stay in the most beautiful Arts... More

We cannot fault Gidleigh- we stayed for three nights in April and on arrival we were upgraded to the room we had stayed in the previous year, a very nice personal touch. The staff are friendly and always happy to help (they supplied us with some maps and tips for walks further afield). The food is outstanding and some of... More

We were fortunate to visit Gidleigh on the night of a Perrier Jouet dinner at which Michael Caines described in detail the components of each course. The food was stunning, as indeed was the Champagne. The following evening we returned to the normal a la carte fare, and it continues to impress. The grounds of Gidleigh are worth exploring, there...

from checking in to checking out it was an exceptional experience. whoever interviews and employs the staff has it down to a t, everyone has a smile, nothing is too much trouble, they are a credit to the hotel. the food is super, every course amazing, keep doing what you are doing its perfection.

We have just spent another night at Gidleigh Park, we thoroughly enjoyed our Black tie champagne evening. Wow, a superb six course meal , each course accompanied by a different champagne. I cannot enthuse enough regarding the service, the meal and the champagne. Our room was wonderful, with a lovely free standing bath that overlooked the fast flowing river ,... More
