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!

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.

This short stay was our first time to this area of England which was a beautiful area. Although we have friends in Dawlish, we had never been to the Newton Abbot Area. This hotel was the the ideal size for me, not too big with pleasant friendly staff.Our room was well appointed and the only addition I would lik e was to add a heated towel rail in the bathroom. The Staff explained that the rails were part of the central heating system and to heat mine would mean that the whole hotel was heated. I agrreed with this but feel sure there is a way around this. I have heated rails at home which are on the seperate hot water system, other people have electrically powered rails. This would mean that wet towels would be easily dried in time for the next use and the bathroom would be warm We had a very short stay to attend a wedding in the area, and would very much like to have a few more more days to explore the area, so hopefully we will be back .

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Very enjoyable 3 day break at this lovely spa hotel in the shadow of Dartmoor. Spa facilities were excellent and not too busy whem we went. Croquet lawn out front and tennis courts in the village. 10 mins to Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracy if you want to eat out.
