Gidleigh Park - Chagford

The food was excellent and beautifully presented. I highly recommend it!

A very special and romantic place worth visiting. everything from service to eating was from highest standard. the attentive and careful staff were fab, eating was delicious and fascinating. my partner enjoyed his vegetarian options on the tasting menu. the facility was well maintained to make them feel as if they are in a rustic, dated and totally enticing heart. we had been happy that we made our reservation on the day of our visit, but I would highly recommend booking well in advance, as a pre-booked taxi service is essential to along the charming winding and narrow roads.

We found the bar staff to be quite pretentious. When we arrived, we were seated in the lounge area but were completely ignored while other patrons were being served their food and drink orders. Eventually, we moved to the terrace and ordered drinks there. The waiter tried to push a £25 glass of white wine on us, but my partner sent it back and opted for a more reasonably priced £14 glass instead. The meal was quite expensive, totaling £125 for three courses, and my partner found his dish to be tasteless. He made sure to let the waiter know about this before we left.

A fantastic lunch experience at Gidleigh Park. As you might expect the food was faultless and the setting is truly stunning. Upon arrival we were welcomed into the lounge area, with beautiful views of Dartmoor and Gidleigh 's babbling brook. This set the scene for an afternoon of traditional, opulent fine dining. Service was a little leisurely at times, but we concluded that this was part of the 'experience ', which is best savoured in a relaxed fashion and shouldn 't be judged by city standards.
