Find a Wedding Venue in Newton Abbot

We came here for my boyfriends birthday and booked the winter spa break package with an overnight stay. I paid extra for the upgrade to a deluxe room with a sea view and balcony, it was worth every penny. The hotel is beautiful and has a classy feel to it, there are many places to enjoy the view whilst relaxing in one of the bars (which are pricey but you would expect that). We pre booked our treatments before arriving: A Facial and Head, Back and Shoulder Massage, both were fantastic. The rest of the spa facilities were lovely, including the jacuzzi and steam room; my only downfall was the changing rooms because they are in need of a facelift. The one shower is cold and dark, doesn’t look very inviting and the changing room itself is open plan, not everyone likes that. For lunch we tried the Red Pepper Soup and Eggs Benedict from the all day menu, both fairly priced and tasted amazing! The service was professional and what you would expect from a 4* hotel. Unfortunately, we could not say the same about the service in the restaurant for our evening meal. We were seated by the supervisor, who was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed, though the standard of service went down hill from there. The waiter appeared to lack experience of the job to be serving in a 4* hotel which was disappointing, we have received better customer service in chain restaurants. We had the pea soup for starters and the pork belly for mains, which were faultless and the creme brûlée for dessert that wasn’t so nice. The wait between each course was reasonable until we had completely finished our desserts. We sat and waited for 30 minutes, being unsuccessful in catching the waiters attention, so decided to get up and leave, this swiftly caught his eye. Finally, after mentioning on numerous occasions that it was my boyfriends birthday (on the arrival date) and requesting small things to make it special, I was disappointed that no efforts had been made to persue my requests. On the whole, the evening meal was good, but the service let the experience down. Breakfast the next morning was beautiful and a completely different experience to the evening before, the waitress was attentive and couldn’t have done anymore for us.

Huge selection of drinks…spoilt for choice with gins! Food was amazing as was the hospitality. Would highly recommend

Just a stunning place. So calm, relaxing and "natural". The yurts are cosy yet were more than big enough for my family (5 of us) and there's loads on site to keep adults and kids entertained for a weekend without having to go elsewhere. Plus good quality shower and washing facilities. All in all a great place at a great price.

Lovely place to go for food/drinks. The area is beautiful, the food is amazing and the place looks so lovely inside and out. One of my fav local restaurants. I hear they also manage rooms and weddings!
