Monday 13th May 2024, My husband and I drove down to Devon. We drove into the village of Sandy Park, just outside Chagford, to go to ‘The Mill End’ Hotel, where we were booked in for four night’s dinner, bed and breakfast two hours later than we intended too due to the terrible rainy conditions on the way down, plus a detour due to an accident of the A350. We arrived at ‘The Mill End’ Hotel around 6.30pm. We were greeted by a very nice lady called Julia and was given a very warm welcome; we were staying in the ‘Bovey Room’. The ‘Bovey’ Room was situated on the first floor; all the rooms in the hotel were named after various rivers which flow through Devon. We were then shown to the ‘Bovey Room’. It was a large double room with a separate dressing area and a walk in shower room. There was a small sitting area with a chair and table. There was a beverage area with a kettle, bottled still water, a selection of drinks which included fruit teas, tea, and coffee and hot chocolate and complimentary shortbread cookie biscuits and lovely artwork on the walls. The furnishings were of a cream design in keeping with the ‘chic décor’ of the building. The bedroom was large and the décor was done out in a light creamy paintwork with cream furniture. We had a large ‘French Chic’ Bed in cream with white cotton sheets and duvet and a ‘Tabby Cat’ fur bed coverlet with gold brocade cushions and matching curtains at the window which overlooked the garden at the front of the hotel. We had a separate tiled en-suite bathroom that had a walk in shower and had lovely hot water, soft fluffy towels, complimentary ‘Temple Spa’ toiletries and white slippers. It was completely done out in soft beige and white with silver ‘Modern’ style bathroom fittings and a huge mirror. My husband and I unpacked and settled in. We then dressed for dinner. We then went downstairs downstairs into ‘The Lounge’ for pre-dinner drinks. My husband and I both had a Devon Mist cider with ice. Julia brought us the menus for us to peruse along with a dish of complimentary ‘sesame’ biscuits. The menu was full of interesting dishes for the diner to indulge in, all of the dishes I found wonderful, so it was quite hard to choose just one dish! Julia came to take our food and wine order, and she said she would come and take us into the restaurant when our food was ready for us. It was nice to sit and have a drink before dinner in lovely sumptuous surroundings. A little while later my husband and I were escorted into ‘The Mill End Restaurant’ at eight for dinner. The restaurant was lovely, light and airy and we were seated at a nice table for two. The table had lovely silver cutlery and bright shiny glassware and a lighted candle, which gave a romantic feel to our meal. A lovely waiter called Baxter waited on us all evening. Baxter had a really nice personality and nothing was too much for him and he was very professional in all that he did for us. My husband for his starter had cauliflower soup
