Kentisbury Grange

The room (11) was clean and comfortable, restaurant food was good. Our bedroom window / blind was in the roof, the blind handle was 7'6" off the floor and needs replacing as not correct blind for opening (locks in position with screws, the window opener was slightly nearer but unable to operate (no winder), without standing on a chair. Housekeeping said it had been like this for many years. A senior staff member was poor at communicating and lacked customer service skills. Needs to be improved on both items. Would like to know what would happen in respect of insurance had we fallen whilst closing blind (over 70years old) or window? Currently not worth 4 stars.

This was our second visit, we stayed in the house first time,then this time we went for a cottage with a hot tub. Wow wow wow.. It was amazing, huge accommodation, the bathroom was tastefully done. The hot tub was fab, super warm and great view. Lovely soft robes and slippers.We had our evening meal in The Coach House restaurant, I can thoroughly recommend the Monk Fish with heritage tomatoes it was perfect. Breakfast was really tasty too. The gardens and outside bar area are beautiful. The staff were all very friendly if a little stretched at times. Fabulous experience, we will return.

After reading the reviews, we were very excited to be spending a night away by ourselves. Unfortunately there were a few little ******* which stopped the hotel getting a higher score. Firstly and probably most importantly, we had read good reviews about the Sunday roast, so we booked a table and went ahead with our lunchtime meal instead of something in the evening. I can only describe our roasts as bland at best and tasteless at worst. At £16 they are not the cheapest out there. The room was nice and clean and everything went well until the morning. My wife was in the walk in shower, which as she was washing her hair proceeded to flood out into the bathroom itself, thus causing a clean up operation instead of a leisurely shower. Then at breakfast, we were not asked whether we wanted any toast with my full English (with poached egg instead of the scrambled I had asked for). We sat and waited but no one came so we left toastless. A small thing but a disappointing end to our night away.

What a gem! I booked a cottage with an hot tub for an extra treat, the beginning of April for a birthday treat for my partner and myself. The room was amazing, very clean and well appointed, when making the book I mentioned it was our birthdays and housekeeping added a couple of extra treats to make us feel special, petals on the bed etc. There was a wonderful choice across the menus for all tastes and dietary requirements. Very good value and quality, food and service was superb, breakfast was excellent!! The location was good for getting to explore the area.

The staff are so very welcoming and laid back. the food is out of this world! Myself and my partner went for a night away just the 2 of us as a couple and I can honestly say I would highly recommend this place as a beautiful hidden gem! My partner said he enjoyed the best burger from the extensive beautiful menu that he had ever tried in 47 years!! The most beautiful surroundings and we had the pleasure of seeing baby ducklings on our doorstep! This place is a real gem! The food is 10/10. the best food ever! we shall be visiting again. our room was just gorgeous and so extremely clean!

Booked lodge 11 for a girly weekend & we were all very impressed. Lovely quiet location overlooking the lake. Hut tub was nice & kept private by nearby trees. Lovely facilities provided inside the lodge itself. Friendly hosts & breakfast in the main house was very reasonably priced for a final morning treat before the journey home. Great location to explore North Devon from.

We had a fabulous stay here. Stayed in the main house about 5 years ago but opted for a one bedroom cottage with hot tub this time and extremely glad we did as after a beautiful dinner we came back and relaxed under the moon and stars in it for a good half hour which was very relaxing and would us down nicely for a good nights sleep. The cottage is clean, comfortable, modern and incredibly well equipped. For dinner we had the chateaubriand for two which was as good as any we have had anywhere, staff in restaurant are super friendly without being intrusive. A couple of ******* would be that when we stayed some inconsiderate guests in another cottage close by felt it was acceptable to play loud music during the afternoon which ruined the experience of sitting outside in the sun reading and the check in and check out times are a bit mean with check in at 16.00 and check out at 10.00 although we did manage to negotiate check in at 14.00 for an extra £20. Overall a lovely stay in sublime surroundings minus DJ Tiesto smashing out the afternoon bars. Will definitely return here for a long weekend next year.

When we booked a short stay at Kentisbury Grange Hotel we weren't entirely sure what to expect. However, our experience exceeded all expectations. The friendly and considerate staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We decided to upgrade to an executive room, and it was a fantastic choice. The room was not only very comfortable but also well-appointed. The highlight was the freestanding bath with separate walk-in shower—a luxurious touch that added to our relaxation. The spaciousness of the room allowed us to unwind and enjoy our stay. In the morning, we were pleased to find a good selection of espresso and instant coffee and tea in the room, along with fresh milk provided in the fridge. well-stocked mini-bar was a pleasant surprise, as such amenities are becoming increasingly rare. While the hotel is tucked away in this often overlooked part of Devon, it offers a calm and peaceful retreat. Yet, it remains accessible to numerous local attractions that are must-sees when exploring North Devon. We left with a sense of contentment, and we're already planning our return. Kentisbury Grange Hotel truly is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

When we arrived, we were a bit early but the lovely member of staff seemed to always want to ensure we were satisfied. We chatted away with a smiley and polite barmaid and enjoyed a drink, she gave us some pointers as for where to visit and which way the beach was! We were shown to our cabin and were greeted by a massive bed, beautiful bathtub and big spacious shower area. We were both very happy and couldn't have expected anything more from a cabin, it was beautifully designed and we could have quite easily lived there, especially if we got to eat food like that every night. The restaurant was also designed really nicely and the tables had a decent amount of space between them, so there was no risk of being within earshot of other couples etc. The staff were tentative and professional. I'm not a great cook, all the more reason why I've tasted food at a lot of resteraunts, but this is up there. I had a steak... obviously. It was done to perfection. Way too often I ask for a rare steak and it's just not done right, but this was spot on, couldn't fault it. My partner had the chicken which she also could not fault. I rarely have room for pudding but we saw another table being served sticky toffee and that was enough persuasion. Once again, delicious. We then spent the evening with a glass of wine in the hot tub. All in all, we had a lovely time. Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting and we've already agreed that we'd like to try and go back once a year if we can.
