Simply wonderful visit
The staff are amazing, every service is with a smile. First thing i would suggest you do is order fresh milk to your room - arrives in 5 minutes with a smile and a nod. The spa is a little basic although fully functional and very relaxing. The spa beauticians are first rate - i highly recommend an exfoliating facial!! The bar is well stocked and the chefs are first rate. The meal just kept getting better. The desert is very cheese centric... with a handful of non-cheese deserts available. We only tried the icecreams and sorbets and sadly they were nothing special. Treat yourself to a breakfast in bed during your stay. Order everthing as the portions are small. The staff are all very courteous, respectful and are desperate to ensure that you have a pleasurable experience. Im already planning my next visit.

We return to Bowood time and time again.
We were upgraded to a balcony room with views of the practice green - and there was a bottle of prosecco waiting for us too! We absolutely love Bowood and have returned time and time again. We’ll continue to do so! Lovely, clean rooms with huge comfy beds and really nice, generous bathrooms; fantastic customer service; delicious food and great for kids with the pool and the free entry to Bowood House and Gardens. Highly recommended.

We received a very warm welcome and a complimentary upgrade to a beautiful suite. The spa was very clean and peaceful and the view over the golf course was breathtaking. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant. We needed a quite break and this location was perfect. Being able to walk around the estate and explore Bowood House for free was an added bonus. All in all an excellent stay.

Absolutely amazing . Faultless
I stay approximately 200 nights a year in hotels and this was without doubt the best hotel experience I have had, everything about the hotel was incredible. The attention to detail was beyond all expectations . Definitely a team that the owners should be proud of . I can not recommend this hotel highly enough To add, the restaurant was fantastic and the atmosphere was relaxed but with an air real quality when it came to the environment and the food

An excellent place to relax and explore the country side. Staff were friendly and helpful, there were a few issues with things in the room, broken remote/ironing board/tap, but they were fixed immediately! would 100% recommend for a relaxing spa weekend, I am not a golfer but perfect if you are. Would come back again!
