Gidleigh Park is amongst the most highly rated small luxury hotels in England, and certainly the most highly rated in the South West. Gidleigh has just won Hotel of the Year in the Enjoy England Awards 2009.
The house is set in 107 acres of magnificent, secluded gardens and woodland on the North Teign River, within the heart of Dartmoor National Park. Public rooms and bedrooms are individually furnished with antiques and fine English fabrics. There is a log fire burning every day of the year, and cut flowers brighten every room.
The Tudor style house was originally built as a grand residential home in 1928, and became a hotel in 1977 with 14 bedrooms and 2 dining rooms. This was how the hotel stayed until its closing for refurbishment in January 2006. Since the refurbishments were completed in December 2006 the hotel now has 24 bedrooms and 3 dining rooms.
The restaurant itself is considered one of the finest in the country, and holds 2 Michelin stars. The newly refurbished Gidleigh Park now has three beautiful dining rooms, with one of them incorporating a wine wall. The restaurants wine list is regarded as one of the best in the country.
Since 1994, critically acclaimed Executive Head Chef Michael Caines MBE has been at the helm of the Kitchen at Gidleigh Park, where he and his dedicated team of professionals, strive to create the dishes which have earned him his two Michelin stars, with influences from British and Mediterranean cuisine, and using only the finest of local produce.
