Stayed here quite a while ago, but have been meaning to leave a review as we enjoyed our stay so much!
Our room was lovely, one of their deluxe rooms, which was very comfortable with a great modern bathroom with bath and big shower!
Service was excellent, the staff are very attentive.
Our dinner was one of the best meals we have had, the food was perfect and was accompanied by a very nice wine which was well recommended by a member of staff.
The hotel is set in a lovely location, and it was an all round excellent experience!

We had a wonderful family party at the hotel which included overnight stays and a drinks reception, dinner and after dinner drinks. The planning by the staff was excellent, the whole evening of the party went really well and the food as always was fantastic. Every one of the twenty guests commented on the excellent quality of the food and the efficiency of the staff. The ambience in the hotel is lovely and the service is at a level that very few hotels can achieve.

I spent one night here with my husband to celebrate his birthday. Hotel staff were welcoming. Furnishings are traditional in public rooms. All very comfy. Our room rather quaintly had cane furniture.
Dinner was delicious - an extensive and interesting menu. The dining room is fairly formal, but had a pleasant atmosphere.
Breakfast was disappointingly average.

A trip to The Ilsington every November has become a traditional birthday present to myself! The location is great for getting onto Dartmoor, with views of Haytor Rocks from the dining room, weather permitting. After a days walking it's so relaxing to go for a swim or just lounge in the jacuzzi or sauna. Then it's time to get ready for the pre-dinner drinks while perusing the menu. The food is fantastic, and amongst the best I've had. The service is friendly and it does feel like a family concern - we only go once a year, but the staff remember us and welcome us warmly.
You might think having polished off 3 courses, a bottle of wine and some pre-dinner drinks, we might not want breakfast next day, but it's funny how the smell of a well cooked breakfast revives the appetite!
Then it's back onto the moor to burn some calories ready for that evening!
Such a great way to get away from it all!
