My wife and I had an amazing time at the Boringdon Halll Hotel and Spa celebrating our wedding anniversary. From the moment we walked in the staff we so attentive and made our stay feel special. Upon entering our Wellbeing Room we had a beautiful card and gift waiting us. We had such a relaxing time and were able to fully unwind and destress.  We spent Saturday in the Spa and the reception kindly moved our afternoon tea to the Spatisserie, so we were able to stay in our dressing gowns as we ate lunch. The Spa itself was beautiful and clean, had a relaxed ambience and was quiet enough to use all of the facilities. The evening meal at the Mayflower Brasserie was really nice and we were well looked after by the waiting staff. A delightful surprise came out where we were given  complimentary fizz and chocolates with Happy Anniversary written on the plate - this was a really nice touch.  I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay here. Thank you to all of the staff.

“Fabulous”

We stayed one night in a wellness room. In checking in we were not told the lift was broken and no offer of help either of bags to room! 3 flights of stairs later and had to ask for directions.

We stayed one night in a wellness room. In checking in we were not told the lift was broken and no offer of help either of bags to room! 3 flights of stairs later and had to ask for directions. The room was lovely and modern. However a few snags: reeeeally strong drain smell from shower!! Very soft uncomfortable mattress and sad flat pillows. Also there was a very bright green light on (guessing for fire safety or something) which kept us awake we had to cover it! We had dinner in the Mayflower and could not fault it. The service was fantastic, the food was excellent and the wine was good. Breakfast the next morning was also good but slightly lacklustre on the service… We then had spa treatments which were really good. We’ve done a fair few spa days and the facilities were some of the best. Although it gets very busy so wasn’t that relaxing, also not enough showers in the changing rooms, we had to wait a while for one. I’m not quite sure it’s up there with a 5 star rating, maybe 4.5. We loved the setting, the old historical buildings, little cosy bar areas etc. We would definitely return and worthy of the trip up from Cornwall.

“Pretty good - not quite 5*”

I’d been wanting to visit the Spa for a few years as it had come recommended by various people. The staff were all friendly, couldn’t fault them at all. The spa is nice, but just nice.

I’d been wanting to visit the Spa for a few years as it had come recommended by various people. The staff were all friendly, couldn’t fault them at all. The spa is nice, but just nice. It didn’t wow me & I’ve been to quite a few spas. My Indian head massage with Magda was lovely, very relaxing but not a traditional Indian head treatment as I know them. Whilst my friend and I had a lovely relaxing afternoon, it was heavily let down by the afternoon tea. I had to ask for replacement sandwiches as the bread was stale. Such a shame as the scones were still warm and very yummy! I’ve honestly had fresher sandwiches in a Tesco meal deal. My macaron cracked when I bit into it as well. Not how it should be either. I work in hospitality and I was quite disappointed that someone in the kitchen thought that was ok to send out! The young waitress apologised and changed it for me, the replacement was better but still stale. Come on Borringdon. You’re selling yourself as a top spa in Devon and charging top prices. These are the basics!! Not sure I’d return.

“Interesting place but £35 for a rosé???”

This place was okay the building itself was interesting to look around. When we arrived, I went to our room. I fancied a coffee. The coffee maker wasn’t working so I called reception. They were very friendly and said don’t worry we will send a coffee up for you. Thank you. They charge me for it l... more

This place was okay the building itself was interesting to look around. When we arrived, I went to our room. I fancied a coffee. The coffee maker wasn’t working so I called reception. They were very friendly and said don’t worry we will send a coffee up for you. Thank you. They charge me for it later, !! my partner went to the bar to buy a glass of rosé and a rum and Coke he paid with his phone and then realised it cost over £40 so he went back to the bar and they told him that the glass of Rosa was £35 as you can imagine we were shocked and we should’ve been told how expensive it was. Didn’t ask for any pacific brand just a glass of Rosa. Would we stay there again? No, I felt like once you was in there you get ripped off.
