The Ilsington Country House Hotel & Spa has a swimming pool and spa that are highly praised by guests. The pool is lovely and some guests even describe it as 5-star quality with a big wow factor. It's great for length swimming but some guests found it too shallow for adults. The hydrotherapy pool and huge jacuzzi pool also got a lot of positive feedback. However, a few guests did mention that some jets in the jacuzzi weren't working. Overall, guests thought the leisure facilities were good and the spa was excellent. Despite Covid, the staff and facilities managed well and guests even enjoyed a swim and a massage. The only downside was that some guests wished the pool and spa were open longer hours. Nevertheless, everyone loved the location and the pool, garden and dining areas were also praised.
The hotel's swimming pool is open from 7am until 8.30pm for adults and from 9am until 5.30pm for children (accompanied by an adult).
Summary of reviews related to the 'Pool' category
The pool at Bovey Castle is a mixed bag with some guests raving about its size and amenities, while others found it disappointing. The pool is large and well-stocked with towels and other supplies, but during peak hours, it can get loud and crowded. Families with children may enjoy the pool, but some guests were disappointed with its temperature and a few found the surrounding area to be dirty or noisy due to nearby machinery. If you're planning a stay at Bovey Castle, the pool may be a nice perk to enjoy, but don't necessarily count on it being your favorite aspect of the hotel.
