Romantic locations abound in Devon. Whether it's a cosy self catering hideaway or a top
class hotel suite you will always remember this very special first holiday as Mr. and Mrs.
Top of the league in hotel accommodation is the utterly wonderful Gidleigh Park Hotel near to Chagford.
Imagine spending your honeymoon lounging in this luxurious marble bath with a double shower to your right, plus your 
own steam room and sauna, whilst the view down the valley from the window balcony is of wonderful leafy Dartmoor?
Gidleigh staff will go out for their way to ensure your romantic stay is perfect.
I am always hugely impressed by the hotel's high standards.
If you fancy taking dinner in your room, then the attentive staff
will sort that without a murmer.Take a look at their website where
you can take a virtual tour and imagine yourself there.
When our girls
were younger, they used to babysit at GPH and one place they used
to marvel at is the thatched pavillion that overlooks the croquet lawn, within the grounds. This pretty little hideaway is a 2 minute walk
from the hotel and because of the distance, they don't offer room service, so you are completely left to your own devices.
The sweet little pavillion has a sitting room with space to sit at a table, or you could wander out on to your own verandah with your pre dinner drinks, ready to walk up to the hotel whenever it suits you
to eat.
Furnished up to Gidleigh Park's high class standards.
Celebratory champagne can be on ice waiting for you to arrive!
