Good location. Typical country house hotel. Staff and service excellent. Good food.

Excellent service, assistance, helpful and couldn"t do enough for . Very proffessional in verything they done. Both myself and my partner were very impressed.

The hotel is not a four-star hotel. The walls are thin, we were kept awake by a blaring television, had to call the manager at 1.30am. Room too hot. Paint falling off the walls. Cleaner barged in without knocking at 9am. Manager Dave promised to refund me for part of my stay through Expedia and then refused when contacted by Expedia. So he LIED. On tap Guinness served out of a can. Oven chips served instead of thrice-cooked chips advertised. Really poor service. Drinks and food over priced. Would definitely not recommend this hotel. Poor poor service. £5 for the Guinness served out of can. Bedding old. Beds uncomfortable. Really terrible stay in this hotel. It’s more a red star than four star. If you want a comfortable break it’s not the place to go.

Great place can’t fault it

Very comfortable snd friendly

The hotel is well managed and the staff are very thoughtful. The spa facilities are exceptional, the treatment I was lucky enough to have was amazing. Special thanks to Adele for giving me a new back!!!

Nice hotel but small country road to get to. Spa swimming pool was very nice. Room comfortable. Negatives are wifi too slow to watch Netflix etc, needs black out blinds in rooms as woken early due to brightness through curtains, also had a really posh shower enclosure but the water pressure was not good. Overall a nice pleasant stay but the small negatives did spoil the overall stay.

Excellent spa hotel. Secluded and quiet, with great views of Devon countryside. Very comfortable bed and bathroom facilities working nicely. Cosy and tidy surroundings inside with places to lounge and read in comfort. Spa facilities feel new. Includes swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and large jacuzzi. Adjacent is a gym with plenty of exercise machines.

We had a lovely stay at the Ilsington Hotel. Very friendly staff, lovely spa facilicites and treaments. Great food and a very peaceful atmosphere.

A great trip away, the staff were attentive and helped us to unwind and relax with suggestions of local things to do and see. The food in the restaurant was very good and a good selection of local drinks. Everything was clean and tidy, the only negative was that the wall between our room and the next was very thin. They decided to get up at 6am, had the TV on loud and then slammed their way out at 8am and we knew all about it but that was solved by a post breakfast snooze.

Nice location. clean hotel, comfortable. had a good time. county side road. Good food, facility, and customer service are great.

One night break in the country house was just what we needed to explore the area. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the place and nice touches: good quality organic decaffeinated coffee in the room, home made flapjacks. The spa area and facilities (sauna, steam room, swimming pool and jacuzzi with 4 different massages) were perfect (I haven't tried their gym equipment) . We will definitely use this place for a short retreat again.

Really lovely friendly hotel, fantastic spa facilities, delicious food, brilliant friendly staff (And no, I don't work there!) Seriously, the best holiday break I've ever had. Thank you, Ilsington.

Lovely location in the national park, only a short drive to Torquay and Exeter. Plenty of parking. Room was okay (due for refurbishment by the look of the bathroom especially, but very clean); however, the bed was not made properly and the mattress was not the best. Manager picked up our initial review and came to see us straight away which was good. We weren't after any freebies but were pleased to be offered another room... until he said it would cost us extra! Cheeky, to say the least. As we were only staying 2 nights, we didn't make a fuss but will not be returning or recommending to friends. Had dinner in the restaurant on first night and it was excellent. Both breakfasts were also very good quality. Shame that the view from the restaurant is spoilt by an ugly outbuilding (must be a way to disguise it!). Leisure facilities (only used pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room) were excellent (new?) although the chap who came to kick us out at closing time needs to work on his people skills. Didn't use the bar or gardens.

Can’t fault it. A very relaxing romantic mini break. Enjoyed the pool, hydro pool, sauna & gym + very tasty freshly prepared meals at comparable price to the local pub!

Second stay and standards as high as ever - lovely rooms, friendly helpful staff, great food, pool and spa great, great location, lovely garden - a firm favourite

Myself and my wife had a 2 night break at the hotel. The staff are excellent and very friendly. The room was clean and suited our needs. The food in the restaurant was excellent - both the breakfast and the evening meals.

Spacious room, friendly staff, delicious dinner and much needed hydrotherapy pool after a long walk. Good location to Dartmoor and surrounding areas.

My partner and I had the most fantastic weekend, the facilities were outstanding the suite we had was incredibly relaxing and dinner unbelievably good! This is an absolute gem the service unparalleled and staff team couldn’t have done more to make our stay special!

A long time since i last stayed at the Islington, I was not disappointed. Excellent.

Staff friendly food excellent clean rooms and good spa - downsode heating on regulator therefore room cold window in bathroom permanently open as it was broken so cold bathroom - room disapointing smallish window one end so no good view when sitting and not welcolming sitting area - bedroom area dark so had to have lights on all the time - lights failed one morning so was in the dark completley. Hot water took 5mins to run hot and evenings when heating not working no hot water at all - complained several times - portable heater was brought to our room - water issue never resolved and was told heating was governed by temperature and set at about 18 degrees. Too cold when you are elderly and come in wet and cold. Dissapointed due to these issues - did not consider room worth the money as we asked to be upgraded before stay and paid extra £140 to hotel for 4 night stay as we found out room allocated from Expedia booking was a room that dogs can stay in. Summing up - staff, food spa and gardens ecellent - room, heating hot water and jammed window and ambiance of room poor. Not worth what we paid considering the extra £140 added to the money paid to expedia. Sadly we would not stay here again.

Great accommodation and fine dining. Staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful!

Lovely setting, good parking onsite, helpful staff at every stage and happy to assist with our request to extend our stay. Nice spa facilities, the only recommendation I would suggest is a slight drop in price for the treatments just to come more on line with other spa facilities but the difference was not very large. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend!

The Spa, swimming pool area was modern clean and inviting. The hotel itself was a trifle drab and dated. Although our en suite bathroom was modern the bedroom itself was tired and in need of a good makeover. Hotel food was excellent.

Hotel overall is quiet, peaceful and comfortable. The spa was really nice - kept clean and tidy. It was lovely and warm too and it thoroughly relaxed me. The only down side was lack of spa loungers to relax by the pool but it is a small spa. It’s not a hotel for anyone looking for loads of entertainment and nightlife but we had a lovely meal in the Blue Tiger and spent the eve playing board games by the fire (we’re in our 40’s) which suited us after a late night out the day before! The staff were really good - it’s a small team and they all work hard, you can tell. Everyone was friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
