Best Western The Dartmouth Hotel Golf & Spa

Stayed here a number of times for golf breaks and always found it reasonable value for money, nice little spa (quite small but adequate) and comfy rooms, especially now the bathrooms have been given a makeover. The reason it's only an average review is the food and drink. Both have gone downhill on my last two visits. Utterly bizarrely for a golf club, a club sandwich doesn't exist on the menu and the former excellent pint of Tribute is absent - most probably for a cheaper beer. The food now served is nothing more than standard fare with breakfast in particular nothing to get excited about. Seems like the venue's sale to Best Western has seen a slide in quality which is a shame. less

Me and my friend booked a weekend break. It was so relaxing and chilled. Wasnt too busy and the treatments were amazing. The food in the restaurant is a set menu and price but the food was brilliant and worth the cost. Staff in all areas were great with customer service would highly recommend and am already looking at my next stay less

Had a great stay at the Dartmouth Hotel, the weather was terrible, but the staff and facilities had a warm welcome, lovely evening meal in the restaurant. Bathroom needs a little updating, but overall lovely hotel. less

My friend and I visited the hotel for a girly spa break over the February half term. We really enjoyed our stay and found a spa deal on the woucher app. The break was worth the money we spent. The initial welcome was ok albeit brief.we didn't get any info on the spa etc. Although on checking out Dee was at the desk and she was more than helpful, if only she was there on day 1. Room.- our room was clean with a lovely view of the surrounding country side. The toilet and shower was clean and was cleaned daily with fresh towels. Where our room was situated was just near the restaurant on that level. It was very noisy during the evening and we could hear noise from rooms above us. The beds however were comfortable and there is a heater in the room if it is cold. Food. The breakfast was ok, not the best cooked breakfast and some of the bar and restaurant staff seemed grumpy but Charlie was always happy and willing to help. The evening meals were more tasty and the portion sizes were really good. Spa. We really enjoyed this part of our stay. The massage for 30 mins is priced at £39 and I initially thought this was a bit pricy but it was well worth every penny. Jenny the beauty therapist was excellant. I felt totally relaxed and pampered after my massage. I wish I had phoned the spa in advance to find out the less busiest times as 9-10:30 am and 4pm to 6pm are busy and buzzing with children and parents. Avoid these times if you just want peace and serenity. The spa staff were always polite and happy to answer questions. The steam room was a tad dirty but I did see the therapists clean this area so it maybe a build up of people going in and out. The gym also was really good and had enough equipment for a good work out. Over all we would stay here again and I felt we had value for money. less

Overall a good enjoyable stay. Charlie was very helpful in the restaurant, as was Dee from reception. The room was cold as the heater didn't work but we did get an electric heater so that helped. The room was noisy and a constant banging of doors was heard. The restaurant was good. Breakfast very nice as was the evening meal. Our disappointment was we were unable to experience the spar as they were all booked up and not being able to have a game of golf but that was due to the weather. We would return less
