Romantic Hideaways Dartmoor

A romantic getaway in the heart of Dartmoor

For romantic hideaways in Dartmoor, few settings feel as naturally memorable as Gidleigh Park. Set on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, surrounded by 107 acres of gardens, woodland and riverbanks, this celebrated country house hotel offers a rare kind of escape: refined, private, gastronomic and quietly removed from the pace of everyday life.

This is a stay designed for couples who want more than a hotel room. From the moment you arrive, the sense of seclusion and natural beauty creates an atmosphere of genuine romance. Michelin-starred dining, evenings by the fire, garden walks along the River Teign and restful nights in individually styled rooms turn a short break into a genuine occasion. It is well suited to anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, belated celebrations and weekend escapes from London and the South West.
