The Dartmouth Hotel, Golf and Spa

A very nice hotel in a fantastic location, good food and clean accommodation. Superb Championship golf course in great condition with 2/3 holes you’ll always remember.

The hotel exterior could do with some tlc, however, the rooms were more than adequate (we had 4 singles) and came with a huge double bed, walk in shower and was generally comfortable. The bar/restaurant area was adequate, again, a little dated but plenty of choice at the bar (quite pricey). One ‘sports bar’ was closed until further notice and we felt the pro shop was lacking with choice to buy. The leisure facilities we didn’t use however, having been there before with my wife, I can remember them being good! We were on half board, the evening meal choices were excellent and the quality of the food was very good, as with the breakfast, buffet style all you can eat, great choices and good quality. We would go again.

Excellent stay. Would highly recommend.

Overall the hotel and accommodation were very good. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous with the exception of 1 member of staff who did not meet the same very high standards set by others.

great three day stay at Dartmouth with my group of twelve golfers, we all had really good rooms well furnished and comfortable

Nice Room with good facilities

Arrived on a lovely sunny day. Although the exterior is slightly tired looking, all rooms have been updated and are very comfortable.

As the host of 18 gentlemen all seemed to proceed seamlessly. No complaints.

Trip was Valentine and my Birthday couple of days. We arrived at hotel to be told that golf course closed. We asked why we were not contacted and they said they were not given our contact details to let us know. We contacted yourgolftravel and told we could re-arrange another date. We explained that was too late as no one had contacted us and a 3 hour drive and time taken off of work. The course was open the second day for us. Can we get any form of compensation or even discount of another trip there as we would have enjoyed there had been some communication. I have had a call from your company this morning and I think your operative is getting back to me about issues.

Rooms are basic and are starting to look a bit dated. Having said that they are clean and tidy and perfectly acceptable for a short golf stay where all you want is a comfortable bed and good shower. Food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall very good value and would certainly go again

Friendly Staff and very efficient. Room was ok clean and comfortable shower was great .

The course was in great condition. Staff friendly and helpful . Would recommend.

Really lovely hotel for a short golf break. It looks slightly tired from the outside, but the room was spacious, clean and well decorated and hotel had plenty of facilities, including a spa and swimming pool.

Potential to be amazing ! Hotel is dates and needs upgrading- although the rooms are very good with space and comfy beds. Bar needs a bit of a facelift but is functional - could do wjtb a seperate dining space. Pool table was a bit messed up and cue was broken. Good showers and beds so the sleep was perfect. With a bit of investment and tidying up this place could be amazing !! Spa is basic but effective - one big positive of this place is the food !! The food was fantastic and the meal included in the package was great value for money. Breakfast is basic and not the greatest but three course dinner was superb Location is a bit secluded which is both a blessing and a curse - some of The roads in and out are terrible !!

Friendly staff, good value stay, only negative was the price of a pint!

Accommodation a little tired Dodgy shower head & rocky floor tile in bathroom.A little surprised no fridge in room or Airton.

Excellent staff who were very friendly and helpful. We were looked after very well.

It was so good from check in with the receptionist and this continued into the Bar/ restaurant. Staff were very helpful and efficient. The food was excellent and a great choice for our evening meal . Breakfast was excellent too . Our room was on level 3 by the restaurant and was very quiet. Tea coffee anf biscuits were supplied.

Excellent service all round.

We stayed for 2 nights Dinner B&B and I must say that the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was far and away above the standard of the 3 stars the hotel has. I cannot fault it at all. The Championship golf course is an absolute credit to the greenkeeping staff.

great stay, thoroughly enjoyed the hotel

Fantastic value for money. Excellent course, marvelous food with great service. Couldn't recommend all enough. Can't wait for my next visit

Excellent food both breakfast and the 3 course evening meal

Check in was quick, staff very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and had everything we needed.

We had no cause for any complaints.All the staff were very helpful.

Excellent

The accommodation is of a high standard and food very good with the staff very courteous and helpful. The Covid procedures were good and worked well.

The hotel is looking very tired BUT the hardworking staff are excellent, very helpful & very friendly

Had a lovely break , the staff in restaurant and bars were great, our only criticism was the receptionist when we arrived didn’t seem to know all the details, we had to ask several questions

I set off from Sussex on the 1st September heading for a three night stay at the Dartmouth Golf & Country Club and I'm happy to report the club was really easy to find, with a lovely entrance and a long, sweeping drive up to the hotel. A warm welcome greeted me at the reception desk where I checked in and upon getting to my room I was somewhat surprised, but delighted, to find my room was in fact a suite! This made for an extremely comfrotable stay and a great start to the trip.

I chose Dartmouth because I was able to meet up with old friends with whom I could play golf. The golf course here is beautiful, with fabulous views over the Devon countryside. The long walks between tees were fairly steep in places and I discovered muscles in my legs I never knew I had; a buggy would come highly recommended from this weary golfer!

I was blessed with beautiful weather too so the course was a joy to play and I really enjoyed meeting up with old friends for a game. 

The food  at the resort was delicious and I can honestly say the breakfast I had was one of the best I have ever tasted. The staff were very friendly and helpful too which made for a really nice stay at Dartmouth Golf & Country Club.

For a quite, no frills weekend of golf, Dartmouth ticks all the boxes.

The course is superb and the difficulty rating is obviously from which tees you play. So yellow tees a good test for mid range handicaps. White tees a very good test for mid-low handicappers. Gold tees 5 or below handicap.

Pathways slippy , wouldn’t like to play again

Would be good if a coffee machine was in the half way house

First day it rained pretty hard for the first hour of our round (this seemed to improve my game weirdly) but all 4 of us said and well maintained the course was. Rarely saw any surface water, greens well manicured and the overall layout of the course was challenging. Our only grey error - the bunkers, some of these were flooded and the quality of the sand was poor, to the point, notable scratches to my 58 degree from the 17th green side bunker. Other than that, we would definitely come back.

Great course. Very challenging but fair. Great condition.

Did not play this course

Being mid to high handicappers we found the course quite difficult but very enjoyable and in excellent condition.

great three days golfing at Dartmouth, our group of twelve played the championship course and boy was it tough but the scenery was superb and the course beautiful and we were blessed with amazing weather

Greens a little slow from previous visit but reasonably good in appearance- bunkers not so good with lots of stones in them but overhaul still a good venue

We hired buggies which certainly helped with our overall enjoyment. Food and staff excellent.

The only frustration were the greens had been sanded. Otherwise, particularly for the time of year and given the heavy rain fall course was in good condition generally. It's extremely tough, but the boys enjoyed the challenge. Think due to conditions and course difficulty the best score was four over handicap. Most were around 10 over, which says a lot.

As stated above communication was non-existent and we arrived to find courses closed on 1st day. However we played the 2nd day in awful weather and only saw 2 other groups playing as so bad. Therefore no hold ups at all. However considering awful weather we have had recently the ground staff have done amazing job. Obviously buggies not allowed on fairways. But that made common sense. I have played course before and beautiful when weather good.

A very good course with good variety of holes, particularly the front nine. Tough and tight in places. Good condition for time of year.

We had two lovely days weather wise busy on the Sunday as you would expect Monday quieter. Greens were immaculate not a blemishes.

Course was in great condition. Suitable for all abilities. Great views and enjoyable.

Fantastic course at a very reasonable price. We played off the blue tees (6173yds) both days and this provided a stern test of golf with the wind blowing hard - I'm glad we didn't opt for the longer options. The greens were fantastic, and the course is very well maintained other than the tee boxes being a bit scrappy. There was also a large putting/chipping green which was in great condition, and some practice nets. There are a lot of undulations and it's quite a hilly course, with some long walks between holes (think Celtic Manor), so although it isn't a problem walking it if you're fit, most folks would probably want to hire a buggy here, and there were plenty available. We had the course to ourselves both days and really enjoyed our golf here. Would definitely play it again.

Really hard to score this one !! Tee boxes are awful and in my opinion let the course down a bit- the bunkers are also out of sorts and seem to have the wrong sand in ? Barring those two issues the potential of this course is brilliant - lots of undulating fairways - tricky tee shots - tight fairways - small greens. This really is a gem of a course in terms of layout and it’s a shame the tees were a bit ropey and the general repairing of other players pitch marks was a bit of a an issue. Played off both the blues and the whites - really does change the course up and we had two days of completely different weather - day one wind and rain off the whites brutal test- Day two sun and calm - off the blues- really enjoyable and still tricksy. Would love to go back in the future and value for money wise was amazing !!

Good course but it was so dry and bouncy it made it very tricky.

Lovely challenge If I were to be critical Greens slow and general signage around course could be improved Cost of buggies a little expensive as they are a must for most

We were a group of 4 women. It was a challenging course, and one of the issues we had was working out where the flags were. The signage was concentrated on the men's tees, which were sometimes a distance from the women's

We enjoyed it very much .

We knew it was hilly ,we had one buggy for one of our ladies and the rest of us walked . We found the fairway bunkers were in range for a lot of our ladies and the sand wasn't the best.The ponds are a feature of this course but they lacked any pond life/plants. General condition was good . Great 18th finishing hole !

Cant fault anything about the course

This is how a Championship course should be. Tough but fair. A credit to the staff.

beautiful course

course was in a very good condition

Well maintained, nice greens for the time of year..Very impressed overall.

Enjoyed the challenge. Shame that the 4th was a temporary green due to tree works but work has to be done sometime

Good course, quick greens, bunkers were in poor condition, lots of rain in the day's before so some were flooded and sand was hard if you could play it.

A great variable 9 hole course made up to 18 holes by the simple expedient of using different tees f0r the second nine holes. This was very useful in preparation for the Championship course the next day and always has the potential for serious practice and enjoyment. Also providing great views..

We really enjoyed the course and sailed around in 3 hours and 10 minutes and our combined age is 156 years old!. Great views too......

Wished we had buggies

A very hilly course and some players may consider using a buggy. It is in great condition and very enjoyable to play.

Unfortunately only managed play once out of 3 times due to back problem but thoroughly enjoyed the course but a hard walk!

The course is medium length but very hilly, quite long walks between some holes so maybe take a trolley. Fantastic course, would rate it as the best we have played were it not for Bovey Castle

The course was interesting but found a lack of signs for next tee

Challenging but enjoyable
