After a busy term back at school, spend some quality time together as a family with an action-packed October half term holiday at Bovey Castle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our 5 Red Star hotel is nestled in 275 acres of beautiful countryside within Dartmoor National Park, making Bovey Castle a perfect base to explore all that Devon has to offer.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also so much to experience together on-site at our hotel. From archery to fly fishing, falconry to bike riding, we\u2019ve chosen a few of our favourite family-friendly activities we think you\u2019ll love.<\/p>\n

This complimentary activity for hotel guests runs every day and begins with the chance to learn more about the animals\u2019 life at Bovey Castle, before watching a fun ferret race and collecting the chicken\u2019s eggs straight from the coop.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s also our falconry displays<\/a> where our experienced falconer provides an educational commentary on these breath-taking birds of prey as they soar through the sky. Running every Sunday – Friday, this complimentary activity is a magical experience for those young and old.<\/p>\n

If your family would like to combine meeting our furry friends with learning more about the estate\u2019s history, then why not try a deer park tour<\/a>? Guided by one of Bovey\u2019s deer keepers, this activity is priced at \u00a320 per adult, 1 child free per paying adult,\u00a0 and will see you spend an hour with these magnificent animals. Learn all about their lifecycle, nutrition and how deers fit into the conversation model on the Bovey estate.<\/p>\n
