Gidleigh Park is a “timeless country house hotel on the cusp of Dartmoor’s playground. Your sanctuary in the wilds for life’s greatest pleasures. Find comfort in our attentive welcome and untethered adventure amongst our 107 acres, all on the bubbling upper reaches of the River Teign…Bring out the wonder within you and the little ones with our on-site activities or venture out further and embrace the call of the wild.” Gosh. Sounds like the sort of place to go and unwind, but we’ve seen far too many mentions of Dartmoor National Park on bloodbusiness already, and we know some like to ‘answer the call of the wild’ with shotgun blasts…And, indeed, Gidleigh is warmly recommended in the GoodShootHotel guide which says that “With secure gun storage, a number of dog-friendly bedrooms and onsite kennels, Gidleigh Park can comfortably accommodate shooting parties. Unwind in the oak-panelled lounges after a long day’s shooting with a glass of something warming beside the roaring log fire…” So yet another venue in Dartmoor that apparently sees no problem at all with consorting with the shooting industry and its ‘long days’ killing birds…
