Our new spa is the only Spa by L’OCCITANE in the UK and features exclusive treatments, including bespoke therapies created in partnership with the luxury, Provençal brand.

Gidleigh Park celebrate two Michelin stars

Having only started at Gidleigh Park in January this year, this is the first year that Michelin have evaluated Executive Chef, Michael Wignall’s Gidleigh Park menus, and with great success. Announced today during a star studded event held at the Institution of Engineering and Technology at Savoy Place, London, the ceremony was the first time the awards had been announced at a live event since The Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland was introduced to Britain in 1911.
