Northcote Manor

We have stayed at the hotel and spa a number of time now and have never been disapointed. The location is stunning with far reaching view over the Devon countryside. The main house outside is starting to look a little tired and could do with some TLC in a number of places. However what makes the stay so enjoyable is the staff. From the Mangers, Richie and Briony to Michell who's wine knowledge is amazing to the cleaners and waiters, all are so kind and polite - They remember us and appear to be happy to see us again. The same for the Spa team they are always kind and welcoming - I could not rate the staff and the stay any lower than 5 stars and we are already looking forward to booking again in the near future and also booking the new rooms next year when the are finished.

My son purchased a stay at northcote manor for us, he knows it’s our favourite place, we had a relaxing few days here and the food was amazing Thanks to all the staff for making our stay special. I loved the food and the surroundings of this beautiful old building. We will be returning soon

Many thanks to Richie, Mitchel and the team for another lovely short break. The food and service was fabulous and the spa relaxing. Hope to see you all with our daughter in the New Year. Great evenings spent chatting to other residents too. Happy Christmas!

There is a lot to like about this historic hotel. We especially liked all the staff who are lovely - welcoming, friendly and helpful - thank you Simon for the warm welcome. We had a Classic Room - Honeysuckle - which is one of their accessible rooms (we don't need one of those but were happy with it) which is a good-sized room for the category with a super-king comfortable bed, large bathroom and quiet location in the hotel. We appreciated the fruit, home-made shortbread and mints in the room. We had a full English breakfast on both days of our stay which was delicious - we also enjoyed the overnight oats, yogurt and fruit pots, which were served in individual kilner jars. We were staying at the hotel for a family wedding (not at the hotel) so we didn't eat in the restaurant or visit the spa. The hotel has several beautiful drawing rooms which offer comfortable spaces to relax by the fire and enjoy the scenery. It is a little old fashioned in places (sachets in the breakfast room and in the rooms with UHT milk pots) and the outside could do with some tidying (painting the downpipes, for example) but as a 3-rosette hotel we think it offers a lovely stay which is excellent value.

Another lovely relaxing visit. This truly is a special place. The hard working staff (Mitchel and Simon, but everyone one we met) are such an asset. The food was sublime, the lamb in particular was my personal favourite. All topped off by some time spent in the spa. Hopefully we’ll be back later in the year. Thank you.

We have been to northcote lots of times and I'm still amazed each time I go. The place is beautiful, the rooms are lovely, the food is amazing, the spa is great. The genuine care the staff provide is unlike anywhere else, between the knowledge of the place, food and wine, the laughter and jokes, and the ability to try and do anything and adapting where they can to make you have the best time! I cannot recommend northcote manor any highly. I hope to continue to relax there for many years to come.
