Perfect mum and daughter treat!

My Daughter and I visited for a much needed pamper day. We decided to add on a nights stay to have a whole pamper day. We started in the spa with a delicious cream tea (mine gluten free and absolutely delicious!) We enjoyed using the spa which was quiet and really relaxing. We had lovely treatments in the spa which were so relaxing and we felt very pampered. After the spa we were taken to our room Which was beautiful, very tastefully decorated and we settled in. the shower was so powerful it was lovely...

...I’d like to thank the staff for their very warm welcome, and particular thanks to the ladies in the spa who made us feel so pampered and relaxed- you have no idea how much we needed that.

Lovely place to stay

Once again we have visited Northcote Manor, we reckon our 9th visit. If anything the food was probably the best we have eaten at Northcote, our first night was the tasting meal accompanied by an excellent flight of wine, reasonably priced for the quality.

The food was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Breakfasts continue to be good with plenty of choice. The staff are wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had super treatments in the spa, and enjoy the facilities. The rooms are warm and well appointed.

The location suits us very well with access to the coast if required. And finally the hotel is very dog friendly. In summary Richie runs an excellent hotel and we shall indeed return.

Very pleasant experience and friendly welcome

My wife and I went to Northcote Manor for afternoon tea at 3pm on 15th March 2025. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and polite young man. He couldn’t do enough for us and made the whole experience very enjoyable. The tea was excellent. Highly recommend.

Gourmet Break

We came on a night stay and a 5 course gourmet meal, this was my Christmas present. The staff are just amazing they are only young but very professional, and hard working. The rooms are wonderful and well equipped, For dinner you are asked to be in the bar half an hour before dinner, I ordered the best vodka martini I have had in years, very bond! Shaken not stirred then the sommelier came to talk wine and take our order. Then we were shown to our table and the meal began. Amazing!! It was a very lovely treat
