One of the most relaxing hotels in North Devon

Stayed here numerous times over the years. Always come back as food is as good as any Michelin star restaurant I’ve eaten in. Staff v friendly and some have been here as long as we have been coming. Wine flight v generous and well priced. Rooms lovely spacious and great beds and linen . Little treats always welcome. Area beautiful lots to see and do even after 16 visits over 12 years. . Highly recommend to lovers of old fashioned hospitality and good food.

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.

This was our fifth visit to this beautiful country hotel. You cannot fault service and the food is fantastic. We had the gourmet meal on our first evening, I am still thinking about it and talking about it. Also we had the wine flight alongside, brilliant. Our second night we weren't expecting as good, but we were very pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the very warm pool and jacuzzi, superb. Thank you Northcote. We stayed in the Northcote suite. highly recommended.

The staff were excellent and we received a very warm welcome. The rooms were beautiful and so were the grounds (we didn't get to walk much because of the rain though). Great breakfast. Spa was very quiet. Very secluded area, so very quiet.

Everything was excellent during out stay. This was a last minuite booking due to our previous hotel being not up to standard, and Northcote Manor saved our short weekend away. The staff were polite, engaging and attrentitve. Facilities were beautiful and well kept and dinner was extremely ejoyable. I really look forward to coming back again next year.

Being my partner’s birthday Northcote Manor was chosen for his celebratory dinner, you’ve got to celebrate reaching 84 haven’t you.

The meal, 3 courses followed by a cheese board was as usual delicious, each mouthful a delight, the service as usual impeccable, the dining room was quite busy but there was no over long wait between courses & all staff were efficient & cheerful.

We’ve eaten here several times probably 5 or 6 & we have never had a meal we haven’t enjoyed or had bad service, the surroundings are lovely & relaxing so can highly recommend.

Many thanks to Richie, Mitchel, Simon and the rest of the Northcote team for another lovely break. The food and hospitality were spot on as usual. The hard working kitchen team continue to provide us with beautifully presented tasty meals. Top marks for the tournedos of beef and chocolate marquise. The spa was a relaxing haven from the pressures of work.

Looking forward to returning in January.

Our three night stay was perfect in every way. This hotel is very well managed and all of the staff make every guest feel special and cared for. Their attention to detail is exemplary which adds to the relaxed and very conformable feel where nothing is too much trouble.

The food is exceptionally and consistently good and the dining atmosphere is the right balance of formal but not too much so.

A lovely weekend with our family. The rooms are very comfortable and well equipped , the quality of food at dinner was exceptional as always. The management and staff are so helpful and efficient, while the bonus is the superb facilities in the Spa. We shall return.

“We would like to say what an amazing weekend Northcote Manor created for our wedding on 1st November. The organisation throughout the year, and across the wedding weekend itself, was seamless, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy every moment.

Northcote is a beautiful venue, and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. A special mention must go to Richie and the entire team, who went above and beyond to make our wedding such a memorable and pleasurable experience. The staff were helpful, efficient and incredibly polite, a real credit to Northcote.

A huge thank you to everyone involved”

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.

Our 4th three day break proved to be just as good as previous experiences. The welcome and service is warm friendly and efficient. The hotel is spotless and rooms warm comfortable and well appointed. Dining is a particular pleasure with interesting menus and beautifully presented dishes.

The hotel, staff and food are as wonderful as they always were. We loved the swimming pool and spa facilities, and the location is amazing. Thank you to everyone at Northcote Manor for making our stay wonderful.

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.

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

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
