Heart of the countryside

Here at Northcote Manor, we enjoy being right in the heart of the English countryside, complete with 20 acres of woodlands and lawn.

Although we’re tucked away in a peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we are still easily accessible by all modes of transport.

By car

Northcote Manor creates an atmosphere of total peace, tranquillity, and seclusion, but we’re actually very close to major cities and routes.

40 minutes from M5 J27
55 minutes from Exeter (A377)
1 hour 30 minutes from Torquay

Unless you enjoy the scenic route, don’t use our postcode with your Sat Nav because it will take you via a long, complicated maze of country lanes. It’s much faster and easier to use the Portsmouth Arms station postcode (EX37 9ND), which will lead you to us via the A377 and take you straight to our main entrance.

Our main entrance is directly opposite the station.

Please email or call us if you need further directions.
