Tranquil Spa Escape

The newly built spa offers a fantastic experience! The pool was perfectly heated, and the relaxation areas provided a peaceful atmosphere to unwind. I particularly enjoyed the hot tub with its stunning views over the Devon hills, making it hard to leave!

Cozy Comfort

I stayed in a lovely suite that was immaculately furnished, with soft linens and a spacious balcony overlooking the gardens. The full-size bathroom was a treat, especially the walk-in shower with excellent water pressure—it made my mornings feel luxurious.

Thoughtful Touches

The special touches in my room, like the complimentary homemade shortbread and fresh fruit, made my stay feel very personalized and welcoming. It’s these little details that really enhance the overall experience and made me feel well cared for.

I had a lovely stay at this historic hotel, enjoying the charm and tranquil atmosphere it offered. The spa facilities were delightful, with stunning views that made my experience relaxing. The rooms were adequate but seemed to be in need of some refurbishment. Dining was a mixed bag; while some meals were exceptional, others fell short of expectations. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but not quite the luxury retreat I had hoped for.

I had a lovely time at the hotel, enjoying the spacious Tavistock Suite with a nice view overlooking the hotel lawns. The service was genuinely lovely and made my stay feel special. However, I found the dining options during the gourmet dinner to be less inspiring than I had hoped, and the location, while tranquil, could benefit from better-maintained pathways. Overall, it was a great retreat with some tiny bumps along the way.

I had a delightful experience during my stay at Northcote Manor, where the charming historical character truly sets the scene for a unique getaway. The dining truly stole the show, offering exceptional meals complemented by a cozy atmosphere. On the downside, the evening menu could use a few more options, and navigating the area was a bit challenging due to roadworks. Overall, it's a lovely retreat for those seeking relaxation and fine dining.

My stay was special, set in a historic building with beautiful surroundings.
