My husband and I have just returned from a marvellous Gormet stay at Northcote. The hotel is divine...luxurious and tranquil without any stuffiness. You feel you are a special guest in a beautiful country house. The food is beautiful and the wine list is of the finest quality. My husband is paraplegic and we generally struggle to fine luxury accessible... More

You get what you pay for. It's easy to find. 9 miles off the M6. In the Ribble Valley. Beautiful countryside. We stayed on the Gourmet Break. Room was average in size but lovely. Free soft drinks, great bathroom, good quality furnishings. Really tho you go here for the food. Champagne and entrees - brilliant. 5 course dinner - incredible.... More

Our second visit, we were concerned that our high opinion of Northcote was rose tinted by time - however we worried for no reason as it was better than before! The staff, the hotel and the food are all exceptional. We had the tasting menu with matching wines. The food was sublime - we have tried to pick a favourite... More

We have spent many happy hours in Nigel Haworth's Ribble Valley Inns so it was only a question of time before we finally decided to try his flagship Northcote. Was it expensive? Definitely. Value for money? Undoubtedly. The welcome when you arrive is genuine, unlike the forced politeness I have experienced in so many hotels. The room was clean, comfortable... More

Treat your self to a step back in time. As you arrive the only thing that is missing is the steam train that takes you back in time. The Manor house is a real architectural gem. With all the original features. Polite staff, attentive.Friendly and giving you that personal touch. Good food discription delivered with passion. The food beyound compare... More

We recently stayed for a one night gourmet break. The bedroom and bathroom were both huge, the bathroom having a bath and a separate shower cubicle and lovely shampoos etc. Both rooms were immacutely clean, so full marks to the housekeeping staff. We went down to dinner and were shown into the lounge to have canapes and champagne and look... More

We actaully stayed a couple of years ago but have finally got around to signing up on this site! We were there for a special birthday, having both a meal and staying over for one night. From the moment we arrived all staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about their own areas. The room was exceptional with every amenity on... More

Northcote has become our "go to" destination for a celebratory weekend away---this time for my wife's 50th birthday. The overall experience was everything we've come to expect. Well appointed, comfortable room (this time on the ground floor, with french window and patio area outside which, due to the weather, we sadly couldn't take much advantage of). Friendly, helpful and interested... More

I had a birthday treat today at Northcote with my partner and two children and can honestly say it was exceptional! Not only was the food outstanding, but the attentive service was simply brilliant. There was a slight mix up with my starter but this was dealt with swiftly and they were very apologetic. Nice touches were signed chefs' hats... More
