Northcote Manor is a beautiful place in a stunning setting. The rooms are well presented and the food is gorgeous. However it is made even more special by the fabulous staff. The ladies in the spa are so friendly and welcoming, our therapists were Rosie and Erin and the treatments were wonderful, Lea & Teighan are lovely too and were so helpful with our queries. Emily and Finn who work in the restaurant & bar are a perfect mix of professional and friendly. In particular Emily is amazing and willing to go out of her way for guest satisfaction. She took the time to make us some wonderful cocktails that were to our taste despite not being on the rather limited official list. Management could make more use of Emily’s dedication as she goes above and beyond, and her creations would go a long way to enhancing the hotel’s current cocktail list. Thank you all for a wonderful stay, we will be back!

We have been to Northcote many times but this was our first Obsession experience and it was outstanding, the chef of the night was Tom Sheppard his menu was first class and it's easy to see why he has a Michelin star. We opted for the sommelier's excellent pairings. Breakfast was its usual high quality. The rooms are lovely and comfortable. A truly memorable stay (among the many we have had there.) Hoping to get to Obsession again next year!!

We stayed here for a weekend break. Very good offers and easy to book. Arrived early afternoon and were checked in very quickly. Receptionist helped take the bags to the room. Our package included a free cream tea which we had shortly after arrival. The scones were freshly baked and and delicious. We just chilled in the lounge. We had our dog with us and he probably received as much attention as we did. Nice dog walks around the grounds. Went down for dinner with a welcome drink and canapés. Excellent dinner and extensive reasonably priced wine list. Our room was very comfortable with lovely views over the grounds. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast in the morning. Do t be put off if you don’t have a dog, we were probably the only guests with a dog and there are plenty of dog free areas.

Our second visit, and we definitely hope to stay here again. Comfortable room, friendly, efficient service and the bonus of the lovely spa. We enjoyed an excellent 3 course dinner (rhubarb cheesecake was exceptional!). On another night we had the 6 course 'tasting' menu. Again the dishes were beautifully prepared and presented, but be careful: they were comparable with those on the a la carte menu - much more than a 'taste' - and too much for us.

Discovering a dining gem is a rare delight, and last night, we stumbled upon just that. This place offers a harmonious blend of a well-curated menu, culinary excellence, and staff who are not only friendly but also genuinely engaging. In the culinary landscape of North Devon, quality spots are few and far between, yet this establishment undoubtedly tops our list. Its charm and quality have secured our return visit. Highly recommended for an unforgettable dining experience

We hardly dare write this as everyone will go ! We've had yet another fabulous 4 nights at Northcote Manor. The welcome and care is beyond words. The food just wonderful and my allergies not the slightest problem. To dress smartly for dinner makes it extra special. The beds ,pillows and towels fabulous. All the staff are friendly and make you feel you belong ..then Simon is indescribable...full of fun and banter which we really like..... Log fires..subtle music...wonderful grounds... superb spa if you want to use it ... we can't wait to return ... Thank you all .

Stayed here with my partner recently and the hotel was fantastic. There was a member of staff on the reception desk to greet us when we checked in who was warm and inviting. We were given a tour and shown to our room which was spacious and comfortable, but had an unusual name. The scones are some of the best we’ve ever had and the service was exceptional. Emily kindly brought us everything we needed and frequently made sure we were looked after and was very friendly. We decided to have dinner in the evening while staying at the hotel and the food was exceptional. The beef was deliciously tender and well cooked and the deserts were all to die for. A bald gentlemen was polite and friendly and looked after us well, often making jokes with us and the surrounding guests. Tegan was extremely professional and made us feel very welcomed and looked after. She ensured we were looked after all night from unfolding our napkins for us to making us tea and coffee at the end of the evening. Harry was a very kind and polite gentleman who was extremely sweet, and made us feel at home. The younger staff in the hotel are fantastic and amazingly professional and hard working for their age. The managers also seem very friendly and professional. And aren’t too cold and hard with guests. Overall, our stay was fantastic and I would urge anyone passing by or looking to go away to stay in the hotel and try the food on offer. Im sure we will be back soon!
