This is our third visit to Northcote having last visited in 2020 in between lock-downs. This time we had our dog come along to stay with us. Everything in our room was dog friendly and a bowl and biscuits were in our room on arrival. …

We try to visit this fantastic hotel twice a year to relax and we always feel very welcome. Staff are lovely and very friendly and the food is exceptional. Rooms are always spotless. We always visit the spa for a swim and it is never over crowded. We will be back again soon.

Visited the spa for the first time on Saturday with my partner's sister and mum. It was so relaxing! The spa area and changing rooms were very clean and well thought out. We also each had a 30 minute massage. I was booked in with Briony and she was so lovely. I really enjoyed my treatment with her! Our cream teas were tasty and I was impressed they did a vegan scone with dairy free butter! Will definitely visit again some time. Thank you!

Excellent all round. The staff are the difference. Yes the food, location, spa etc are all amazing but the staff have a certain naughtiness about them that is very endearing. Always professional but also totally natural. They seem to be able to judge each guest to perfection to make their stay a thoroughly enjoyable one.
