a hidden gem with breathtaking views of the abbey and delightful rooftop music under the stars

Exceptional experience with glorious abbey views.

Fully Accessible Room features ample space with easy maneuverability for those with mobility needs. The property offers a terrace that’s a nice spot for some fresh air when you need a break.

The bathroom in the accessible room could use a non-slip floor. my mom slipped, though the provided mats helped a lot. The evening meals were on the fancier side and pricier than we expected, which didn’t align with what my mom wanted to eat. On arrival, we struggled to find a room to change in before heading to a local event, which was less than ideal considering our timing.

The location near the Abbey was stunning! We enjoyed a fantastic two-course dinner at a lovely restaurant. the fish & chips were delicious.

serene abbey ambiance with quick access to city attractions

During my stay, I found the staff incredibly friendly and helpful, and enjoyed a short 2-minute walk to the beautiful abbey and gardens, which made for a peaceful escape from the bustling city life after a day of exploring. the hotel was clean, well-maintained, and definitely a perfect spot for single travelers like me who appreciate being close to nature and historical landmarks.

We had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and helped fix my mum's wheelchair. The only downside was that the bar was closed when we arrived. a lovely retreat! 😊

Outstanding customer service

I had a lovely stay with a beautiful large walk-in shower and an amazing breakfast every day! They really care about what they serve, and the food was of high quality.

The location is stunning, right next to beautiful Abbey gardens, offering a peaceful retreat. The superior double room with terrace provided a fantastic view of the surrounding area, enhancing the overall experience.

There’s no air conditioning in the rooms, which can make hot weather uncomfortable. The restaurant wasn't open for dinner during our stay, forcing us to drive to a nearby pub that lacked the ambience we were hoping for. some TV channels had sound issues, and the volume was restricted, making it difficult to enjoy evening entertainment. A few minor cleanliness issues were noted, like slight mold in the shower. On top of that, parking could be tricky due to improper parking by others.

Northgate House is beautifully decorated with large bay windows and classic fireplaces, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that I truly appreciated. The spacious areas were easily accessible, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable as a senior traveler.

Better Wi-Fi connectivity would enhance the stay.

staying here exceeded my expectations from my last trip to buckfastleigh. the breakfast was phenomenal, with fresh options like poached eggs and great variety. the staff were incredibly helpful and cheerful, making the atmosphere lovely overall.

the wifi was unreliable at times.

A splendid experience highlighted by the comfortable room and an excellent breakfast offering a variety of fresh options. The delightful dining area provided a welcoming atmosphere, enhancing our stay. a slightly limited dinner menu could use expansion, and a cheese selection would improve breakfast. Nonetheless, the cleanliness and friendly service throughout made a lasting impression.

would definitely return here

We had a cozy double room with clean, modern decor. Loved the self-serve breakfast, especially the massive hash browns! It's just a quick stroll to stunning abbey gardens, perfect for a peaceful walk. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Enjoyed great shower facilities and all the necessary amenities like a kettle and free toiletries.

I had a fantastic stay! The breakfast menu was extensive and freshly prepared, and that large walk-in rainfall shower was a dream after a long day. The peaceful gardens provided a perfect escape too. can't wait to return!
