Northgate House Hotel - Buckfastleigh

well, it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay for one night. the full english breakfast was solid, we loved it. the location was peaceful and ideal, also in the grounds are the obligatory gift shops selling extortionately priced goods including the famous buckfast tonic, in the nice quiet area. there was an a la carte restaurant nearby.

Exceptionally clean, low cost hotel with extremely helpful staff. Fresh and nice hot breakfasts, with cheese, great views plus pastries.

Location just off the grounds of the Buckfast Abbey as well as Dartmoor. Well managed staff, free wake up service and ironing. Appetising food and carbonated drinks.

Quite busy staff!

a hidden gem with amazing views of the abbey and good rooftop music under the stars

Really good experience with glorious abbey views.

The service was all in all excellent. Enjoyed our double room with bath. The staff were professional, as for 3-stars hotel.

It has a pleasant bar and hard-working staff.

Fully Accessible Room features ample space with easy maneuverability for those with mobility needs. The hotel 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, less than ideal considering our timing.

The location near the Abbey was fine! 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

I found the staff friendly and helpful, and enjoyed a short 2-minute walk to the beautiful abbey and gardens, 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! 😊

Excellent 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 fine, right next to beautiful Abbey gardens. The superior double room with terrace provided a fantastic view of the surrounding area.

There's no air conditioning in the rooms, which can make hot weather uncomfortable. The restaurant wasn't open for dinner , 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. A few minor cleanliness issues were noted, like slight mold in the shower, disappointing. 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. The spacious areas were easily accessible 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 amazing, with fresh options like poached eggs and great variety. The staff were helpful and cheerful.

the wifi was unreliable at times.
