Lovely helpful staff gave me a cool ground floor room in a heatwave with a fan as no air conditioning as it's an old traditional property. . Breakfast was good and I had smashed avocado and bacon on sourdough toast. Nice to see fresh fruit salad too. Can't comment on the evening meal as we went to the Italian a short walk away in the village

We booked the comfort double room ensuite, it was ok, but it was not spacious. The shower was a corner one, I’m only 5’4” and slim and felt it was ‘cosy’, not easy to turn around in, from photos I was expecting a walk-in shower. Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, the staff were helpful.
The hotel is in a quiet area, we needed a good sleep after a long day.
As I don’t eat spicy food we went along the road to an Italian restaurant which was recommended and very good. There’s also a pub nearby which serves food.

This hotel was really competitively priced so it was a no brainer. However we didn’t expect it to be as nice as it was. The grounds around the hotel are lovely, the planting of roses everywhere was very dramatic. Our four poster bedroom was very comfortable. The floorboards are very creaky but that’s a small price to pay. We had breakfast and an evening meal in the restaurant chilli’s, and I couldn’t recommend this enough, the Mexican evening meal was exceptional. Would return in a heartbeat!

This is a basic facility hotel, which in fairness offers reasonable value for money. Rooms are small and noise disturbance from adjoining rooms is a problem.
Bed was comfortable but room cleaning needs better attention. Food was good and this is a nice venue for a function.

A little disappointed

Convenient for the Haynes Museum and The Air museum. The rooms not as nice as we expected. Very dark and dated. The toilet was loose on the floor and there was no hot water in the sink, our room didn’t have curtains but shutters which meant if you made it private you couldn’t have any fresh air and it was very hot! Breakfast was okay. Beautiful wisteria growing in the courtyard

We arrived fairly late in the afternoon and were tired so did not want to go out for food and we were so pleased we didn’t as the restaurant food food was absolutely great. Home cooked with a great selection. We would very happily stay again.

It's a nice hotel, not a great hotel.

This is a nice hotel but could do with some modernisation.
Areas of the hotel are part of a much older building and as such, the room I was given had a low door height. Luckily I am only 5'8\" and only had to dip my head to get into the room. This could easily be awkward for much taller people and nothing was said when I checked in.
The room was ok, quite basic and clean but they really need to open their eyes and remove the cobwebs and spiders from the corners of the room. The cobweb in the bathroom had a lovely big dead fly in it.
Being an old property, the floor wasn't 100% flat which in turn put the bed on an angle. Not that big a deal but a couple of spacers to level it out would have prevented me from at an angle across the bed. Good job I was on my own. As I say, it's a nice hotel but not what I would expect for the money that are charging.
The food menu and drinks selection were both quite limited and breakfast was ok.

I stayed at the Northover Manor with some colleagues as we were on a weekend job. The hotel was very tidy and clean, well maintained, and in a lovely quiet village. They served a very nice dinner on Saturday evening, and their function room and grounds were pretty and well maintained. I could see it being a very comfortable place for a wedding or family reunion, or even an office retreat.

It’s a lovely little hotel with amazing surroundings and a lovely village staff were good although bar not open much and facilities didn’t seem manned.
What I can say though is breakfast should be included and it is not worth £12.50 it’s ok I think £7/&8 max is adequate for the portion and offering.

The entrance to reception needed tidying up, the room was clean and the garden was nice. Breakfast was good quality but for the price I think more should be offered when someone does not like beans and tomatoes, as 1 slice of bacon and 1 sausage and egg makes it a pricey breakfast. The receptionist when we arrived did not give a good impression, a smile costs nothing and a hole in her clothing was not what I expect to see in a receptionist. The following morning I was pleasantly surprised as the lady serving the food was jolly, on checkout the lady on reception could not have been more different to the previous evening and I left with a much more positive view of the hotel.

Disappointed with the bathroom as the extractor fan didn’t work, the shower controls were extremely stiff and there must have been something wrong with the electrics as two of the three lights went off and on at will and the third started flickering after 5 minutes.
Bedroom was fine apart from the uneven floor which was hidden be the carpet.

Good location, great food!

On arrival the receptionist was polite and friendly, cannot fault her. The room was comfortable and clean but could have done with a few more tea bags instead of two of each option. The wifi was strong and quick which was good as my phone signal was not the best.
The evening meal was amazing! I’d go back just to eat there again! The chap serving us was nice and seemed to have a passion for his menu(not sure if he was the owner). Breakfast was good too. The hotel is in a great location, just being off the a303 it’s ideal as a stop off without being right next to the duel carriageway. Plenty of free parking

Business Trip

I just want to say big thanks for the recent stay I had at Northover Manor Hotel for a business trip.

Due to my late arrival I was contacted by Tracey on my way down to ensure I had eaten as the restaurant would be closed by the time of my arrival which ended up being 9pm. Tracey had stayed on to ensure I had a warm welcome and gave information regarding my room and hotel.

The following two days I was looked after by Flick who was simply lovely. Sorted me out a light breakfast each morning and cooking me an evening meal which was delicious. I was also greeted with a cold beer after my day at work and was allowed to work whilst drinking. Flick always went out of her way to chat with me which is lovely when you are away from home.

Many Thanks
