Northgate House - A 3-star hotel in secluded grounds with British dining, historical features, and proximity to Buckfast Abbey

Northgate House offers 32 rooms spread across three floors, including single, twin, and bunk rooms, with two superior rooms featuring private balconies. Original architectural details like open fireplaces and bay windows remain in the older section of the building. A full English breakfast is served each morning at the property, while the on-site restaurant specializes in British cuisine with vegetarian, dairy-free, and vegan options. Guests can relax in the cozy bar, which offers an extensive cocktail menu, or explore the spacious private grounds for games and walks. The hotel provides free parking, Wi-Fi, and a 24-hour front desk, along with a games room featuring a pool table and table football. Located within Buckfast Abbey's gardens, Northgate House is 45 km from Exeter International Airport, with Dartmoor National Park and nearby beaches easily accessible. Three ground-floor rooms are pet-friendly, accommodating up to two dogs per room for an additional fee.

Pros

The secluded location within Buckfast Abbey's gardens provides peaceful surroundings.

Two superior rooms include private balconies with garden or courtyard views.

Pet-friendly rooms allow guests to bring dogs for an additional fee.

The on-site restaurant offers seasonal British dishes with vegetarian and vegan options.

Free parking and Wi-Fi are available throughout the property.

Cons

Some upper-floor rooms require lift access, which may inconvenience guests with heavy luggage.

The nearest train stations (Newton Abbot and Totnes) are a 20-minute drive away.

“Staying here means experiencing exceptional cleanliness and comfort, with many rooms offering peaceful Abbey views from private balconies. The staff are consistently helpful and welcoming. It's my opinion that the modern bathrooms, plentiful breakfasts, and on-site EV charging add genuine value to a stay in Buckfastleigh.”
