What guests think

Northover Manor Hotel draws consistent praise for its friendly, welcoming staff, quiet village setting with ample parking, and comfortable, clean rooms, while many guests also enjoy the on-site restaurant’s good quality meals and generally satisfying breakfasts.

Some reviews note small or dated rooms, occasional road noise, warm rooms with limited ventilation, and maintenance issues such as stiff shower controls, a loose toilet, or intermittent bathroom electrics. A few guests mention early or limited dining hours, a less atmospheric dining space, and breakfast value not always matching expectations. A solid choice for a relaxed, short stay in the area.

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.

Comfortable, quiet and well equipped room. Nice dining facilities. Spacious car park. Lengthy checkout after I pointed out that dinner had not been included!

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.

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.

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

Had an enjoyable stay, the room was a little smaller than anticipated with not a great view onto a roof! Had booked for the restaurant but the menu wasn't particularly exciting & the dining not very inviting so cancelled the reservation & ate elsewhere. That apart it was a comfortable & convenient stay.

Random internet search found this place while we were between homes. Everybody in the hotel was so friendly and this made the stay really enjoyable. 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.
