Overpriced when they do have stock which is almost never.

Amazing hotel. The staff were fantastic, really friendly and helpful. Food was great, my girlfriend and I both had the chicken Kiev it was lovely. Hotel was immaculate. Great little touches with sleeping sprays and ambient music from the radio. Overall fantastic stay and will definitely return. Thank you

Six of us had lunch here for a family get together. Food included fish and chips, burger, pie mash and greens and a steak sandwich. We had joined the Butcombe loyalty scheme beforehand so benefitted from the 25% discount on food available on Wednesdays. The servers were efficient and friendly and added to our enjoyment of the very good food. The bill attracts a 10% service charge. Drink prices, in common with nearby Butcombe pubs, are high. You might get a 25% discount on food but pay a 15% surcharge on drinks compared to other local pubs. Half a Peroni £3.40 so £6.80 a pint or almost £7.50 including service. The standard Butcombe Original £5.25 compared with £4.60 in some Bath pubs. Clientele were with one exception of retirement age. Overall we had an enjoyable lunch and would return for the food. We would go elsewhere if we were planning to have a few drinks!

Recently renovated and nicely done. The staff were wonderful, the food and drink was good, if a little pricey. Would visit again if we were in the area.

Our 2 rooms were clean, modern and the parking outside the property was perfect and one of the most important factors in choosing this accommodation to meet up with friends. The staff were friendly, efficient and the food was exceptional. One member of the group had specific dietary requirements which were met with no problem. (Breakfast and lunch menu's) Negatives.... Too many automated emails about the check in and check out process AND failed to have replies to TWO emails and TWO phone calls which were made days before our stay to enquire about an early check in. Literally un-contactable by email and phone and lacked the personal touch. Having said that, I would stay again because the staff and rooms were fabulous!

The Northey has had a revamp and it is delightful. Much better layout and even the staff are happier with their work place. Not only that the food was greatly improved with more vegetarian options. We have been here quite often living near by and we will use it more often. My husband said his venison was some of the best he?d ever had and my parsnip soup was scrumptious . I had a small fish and chips which was delicious in every way. Well done everyone at the Northey, you?ve nailed it!

Lovely lunch with family. Limited vegetarian options but the beetroot risotto was lovely. Nice to have an extensive pudding menu with option for smaller portions. Staff were lovely and welcoming.

Disappointed after I had heard good things about this place after the referb, but a lot on the menu was not available, as they had run out of chicken. What food we did eventually get was excellent, but the service was terrible. Real shame.

Me and my family were here on Boxing Day without any booking and were just wowed at what incredibly friendly staff and service we received. You could see how how busy the girls were attending to each and every customers needs yet they did a fantastic job and went above and beyond. I had to ask their names before we left to make sure they both get the credit they deserved working so so hard. Thank you to Lucy and Sophie who made our family Boxing Day very special. I hope you get some well deserved time with yours. Merry Christmas everyone.

We are regulars at my wife?s favourite pub. The pub has recently had a lovely interior refit and the venue looks amazing. Our food was presented well on the plates. My wife?s soup was hot and very tasty. I had the gnocchi with squash and kale. It was an interesting plate of food. All the elements were perfectly cooked. A lovely mix of textures and taste. Nicely poured pint of Guinness, as well. Friendly and helpful staff on hand. Great place to eat.

We stayed here for 2 nights over the weekend as we were going into Bath for the Christmas Market. We stayed in Avon, which is a stunning room. The refurbishment is wonderful. The room looks stylish, very clean, comfy bed and the cafetiere and proper coffee was a lovely touch. We also really liked how the radio was set to relaxing music when we arrived...it added to the atmosphere. This room had a wonderful terrace balcony which we barely used because it was freezing cold, but it looks lovely. We have stayed in many 5 star boutique b&bs all around the UK and this room is definitely on par with this level. We were a little worried about the noise from the pub/restaurant below, but it was barely audible 90% of the time. The only time it was very loud in the room was when there was live music on the Saturday night. Perhaps a warning to guests would be good because we weren't expecting it to be as loud in the room as it was on Saturday evening. The bed was literally vibrating from the loud bass. This did however stop at 9pm, so it didn't go on late. So not much of a problem, just slightly annoying. The staff were all so lovely, friendly and helpful. Particularly the blonde lady serving breakfast etc the morning we checked out (3rd December). She was so lovely...big praise for her. Location wise, Its only 15mins from Bath and we took an uber in and out to save from hassle parking in the city centre. The whole place is such a beautiful looking country building. It looks so inviting and peaceful. Our only negative, was the food needs a little work on quality control. We were served burnt toast at breakfast and my burger bun at dinner was burnt. My husbands venison was also quite tough. Mostly, the food was good and has the potential to be top notch, but the little things that should be picked up before sending a dish aren't quite being noticed yet. However, the biscoff donuts are AMAZING! Overall a great stay in a wonderful cosy place.

Superb every time. After 10+ visits the Northly always meets my expectations and more. Everything is just want you want. Food, hospitality and environment. I can?t even write names every single member of the team always delivers. They never have a bad day, rude or anything else. They meet you with a smile and warm welcome. Maddy you have a great team ??

The Northey Arms looked beautiful tonight after a full refurbishment. We could believe the difference. Warm and cosy with great service. My sea bass fillets with potted shrimps, charred leeks and new potatoes was delicious. How lucky are we to have this pub as our local x
