You can see the town in less than an hour. It takes longer to get out of the place with the bus service. Both fastfood chains remained hot from takeaway to hotel on a cold night though, which was impressive. Also impressive to see a refill shop in such a small town.

My Mum and step dad have lived in Buckfastleigh for 27 years and I have lived there from time to time myself. It's changed very little over the years, some of the shops have changed hands or gone altogether but it is pretty much the same as it's always been.

Buckfastleigh is a quaint village on the Southern edge of Dartmoor, literally just off the A38. Of no exception. It has two main attractions, Buckfast Abbey and the South Devon Railway. The Abbey has an exceptional restaurant / refectory and the railway has a cafe. It has one service station and a quiet high street with a fish and chip shop (not a restaurant). I must admit the high street was a little short on eateries. There is a pub on route to the Abbey called Abbey Inn (no association). They serve reasonable food and drinks. The place is clean and tidy, but has no aires and graces. It has a seating area that over looks the River Dart. The pub has a small car park and a steep path leading down to the pub entrance. Buckfastleigh is 10 miles West of Bovey Tracy where you can find the Marble Museum (glass blowing) and Trago Mill (a shoppers paradise).

Not much there in nearby Buckfastleigh but it has old character. Just a narrow one way road with a few shops and cafe's. There is an old pub museum worth a visit. Buckfast Abbey is well worth a visit. It is a fabulous building and is just a very short walk from the hotel

Well situated for the activities we had planned. Hotel staff very friendly and offered a super service without intruding. Will certainly use this hotel as first choice when in this part of Devon. Thankyou

Great Hotel. Just right for us as a stop off on route to Plymouth. We wanted a hotel with a car park that served a good breakfast and Northgate house was perfect. We visited the village to find a fish and chip shop. The Jolly Rogers was great but the cafe is not used now it is just a takeaway. The public car park iin the village is free after 6 pm if that helps anyone.
