£199—Coastal Somerset mini break w/dinner both nights

The hotel was full but the staff still made an effort to make us feel valued. The pool is always an added bonus. Dinner was good and the breakfast was excellent.

The hotel has superb gardens and is within easy reach of the sea front, public gardens and main shopping street.

Being disabled the room on the 2nd floor was a challenge. The cold water was stitched off overnight on both nights Staff were lovely.

Grrat place, nice beds, good shower. Bar not too expensive super food.

Good size bedroom and clean . Food was good in the evening and breakfast was fair . Took along time to come and you needed to make own toast which was then cold when eggs arrived. Staff were friendly and helpful. Position to town great . Would be lovely in summer to sit in garden with a drink . Bedroom furniture tired.

Absolutely great - spacious room and wonderful dinner

Extremely pleasant and relaxing with friends we had not seen since Christmas.

Friendly and efficient staff who bent over backwards to help.Food was good ,pool was good.Everything was good

It's in a good location an the room and bathroom were excellent, There is a very nice garden with seats and a terrace overlooking art of it. We enjoyed our cooked breakfasts and the afternoon tea on the Monday pm. We don't usually take our dog but as this was an option we brought him. That went very well and he was as good as gold and seemed to enjoy the break.

Our only disappointment was the lift was erratic as at times it was not operational. This was a bit of a nuisance for me as my mobility is not too good.

Unfortunately there was a dog in the next room to us which barked at 6.30am both mornings. When I spoke to Reception I was told that all dogs were put on the first floor. So why were we put there?

Apart from the dog issue it was very good.

Fabulous "proper" hotel. If I said old fashioned it's meant in a positive way. The staff are like friends, so welcoming, every one of them. The food was delicious. The rooms need a little TLC but who cares, a slightly worn arm on an armchair certainly didn't detract from a lovely relaxing stay in a perfectly situated 'old fashioned' hotel

As hotels should be

Great location, staff are super helpful, lovely meals

small comfortable room with walk in shower which we requested (shower not room) Breakfast was good. TV signal affected by tidal movements so certain channels often not available

Lovely old hotel, food was excellent

Lovely few days at the hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfasts good quality.

Room , right next to a very noisy boiler which was on from 5.15am till 11pm

All very good. Staff friendly and excellent service. Only downside is that the building is a little tired. Quite a few fixtures and fitting broken and waiting repairs. But it is a big old building.

We came with our friends and as on our previous visit were made to feel very welcome, great food and very friendly but professional. Will be returning at some stage.

Very good with our dog, especially the beach. Minehead, Dunster & Watchet a bit quiet in the week in Feb

All good

The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable with lovely deep armchairs to relax in. The king sized bed was very comfy. The dinner was delicious and well presented and there was a good choice for breakfast .

Such a happy atmosphere. Staff are absolutely wonderful and so helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Food excellent. Special thanks to Tracy, Alison and their super Manager Monique T. Thankyou all for making our stay so lovely. Hope to return on the Autumn with our little Border Terrier again.

Exceptional.

Extremely warm and welcoming staff , lovely dinning area, bar etc and the food was faultless! Highly recommend this hotel and we hope to be back in the future

Old fashioned but comfortable hotel. Accommodation adaqute. Friendly staff. Highlight was the food - excellent.

Very enjoyable visit. Minehead is not a top location but the surrounding areas make up for it. One negative point. The tiny TV just bigger than an A4 piece of paper they have to better than that!

This was our 5th visit to the Northfield. The staff are always welcoming and pleasant. The inclusive evening meals are excellent and the table service breakfast is well organised. How do they do it for the price? The bedrooms are clean and tidy and in keeping with the Victorian feel of the rest of the hotel. Rooms are warm even at the beginning of February. The pool and jaccussi were warm too. We were given a free upgrade without requesting one so spent the night in a large bedroom with a chaise loungue (?) set in the bay window. There are several options for walks - in the grounds, the parrk closeby, the woodland and nature reserve as well as the old harbour area, seafront and town centre. In season, a trip on the steam railway is a treat. Basically, The Northfield is like a home from home and we look forward to each visit.

great

Great location, free carpark, calm friendly staff

We enjoyed our stay although was quite hot Indiside especially dining room.

Music too loud in breakfast room suggest light classical.

A pre Christmas break .Very enjoyable with very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and tasty evening meal. Warm and welcoming hotel.

Had a lovely stay food very good staff very helpful would recommend this hotel

Been several times now, lovely friendly hotel, food and leisure activities excellent. Location perfect for both sea front and town centre.

Nice hotel

The location is ideal for walking into town or the seafront. I stayed 6yrs ago and things have changed slightly. Breakfast buffet could be better. Having to give 24hrs notice for a cream tea isn't always possible. The public areas have been improved and are nice to sit and relax in. It's good that they accept dogs. The pool is a plus. Small changes would make it better if I was to stay again. It's still a nice hotel to stay in

It's a bit old fashioned but we had a lovely time. Great location food was nice.

The location was great so you could walk into the town easily at night.

When we booked we wanted to pay £240 extra for a deluxe sea view room, impossible to get them to confirm upgrade, eventually rang and spoke to manager who emailed confirmation of upgrade but when we got there we didn't have that room because there was a coach party there. The room they gave us was 2nd floor end of corridor where there were really noisy pipes from 6.30am to 10.45pm and the room was really hot. They did move us when the coach party left to a sea view room but windows impossible to open and close, couldn't get shower to produce hot water on shower setting only through the tap. Bathroom not clean, black mould round toilet lid, water overflow in sink and bath, and tiles. Edges of room dirty and dusty, not cleaned. Didn't service room first day, had to ask for milk, etc. When they did then service it just replaced milk, etc and towels, sink was never wiped down as it usually is during service. Only cereals on offer in big jars were cornflakes and rice crispies. Fruit salad and yogurt where very nice, but no real alternative if you didn't want cooked breakfast. Cooked breakfast items were only just warm, boiled eggs came hard boiled. Heating wasn't put on in the hotel, but they did put a plug in heater in the room. Lounge was cold when the weather changed a few days in, hardly anyone in it, so cold and no atmosphere. Food in evening very limited choice and mostly poor, braised meat or chicken and dry. Again never very hot. Wanted you to order dessert before 8pm. Felt rushed both at breakfast and dinner, but they did improve this when we mentioned how we felt. On our last night we asked if we could pay to have something off the bar menu but eat in the dining room because the lounge was cold and no one else ate there but we were told that we couldn't. Feel that without paying for upgrades rooms Travel Zoo customers get the worst rooms, and did even though we wanted to pay to upgrade. We weren't charged for an upgraded room. Even on checking out they had charged £29 for a bottle of £22 wine that we had, despite no bottle on the wine list was £29. The most expensive was £26. The management need to sort out the way the hotel is being run. Unless you going there on on a coach trip.

Lovely large bedroom with wonderful sea views. Great location, easy walk through the park to the town.

Staff were very friendly and the chef was superb!

Friendly welcome at reception, all staff smiling & respectful. Quiet location, spacious car park & gardens. Lots of spaces on ground floor to sit & read. Across the road can get to Blenheim Gardens easily. Comfortable, clean light & airy room, clean & modern bathroom with great shower, plenty of plug sockets in bedroom, plentiful tea /coffee hot chocolate in room. Would highly recommend

Will certainly be going back

It was our second visit to the Northfield Hotel with Travelzoo as we loved it do much the 1st time the only disappointment this time was we're in a room and the view from the room was a fire escape whereas last time we had a view of the sea on departure we mentioned it to the receptionist and she said next time tell them we don't want room 2 and gave us a couple of alternatives. We were staying there for my birthday so paid extra to stay the Friday and Saturday night army birthday was on the Saturday and we wanted the meal on the Saturday as well which was absolutely beautiful. The breakfast had a great choice of continental choices whereas my husband had the cooked breakfast. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly and the hotel grounds were a short walk to the seafront. We would definitely look forward to staying with them again.

A great find.

Continental breakfast could have been better with more fresh fruit

The Hotel was okay a little dated although in the process of upgrading to be fair. It wss disappointeing that the Spa was out of order. Plenty of choice for breakfast items.

Everything went well, we enjoyed our meal and staff very accommodating.
