The accommodation and location was perfect

Breakfast first morning wasn’t up to scratch and I believe the food I had from the bar gave myself and partner food poisoning and we ended up missing my cousins 30th birthday party.

Good looking bedroom, comfortable bed, nice bathroom (with reservations). Great food in the bar (but had to wait 30 minutes for it because bar staff overrun). Very comfortable public rooms. Good location next to A! and absolutely quiet from road noise.

TV didn't work fully - restricted stations - even moved rooms to be able to see something we particularly wanted to see, and then moved back when we found the TV in the second room was as bad, No ventilation in the bathroom and no shaver socket. One member of staff at the bar taking drinks and food orders is not enough on a Friday evening, especially when wedding guests are arriving for the following day (they went elsewhere).

Beautifully restored hotel, well appointed rooms and bathrooms with comfortable beds, quality lines and airconditioning. Gardens of hotel are beautiful. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We booked a rate inclusive of breakfast and were happy with the cooked breakfast options. Evening meals were well presented with a good variety. Parking on either street or hotel was readily available. WIFI worked well. Prices for rooms were a little on the high side, however I appreciated the cost of maintaining older buildings in such wonderful condition.

The coiled cord on the hairdryer was a little short to allow access to a mirror in one of the two rooms we stayed in.

Obviously recently renovated and the staff were clearly well trained, friendly but appropriate,and helpful. A minor issue with the curtains when we were shown to our room was dealt with by the next day. And,yes, you get shown to your room - a courtesy often lacking in hotels these days! The room (double with a private terrace) Was clean and comfortable, no noise from other rooms. Lovely rain-shower! The gardens are in the process of being re-landscaped but still pleasant and a lovely river walk.

There was nothing to dislike. However, we stayed for two nights to attend a wedding and, although the venue for the wedding, including a secluded garden and courtyard is very separate to the rest of the building, inevitably many of the rooms housed wedding guests. You may want to check that before booking if it would annoy you

We had the 8 course tasting menu at Le Prevost which was amazing; be prepared for a lovely unhurried experience...we were the last to leave after this three hour dinner! Breakfast was exceptional; lots of choice with quality ingredients. The staff are all cheerful, efficient, helpful and knowledgable. We were shown around the building the morning of our departure; the staff were obviously very enthusiastic about the new cookery school that is being set up. Everywhere was exceptionally clean and well presented.

Some of the bedroom decor seemed a bit out of place in such an old building. Not a bit gripe but we hadn't realised there was a separate temperature control on the bath water which was also controlling the shower, a note somewhere might have been helpful as it wasn't obvious.

Beautiful hotel in a lovely location. We had lunch in the restaurant on our arrival. The service was good and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a lovely garden patio room. Lots of hanging and drawer space. Lovely large bathroom with walk-in shower. Would definitely stay again.

I stayed at this hotel over 30 years ago and had the opportunity to revisit for New Year's Eve with friends from my recommendation. We were not disappointed, and much of the decor, etc. has changed, but the Haycock hotel was still full of opulence and grandure. In particular, the Christmas decorations were absolutely beautiful. The welcome, service, and attention to detail are superb. The rooms full of character, in particular, the Evelyn suite, was wonderful. I could not fault this hotel. Our stay was simply wonderful. Thankyou to the staff who worked hard to make our stay memorable.

Nothing.

Excellent dinner and breakfast. Staff were also very good and professional. Rooms were first class

Had to wait until 5.30pm for rooms to be ready. The telephone call from the Hotel made no mention of any delays. Had we known we could have used the time better on our journey to the hotel.

We loved the instant warm welcome, especially from the girls serving behind the bar who are a credit to the hotel. The hotel is beautiful with an old country house feel to it with very comfortable furnishings. Located in a picturesque and quiet village but easily located just off the A47/A1. Our room was fabulous and spacious, bed was super comfy and the bath robes were a bonus luxury. The service and food are first class and delicious. We will definitely be returning, highly recommended.

We couldn't fault it.

Hotel is lovely - foods amazing , however more staff needed in bar area - tables not cleaned and only 1 person behind bar both days - he was very good but poor guy was on his own - everyone waiting ages to be served . I can never understand why don't employ extra staff for busy hours - what they pay per hour .1 round of drinks or couple bottles of wine would cover the costs - they must miss out on drink and food sales as peoole give up waiting . Or be nice if staff member came outside to seating area tables to take order for more drinks . If ordered a round of cocktails no chance as only 1 person you'd be waiting for ever - otherwise def recommend hotel if in the area to visit stamford or oundle or fotheringhay all lovely .

Waiting for bar service - however breakfast and restaurant service was excellent
