Clean, comfortable, stylish fresh room with classical music playing upon arrival. Nice touch. Bathroom products excellent. Staff all great ! Restaurant food, bar and courtyard including gardens all lovely. Convenient parking at rear. The hotel character and ambience. The town of Oundle is fab too.

Our first impressions were very good. We parked our car and walked down the path towards reception. We saw people sitting outside the dining room and bar areas and this sheltered area was very warm and sunny. We stayed in room 101 and it was the size of an apartment. Great views of the path described above and the road at the front of the hotel. Our welcome at reception was nice and we settled in to our room. We met friends who live locally and had lunch at the cafe a few doors down the road. We then retired to relax and met our friends again early evening in the bar. We had a drink then went to the Turkish restaurant next door. Superb. We had a good nights sleep and a lovely breakfast in the morning. We would recommend this hotel if you want to treat yourself to some luxury as well as a great location for exploring the area.

All good.

Room was very clean and comfortable, had tv, radio, alarm clock, iron and ironing board. Dinner was good with a good selection of dishes and wines. Loved the staircase from the bar to the first floor, originally part of Fotheringhay Castle and said to have the ring imprint from Mary Queen of Scots where she gripped the balustrade as she made her way to her execution. Didn't encounter any ghosts!!! Well worth staying and good value for money, would definitely stay again. Staff were all very welcoming and helpful.

Had a slight problem with the toilet flush. No plumber was available so the problem was solved with the offer to use another empty room's facilities but we chose to use the bar toilets which were just along the corridor from our room and it was only for one night so no real problem.

A fantastic stay at the most fantastic, picturesque location! What a charming hotel, located in the heart of picture-perfect English village. The hotel itself is well maintained, with a beautiful patio area and formal garden. The staff was very friendly - we felt welcome. Rooms are very nice, spacious enough and very clean. Amenities are good, including personal touches. Bathroom was spacious and clean as well. We had a room overlooking the patio, which was quiet. Beds were very goods - as well as the two cushions. Food was excellent; traditional English cuisine, very well made and fresh. Breakfast (partially à la carte) was very tasy. Wifi was good. We will for sure come back.

Only minor points; no airconditioning (although we had a good night's sleep at the end of July). As the hotel has no private parking, you have to find a spot on the street.

We had a nice bedroom, albeit quite snug, but the bathroom was fabulous, clearly recently refurbed with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Food was delicious, both breakfast and dinner. Good parking for the car and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

We asked for a quiet room and for some reason they chose a garden room. There was a wedding the next day of our visit and it was held in the banqueting room in the garden. Fortunately we somehow managed to sleep through any noise, but we feel the hotel should be obliged to inform people if there is a wedding booked during their stay.

Nice comfortable room with a large bed, good shower and good tea and coffee making facilities. There was a very good choice of breakfast, and it was all great quality. Probably the best thing about the hotel, apart from the lovely building itself, is the staff, all of whom could not have been friendlier or more helpful.

Although there is a car park for residents behind the hotel, it's way too small for the size of the hotel, so you have to often park further up the road. On the plus side, even if you have to do this, if you find a parking space, it's free.

Room was comfortable, bathroom was large and well equipped, shower was powerful. Restaurant was great, food of good quality and generous. The hotel was beautiful too, a lovely change from the concrete block school of architecture loved by some hotel chains.

My wife found the bed a little soft for her liking but it was fine for me. The hotel car park is quite small for the size of the hotel and some parking spaces are under trees, which people in-the-know avoid. When we got back late and had to park in one of those, the next morning our car was covered in sap, bird poo and twigs.

On arrival I was given the jug of oat milk I'd requested. There was decaff tea and coffee in the room, as asked for. The coffee maker was divine The room had great character - beams and lovely, squeaky floorboards. There was a bath, which was great as the toiletry supply was really generous. We each had very deep, bubbly baths The linen was top rate and the bed big and comfortable. The furnishings were classy. The building itself is full f history and a delight to be in. The cocktails were good. The whole atmosphere was perfect.

Noting! Maybe a few more staff would have been a good idea. The team worked very hard but they could have done with a few more colleagues.

I loved the location, it’s a quiet and lovely village. It did give me Cambridgeshire vibes. The property itself is amazing, decorated with taste and well maintained. I entered my room which was pre lit and had Classical music playing on the radio. It made me unwind so quickly. On Thursday mornings there’s a little market that’s worth a wander (accurate as of March 2025).

I arrived late and there was no parking spaces left. I had to park in a disabled bay, for which I felt guilty but according to the staff this was no trouble. Bear in mind spaces are tight and not easy to park when you don’t know the area in the middle of the night.

I had a wonderful, relaxing stay. There was a lovely atmosphere and all of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was exceptional. It was decorated beautifully and extremely spacious with a lovely outlook onto the courtyard and gardens. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice on the menu. Compliments to the chef. The hotel has a lovely ethos and feels like you’re in a small village upon entering with so much character. I’ll definitely be back again and bring family and friends.

Everything was excellent.
