Featured Hotels near Long Buckby & Brington Baptist Church, Daventry District

Stayed here one night due to bring in the local off for the day. In a nutshell, dated, overpriced and just plain weird in SO many ways. No central heating (clicky portable radiators!?!), overly soft mattress, hard/rough towels rusting and yellowed parts in dated bathroom. Only positive are the pleasant staff, modern well-lit entrance, bar and breakfast area which didn't even use. God knows why anyone would want their wedding here?!?! A bottle of water in room wouldn't go amiss too, sod the free biscuits.

Stayed here at the weekend with friends; lovely room, enjoyed the evening meal and a fab breakfast. Would recommend. The only downside was that there is a service charge payable on all drinks that you are not notified of. We queried our bar bill as it didn’t make sense and was told by a member of staff that on all purchases a 10% charge is payable. There is no signs up around the bar area notifying you of this. We were told that the staff are not allowed to tell you about this. To me that seems fraudulent. Surely you can’t be charged for something that you don’t know about every time you go up to the bar and purchase a drink? Not sure if the staff get this money or the company. If this is company policy are they breaking the law by not notifying you of this? Please be wary.

The rooms at the hotel are defo 5* unfortunately the service and food are not. I would like to state firstly that the staff are very nice and friendly The table service in the lounge for drinks is painfully slow and the drinks are pricey. We waited a long time from ordering to the actual drinks arriving. The food and the waiting on service however needs completely overhauling in my opinion We has an evening meal on the Saturday night. There were 13 of us in a very quite restaurant. The menu - we ate in the orangery- was very limited but I didn’t mind that as didn’t have to sit and decide for ages what I wanted. I plumped for the soup starter and the steak but there was a fair selection across the menu for the rest in my party (13 people). When the food arrived both starter and main took ages to come both courses were stone cold. We didn’t complain on the night as we were there celebrating someone’s birthday and didn’t want to make a scene. My steak was nice even though it was cold but my friend has sea bass that was cold and so overcooked that 75% of it was inedible. Anyway we all let that pass and finished off the evening which was quite flat as there was no atmosphere. No background music or anything. The next morning we all went to breakfast and again it was an absolute age before we were served. The continental aspect of the breakfast was a serve yourself affair but as we were near to last knocking there was next to nothing left and we had to ask for it to be replenished. When our cooked breakfast orders were finally taken we waited in anticipation. When they arrived which was not all together they were once again stone cold. There was also items missing which when we asked that said oh yes they are just being cooked and we will. Ring them out once they are ready. I mean! Why send out incomplete breakfasts? So I took a bite on my sausage to find it was cold and then felt the items which weee also cold. I sent it back - a replacement was bought out to me sometime later which once again was stone cold this time the mere was additional items missing which I was informed were being booked and would be bought to me once they were ready! Again an incomplete plate of food. The toast for the table bearing in mind there were 11 of us was 2 slices of brown bread cut in half!! We continually had to ask for more toast. This was also stone cold! Teas and coffees the same! One of our group has to explain the the waiter how to make an espresso! I did complain this time and we had the cost of the breakfast refunded to us. In summary when you go to a hotel charging the prices they charge you do expect at least a minimum level of service and food quality. This was not provided at Kilworth House and we left feeling very disappointed in our stay.

This is a village pub which does rooms and, like many country pubs, does really great food. I had had a terrific Sunday lunch here before I booked into their B&B and I have now stayed there a number of times. Although they call it a B&B rather than a hotel, the rooms are equipped to the standard of a budget hotel chain (spare pillows in the room, tea, coffee and fancy biscuits, TV with Freeview, comfortable mattress etc) but the room rate includes a breakfast sourced to the same high standard as the rest of their menu. There is, of course, a full English with sausages that clearly come from a local butcher, but also all the other options we have come to expect nowadays of a good breakfast menu such as smashed avocado on toast and vegetarian and vegan options. It's all cooked to order - only the cereals, fruit juices etc are on a self-serve buffet. If I had to find something they could improve on, it would be that the breakfast service can be a little slow if a number of people come down at the same time, but not to the point that it is problematic. Also, as a woman travelling alone, I would appreciate it if staff could make some gesture to let me know they have noticed me when I arrive at pub to check in or come down for breakfast. I know they know I'm there, but a quick smile or nod would stop me from feeling invisible as they busltle around me.

Liked · We stayed at this hotel last year and in our review we said that it was tired and needed to be updated. Well this has happened and the difference was very noticeable, the exterior was looking more cheery. The interior had been given a complete makeover from reception, bar/restaurant to the bedrooms. A fresh cooked breakfast to your liking is provided every morning and there is an option to have an evening meal, the menu is not extensive, however, what is available is of a very good standard and reasonably priced. All of the staff from check-in/out and during our stay were extremely pleasant and helpful. 15 minute walk into the city centre. Disliked · Perhaps upgrade of the double glazing.

Had arrived from the Hilton in Harrogate which was brilliant. Had high hopes for the brand when I arrived at this hotel. Walked in to reception and all I can say is appearances can be deceiving. Once you look past the chandeliers and flowers it’s evident this isn’t up to the usual Hilton standard. The first receptionist I spoke to was either shy or new. Very basic service, more time spent looking at the screen. Had to ask the usual questions, breakfast times/location:car parking payment etc.. Got told it was on my key card. That’s great but I’m asking you in person and having stayed at many hotels this is usually standard. The rooms are very basic and the hotel does need modernising. The receptionist kindly moved me (thank you Eva) as I could hear everything in the original room I was allocated, and the adjoining door between my room and the one next door didn’t seem to secure.. I found the family room I was given slightly more modern but the beds creaked awfully. Luckily I always take ear plugs. Bathrooms had those horrible shower heads that emit shed loads of spray, not ideal if you are trying not to get your hair wet and just have a wash. They do provide shower caps though. There is also a reminder to be vigilant with the shower curtain as the spray shower heads soak everything! Food in the restaurant was mediocre but prompt. Hilton prices without quality. Had the risotto which was essentially pea and cream, no taste of mint. It was a huge portion though and served quickly. Girls on service were very friendly but had to be reminded as to service. I was also given pudding without a spoon, had to go exploring as there were no staff to help find one. Pudding was bizarre, a lemon sponge thing on a bed of granola. Tasted like a dandelion. Had intended to use the gym, but to be honest I didn’t want to stay here longer than I needed to. In sum, not awful but not great. Standard no higher than a Holiday Inn, albeit they are more modern and don’t charge their guests for parking.
