Hotels near Castle Ashby Gardens in Northampton

It's a beautiful space, i mean really beautiful - what they've managed to achieve is extraordinary and completely unlike anything within 40 miles. It's full of potential, and a very positive addition to the area that deserves to do extremely well. All the right ingredients are there, but they need time to bring them together. Making any judgement on a place that has been open for only 2 weeks and particularly in the current climate may be considered unfair, and there is nothing broken here, it's just some elements need rebalancing in my opinion. There's a difficult balancing act. It needs to be affordable enough to attract regulars, but special enough to justify the huge investment and feel like a destination. I'm sure they will find the right balance soon. The dictionary defines Eyas as a juvenile or untrained falcon. Based on our experience, i'd say that there is still some maturity to be realised. Dinner and drinks came to £250 per couple, which is London prices, and Michelin Starred London prices at that (and more than St Helena or Hibiscus, the nearest local comparisons i can think of). Having been lucky enough to go to quite a lot of good restaurants over the years, i'd say they have a little way to go. It's not bad, in fact i'd say the food is very good - the halibut was absolutely divine, the venison slightly underwhelming (although the ragu was superb!), and the desserts were phenomenal - tarte tatin was every bit as good as the one i had to wait 40 mins for at Gordon Ramsey. Mark is clearly an excellent chef, but the pricing simply doesn't match the quality of the food yet. £60 for 3 courses + sides (£7 each) is punchy. It's also somewhat incongruous. The sides are really pub sides, the wine list is very reasonable but can't decide if it's a pub list or a Michelin list - £14 for a 125ml of LPR on one end and then only £27 for a bottle of Primitivo on the other. Why produce lovely food menus and then give a cheap, laminated wine list? They seem to want the best of both worlds, but don't quite deliver on either. A few other small things rankled, but luckily all of them easily fixed. The service is not there yet - no one offered to take our coats when we came in and then only when i mentioned it, was mine taken, but not our other friends'. We waited an age to be asked for drinks, and then almost immediately food orders were taken and food arrived. If there were 2 sittings i'd understand, but for one 4-hour sitting, i feel they could have spread it out a bit. There was no signage in the hotel, so entirely unclear where to go when we came in, and when we left, there were no lights on in the garden, so we had to use phone torches to navigate back to the carpark. The cocktails were served in completely the wrong glasses - a martini should be served in a martini glass, not a wine glass. The main bar was also far too bright - a few lumens lower would have created a much cosier experience - it felt a little corporate,

Booked for two nights and left after one. On arrival the room had a random dirty fridge inside, no kettle, no mugs, no ironing board. In the morning I established that the shower had no head and the hotel was unable to provide an alternative. They also weren't able to provide the ironing board so I had to leave without a shower and with a creased shirt! Each time I was at reception others were complaining (hole in roof, soaking wet carpet, wrong rooms). When I checked out a day early the manager didn't seem overly bothered.

We stayed here for the night, had dinner as well as breakfast. The rooms are clean and well kept however the staff are indifferent and unwelcoming (aside from the cleaning staff). The owners son checked us in and wasn’t particularly welcoming. Neither of us can recall if he actually said hello. Either way, a cold reception. The bar staff are cold. Breakfast was a shambles. The young girl serving was really trying her best but is clearly being let down by management. No greeting on arrival. No clean glasses. A sorry looking cereal bar and we weren’t sure if the coffee cups were clean or not. For a B&B, you only have two things to get right but the breakfast experience is not being thought through. Upon check out, no one was around aside from what I assume was a female duty manager, who clearly doesn’t want to be there as there was zero engagement. Not the worst place I’ve stayed but doubt we’ll be back as you’re made to feel as if the customer is getting in the way. All in all a real shame because what you saw on TV is a million miles away from reality, especially when the owners son checks you in as cold as he does.

I stayed here for one night while attending a birthday party. It’s very convenient for the M1 and a quick getaway. I found the check in very simple and was asked to register my car which was done via screen. I was originally allocated a ground floor room which is my least favourite when travelling alone but this was swiftly changed to one on the first floor. My room was clean and fresh looking with tea and coffee facilities and a rail to hang my clothes and replete with removable/rehangable hangers. The TV worked, the towels were fluffy and white and the bathroom very clean and a good size. I had a very comfortable bed and a good nights sleep. I didn’t hear any noise/other guests. I can’t find any fault with my stay.I didn’t use any of the cafe/bar facilities. Note that there’s very little in the way of alternative restaurants etc in the immediate area.

We checked in here for 1 night using Booking.com ...it cost us £55 a night for 2 people ( no breakfast as we'd read previous reviews which weren't very complimentary) we'd added to booking for an accessible room as husband disabled. We arrived at Hotel about 6pm. Plenty of parking and disabled spaces. Hotel building accessible to wheelchair users and disabled toilet in reception. No lifts. When we checked in room was on 1st floor receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful and found us a room on the ground floor (room 43). The room was furthest away from reception which wouldn't be a problem for an able-bodied person but navigating suitcases and additional items needed for a person with disabilities (on a mobility scooter) through several doors was a bit awkward, but we were grateful for the ground floor room. The room was small maybe better suited for 1 person, but adequate for 1 night. Plenty of storage, TV, tea/coffee provided, no fridge, no AC but fan provided, windows open slightly, extra pillows/blanket, hairdryer, body/hair wash, bar of soap, towels provided. The bed was small (double) but a huge desk in the room which if was replaced by something smaller a larger queen/king sized bed could be fitted in. En-suite Shower with shower curtain, plenty of hot water, fixed head shower, adequate for me but totally inadequate for my husband who couldn't shower, no grab rails or shower seat. This hotel is lovely and the size of the rooms is reflected in the price. The whole hotel is absolutely spotless from reception to rooms (bed linen and towels good quality) carpets all look new, paintwork all fresh its a credit to the housekeepers. There is a large well stocked bar, with pool table, and also a cafe/restaurant which in my opinion was more aimed at catering for a student population, with a limited daily menu, (we didnt use it) again very clean. The staff we met on reception were extremely friendly, helpful and informative. Hotel is on a university campus dont follow sat nav postcode just follow the road straight round. Mitchell Hall on the left, not very well sign posted. Its in beautiful grounds and a 2 minute drive to the co-op and petrol station. We would return (but the hotel should offer accessible rooms, the room we had wasnt suitable for a wheelchair user ( we had to leave it outside the room door in the corridor) and there should be disabled bathroom facilities)

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.
