4 stars Hotels in Northamptonshire

I recently spent a weekend at Fawsley Hall as I was attending a function in the local area and it was recommended to us. The recommendation did come with a caveat..,"it's expensive". Actually, it's not that bad. The room rate included full access to the spa facilities which were of a good standard. The hotel is well presented, steeped in history and definitely has a wow factor. The staff were attentive, very polite and professional. If I had some advice for the management team at Fawsley it would be: 1. The food wasn't great, and it was very expensive for the quality. I expected better. If your going to charge prices higher than local competitors then you have to at least compete on a quality level. If the quality is good, locally sourced and delivers on taste then you can charge what you want and people will pay it, praise it and return. Don't let a simple thing like that be a reason for negative comments when there's a straightforward resolution. 2. Get rid of that ridiculous 'discretional service charge' on everything, that we all feel obliged to pay and very british not to question. The hotel is lovely and your staff are excellent but I don't want discretionary service charges applied to everything. Be confident in your base pricing and the quality you offer. If your staff perform a service above and beyond (which I personally experienced) then any decent person would happily show there appreciation. Please don't make people feel 'obliged' and then resentful. Thanks.

Hotel had very warm and cosie feeling. Hotel facilities were very nice and staff were very friendly

Two of us booked in but the room appeared to be set up for one person. Reception was easy, helpful and courteous. The bed was really comfortable and the room was quiet. All was sparkling clean and well tended. Breakfast was excellent but bar prices were high. Parking was good and the hotel was set in lovely grounds.
