Northamptonshire Hotels

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.

Helpful staff, nice bar and restaurant. Room very comfortable.

The room was south bigger than we had imagined and very clean. It was very comfortable too. The bath was a little small and the noise from the pub in the evening was quite loud from our room but as we were at a wedding we didn't mind too much. Lovely pub and the breakfast was great too.

Room very comfortable. Although there wer four wedding receptions we did not experience any inconvenience.

If you want a mixture classic history and modern luxury then this is is a great choice. The staff were welcoming and friendly.The lounge area was great to chill out and the restaurant was a good choice for a meal in.The pictures online don't do it justice really.

lovely room, high standard of cleanliness. good reasonable food. staff very friendly and helpful. One tiny negative, is that there is no covered wardrobe in the room, there was just a rack for you to hang your clothes on, and although I didn't take much there just wasn't enough space for my clothes. Don't know how we would have managed if there had been two people sharing the room instead of just me, but all in all a really nice hotel.

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

The room was clean. Had easily controllable under floor heating. Bath and a shower in the bathroom. There is a great restaurant with fantastic food.

Amazing experience. had a few drink in the bar area with my partner all staff are friendly.
