Convenient for the event, but the hotel needs updating
Pros:

It was close to Sywell Aerodrome in a quiet location with plenty of parking

Cons:

The room was dusty, the hotel felt quite run down and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned to a good standard. There was noticeable limescale and grime around the bath and sink taps and the shower curtain had an unpleasant smell.

Good but not returning. Let down by breakfast.
Pros:

Location for our purpose was excellent. First impressions was oh old property. However step inside and it is really nice. The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly and seemed genuinely happy people. The bar is a nice area with some old yet comfy sofas. The restaurant is lovely and the menu varied enough for almost anyone. Service for dinner was great and the food was excellent. I had the standard fish and chips and it was the best. My wife had the Han egg and chips and was happy with it. Bedrooms were fine so no complaints. Car parking is great. Repeat the staff on duty are first class.

Cons:

I can only comment on my experience and breakfast was a let down compared to dinner. I ordered only bacon-sausage and egg with brown toast and butter. First query was is this butter and told they hard runout of the “normal” butter and were serving this which looked and tasted like an imitation spread. It was yuk. Sausages undercooked by a mile and eggs swimming in something unknown. You had to make your own tea and or coffee which is not good for the price charged.

World's End Pub Ecton
Pros:

Very clean & comfortable room Staff very helpful & enjoyed a lovely cooked breakfast.

Cons:

Little bit in disparity of price paid having spoken to other guests. Breakfast choice is limited as in no yogurts and fruits if that is what you like.

Pros:

Breakfast was excellent and staff were friendly

Cons:

It's not a dislike, more of a suggestion. The weekend we stayed is the same weekend as a large walking event in nearby Wellingborough. There is barely anywhere to stay in Wellingborough, which is why we stayed here. For this weekend, it may be worth starting breakfast earlier/allowing pre-orders? We thought it was an excellent stay so will be staying there next year and recommending it to other walkers.

Pros:

They accept blue light holders which means we got 2 for one on meals and they were nice 🙂
The staff were helpful and the area was quite enough

Would stay again

Cons:

The blinds in our room didn't black out the room and with an early rising spring sun it was a little difficult for extra sleep time
Wafer thin walls could hear conversations from others also from ealy

Good value room including breakfast
Pros:

Good value for room including breakfast .
Excellent breakfast ( non buffet).
Ate there in the evening and food was very good.

Cons:

No curtains in bedroom , only venetian blinds which made it difficult to open the window and allowed more light in. Therefore woken early as too much light in the room.
Excellent breakfast let down by having no marmalade !

Great location.
Pros:

Great location and the breakfast was very good. Staff in the restaurant for breakfast were very helpful.

Cons:

The bed was very soft and uncomfortable. Check in was a little slow, appreciate that the receptionist was on the phone when we arrived, yet two other staff behind the counter didn’t even acknowledge us or explain we needed to wait.

Be aware that there is no food on a Sunday evening and the bar area closes at 7pm

Pros:

The staff was friendly

Cons:

The shower was very cold but everything else was good we told a member of staff and they said there was no other rooms available so we could not have a shower which was disappointing

Great!
Pros:

Good location near to an event I was attending in Billing

Lovely evening meal and breakfast. Very good quality.

Superb friendly and very helpful staff. My shower wasn’t working in the morning and they went out of there to help me get a shower quickly in another room and then whilst I was at my event, they moved me to another room.

Cons:

Quite expensive at £195 for the two nights B&B given there was only me in the room. This was the same price my friends paid for two of them in one room B&B. Shame they done reduce the price for one guest B&B.
