The pub was supposed to shut at 11 but Karaoke was still happening at 1.30 AM, it was so loud and no thoughts for hotel guests at all it was impossible to sleep even with ear plugs. I was also locked in the pub in the morning so couldn't get out and had to find the keys

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is a disgrace and certainly not a place a solo female traveller should stay in. Apart from isolation and security issues theres no phone in the bed room, no WiFi and I had no cell phone signal (ee). Alss there was no emergency contact. There's no food available even tho the web site shows a menu. The nearest supermarket is 5 miles away. And to cap it all I found a set of keys to my room clearly labeled with the no. on a window sill outside. I was the only resident and felt extremely vulnerable. Despite 3 emails ( via Hotels.com site I have had no response.

Located in pretty village full of honey-coloured stone 5 miles from Towcester. Rooms are over pub which is closed Mondays & doesn't do evening meals tho' you do get free run of the kitchens & a nice continental breakfast with hot pastries. Food can be bought in village shop or takeways ordered from Towcester (Mughal House particularly recommended). Very reasonably priced: £125 for 2 nights including breakfast.
