Hotels in der Nähe von Billing Garden Store - Shaw Trust Garden Centre, Northampton

This is a magnificent and quite unique hotel - in the grounds of Castle Ashby estate. The entire environment and decor is restful and relaxing. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is healthy and delicious. This was our second stay and we are already planning our return. Open water swim and yoga were enjoyable and reviving. Definitely worth a stay - if you are UK resident you will wonder why you've never visited Northamptonshire before - if you're from abroad this is a magical part of the UK. And the Palace Gardens (Capability Brown designed) are absolutely magnificent with free entry for hotel guests - a day out in themselves.

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.

Really easy when checking in, staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though we had booked without breakfast, they still gave us all the times in case we changed our mind as well as the times for the food and the bar. The room was clean and just what we needed for a getaway. Plenty of space and it had really good space to store our belongings away. Good amount of plugs, especially having one either side of the bed. Bathroom was clean and a really good size. Wifi was included, which made it more appealing as usually when we go away we have to pay extra!

Wen man günstig unterwegs sein will und zufrieden ist mit Haaren im Bad und auf der Bettwäsche, dann ist das Holiday Inn bestens geeignet. Preisleistung, auch wenn es eher im günstigen Bereich lag -katastrophe. Und das meine ich nicht abwertend, dass hat das Holiday Inn Reinigungsteam bereits selber getan. Wir führen selber ein Guest House und wissen wie es ist die Qualität hochstehend zu halten und trotzdem die Zimmer in einer nützlichen Frist reinigen zu müssen (Check out / Check in), aber Haare, kann passieren ja, aber nicht an 4 verschiedenen Orten im Zimmer. Dass ist nicht einfach ein «Missgeschick» sondern ein Mangel welcher vom Qualitätsmanagement angesprochen werden muss. Man konnte die Motivation des Reinigung-/ Zimmervorbereitung Teams auch an der Art und Weise wie die Tees, Milch und Biskuits präsentiert waren beurteilen. Ich verlange nicht mit rotem Teppich und Lindt Schokolade empfangen zu werden, aber man darf die Sachen so hinstellen, dass es zumindest eine Falle macht. Würden wir nie mehr buchen, da lohnt es sich £10-20 mehr zu bezahlen und man fühlt sich wohl. Geschlafen haben wir gut, das Personal war sehr freundlich. Gegenüber war ein Restaurant. Genug Parkplätze standen zur Verfügung.

Stayed here for a couple of nights and it was great. Spacious room with a fridge and safe nice big tv also a digital radio and a very good aircon unit to keep things cool in the heat.

Very quiet considering it's right next to the A14, i didn't hear anything from the traffic. Supported by a Starbucks and a Petrol station. The hotel was great the staff were all very helpful and happy to help with any questions i had. Clean towels, tea, coffee, milk refills means that you could stay there without going anywhere if you wanted to just chill out on your own. With a TV and my crime magazine i was happy to chill in the evening. Would be really happy to book this hotel again in the future.

Hier am Wochenende mit Freunden geblieben; schönes Zimmer, genießen Sie das Abendessen und ein Fab Frühstück. Ich empfehle es. Der einzige Nebeneffekt war, dass für alle Getränke, die Sie nicht angemeldet haben, eine Servicegebühr zu zahlen ist. Wir haben unsere Bar-Gebühr angefordert, weil es nicht sinnvoll war und wurde von einem Mitarbeiter gesagt, dass bei allen Kaufen eine 10%-Gebühr zu zahlen ist. Es gibt keine Anzeigen um die Bar-Zone, die Sie davon informieren. Wir wurden gesagt, dass das Personal nicht erlaubt ist, Ihnen darüber zu sagen. Für mich scheint es betrügerisch. Sicherlich können Sie nicht für etwas beschuldigt werden, das Sie nicht über jedes Mal, wenn Sie zur Bar gehen und einen Drink kaufen? Wenn das Unternehmens-Politik ist, brechen sie das Gesetz durch nicht zu informieren? Bitte beachten Sie.

Dies war eine Last-Minute-Buchung, kam buchstäblich im Hotel an und stürzte ab und wachte früh am Morgen auf und war draußen. Ich habe das Hotel nicht wirklich ausgecheckt, aber den Job gemacht. Oh und ihr Frühstück ist gut.
