Hotel berhampiran Millers Meadow, Northampton

Attended a meeting at the Delta hotel, we use it a lot as a business for meetings, today we had lunch too. My dietary requirements make it more difficult to eat out, today however, I had a lovely cooked meal and even dessert without gluten, dairy or any seed oils used as either ingredient or part of the cooking process. Wonderful staff took time to check before arrival on needs, check timings on the day and ensure my food was warm and fresh! I really really appreciated the efforts, it has made my day!

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.

Staff are lovely, welcoming.and very helpful. Food tastes delicious. Hotel is kept very clean. Loved it, thank you

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!

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.

Usually you know what your getting with a Travelodge - but I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic service and had the honour to be greeted by the lovely John on check in! He was incredibly friendly and helpful, recommending the nearby restaurants and how to get to them. We had a lovely chat and I went up to my room with a smile on my face. I'd stay again just to have another chat with him! The rooms were also very clean and it was very quiet even despite being on the main road. There's a great selection of restaurants and shops nearby and a lovely view of the lakes just down the footpath. I stay in similar hotels nearly every weekend for work and this was one of the nicest experiences I've had!
