    Very nice full vegetarian breakfast which I was only able to enjoy for one morning as I had an ultrasound the next day, then an early train.

    Very traditional place with lovely decor. Great character to the building & you know you are in a family run place, rather than a chain. It’s run by a mother & daughter & they are very caring & helpful. They are great to chat to if there is...

    It’s a quaint old fashioned hotel but with all the facilities you need. As I went into my room the first thing I noticed was the smell of fresh laundry and everything though old was spotless. A mother and daughter team run this home from home...

    I liked the warm welcome from both mother and daughter. Ms M at her age is very warm and welcoming and graceful. There was history within the property and I liked the Scottish heritage.

We opened this small private hotel in 1975 and have dedicated all these years to looking after our guests and making sure they are happy. You are invited to stay in this Victorian building with its Coach House Annexe and experience the friendly service and comfortable accommodation. We provide a delicious breakfast and have a small off road car park. Just to let you know, we will be wearing masks for the foreseeable future and would be grateful if our guests could also wear a mask when booking in. Thank you.
We enjoy meeting so many people from all over the world. My daughter Jacqueline is an artist who has illustrated many Children’s books and portraits and has also been a Harrods artist since 2007. We work together to provide a home from home experience for our guests.
We are ideally positioned in Kettering as we are a comfortable walking distance from Wicksteed Park, the town centre with all its restaurants and amenities and the railway station.
