Hotels Near Buckby Library & Hub in Daventry District

This is a village pub which does rooms and, like many country pubs, does really great food. I had had a terrific Sunday lunch here before I booked into their B&B and I have now stayed there a number of times. Although they call it a B&B rather than a hotel, the rooms are equipped to the standard of a budget hotel chain (spare pillows in the room, tea, coffee and fancy biscuits, TV with Freeview, comfortable mattress etc) but the room rate includes a breakfast sourced to the same high standard as the rest of their menu. There is, of course, a full English with sausages that clearly come from a local butcher, but also all the other options we have come to expect nowadays of a good breakfast menu such as smashed avocado on toast and vegetarian and vegan options. It's all cooked to order - only the cereals, fruit juices etc are on a self-serve buffet. If I had to find something they could improve on, it would be that the breakfast service can be a little slow if a number of people come down at the same time, but not to the point that it is problematic. Also, as a woman travelling alone, I would appreciate it if staff could make some gesture to let me know they have noticed me when I arrive at pub to check in or come down for breakfast. I know they know I'm there, but a quick smile or nod would stop me from feeling invisible as they busltle around me.

he issue that I have experienced was: When I first arrived at the hotel I requested an iron and and ironing board. The member of staff gave me an iron but stated that I could not have an ironing board because it must be in a room. I asked if I could get it later as I need to iron my shirt for work and was informed that it would be sent to my room. This happened at around 3 in the afternoon, it is now 10.15 at night and they have not produced it. Next I ordered a meal in my room, I waited 1 hour before going to reception and finding out they forgot to send my meal to my room. I was informed that the meal was ready now if I wanted it I could take it, which I was happy to do, only to find out that they had tried to give me my meal that was stone cold. Not good for chicken and chips. I then ordered a smaller snack because of the time and waited 45 minutes telephoned reception and was told by the supervisor that they had just come on shift and knew nothing about my issues. She apologised and assured me that she would personally bring my sandwich to me in 15 minutes, 30 minutes later I go to reception as I had still not got my sandwich and it was too late to eat at 9.30 at night. I asked to speak to the supervisor outside as the members of staff who gave me this poor service were by reception and I wanted to speak privately, outside I did not get an apology for the poor customer service of her staff and she did not apologies for incorrectly telling how long I would have to wait the second time, after I had told her about my poor experience. She then said ”you don't want the food raw, do you” after me complaining about her keeping waiting the second time. I teach customer service and this has been the worst service I have ever received in a hotel ever, and I will using this experience with Ibis in my classes on a perfect example of how not to treat a customer for a long time. This is my first experience of Ibis hotels and I am shocked that this is how you treat your guests. It occurred on: 01/09/2022 This meant that I am in my hotel room furious and disappointed and have not eaten. It feel ironic that tomorrow I will be teaching customer service and I am unable to sleep because of how much this has affected me. I am not satisfied with the service I have received and I feel frustrated that it is too late to book into another hotel. Train your staff to a much better standard and made aware that this is not good enough. Send me a full apology and the cost of my evening meal that I did receive should be charged. I don't expect any of the things I have shared with you to make any difference to the staff and if I was ever foolish enough to stay at this hotel again I am sure I would get the same poor customer service. I just hope that this is a poor hotel and it does not reflect other hotels in your chain.

This hotel is steps away from the centre and steps away from the iconic Roadmender venue. There are PLENTY of food places, bars, and shops within walking distance. Only downfall for me was the pool being nomore :( Please bring it back, I intend to use you every time I visit Northampton now and would love a cheeky swim. Other than that, a lovely hotel with lovely staff, I'll be back.

We booked to see the theatre Production show Signing in the Rain on Saturday 13th July , the show was as good as any West End production we have seen, simply put it was fantastic. Booking by phone was easy and simple too. we were married on the 13th of July 2014 at Kilworth house so this been our tenth wedding Anniversary I wanted to make things special for our stay for my wife and book back at Kilworth house , I had only one disappointment when booking i could not book one of your luxury room , fully booked up in February . Friday 12th July I traveled down to the hotel to leave flowers and gifts for my wife to be placed in the room and was meet at reception by Mal , I requested everything to be placed in the room for when we booked in the next day , Mal told me this would not be a problem and she would take care of this personally for me, I also asked Mal if possible could we have a tablet reservation for two next too the orangery French doors on the evening as this was were we stood for our wedding vows , Mel asked me to give her a moment and went too spoke to the Maitre d , when she returned she told me everything would be sorted , my last request was if possible could we book in at 3pm she said she would try . Saturday 13thJuly we arrived at the hotel at 3 pm and was meet at reception by a smiling Mal and her colleague Mel spoke to me like she had not meet me before (great) I asked if we could book in , Mel rang house keeping and we were told the room would be ready in thirty minutes ( not a problem ) we went into the lounge to have a relaxing drink whilst we waited we were asked about luggage which we had placed on the luggage trolley Mel told me our luggage would be taken up to our room once it was ready . whilst my wife had her drink I went and spoke to Mel she told me she had take up the flowers and gifts for my wife into our Garden room herself .The Theatre Dinner Meal on the evening was superb ,service was fast we did not have to wait long between courses , nothing was too much trouble for the restaurant staff . we had a great dinning experience seat at our table which was reserved for us .

Mel and all the staff at Kilworth House made our Anniversary stay special nothing was too much trouble ,thank you everyone . Steve & Trace L , Room 203 .

Our stay was fantastic and all the staff were really helpful and professional. We had one of the engineers come to our room to help us out called Derek who couldn’t do more to help us and fixed the problem immediately. I would really recommend staying at this hotel as we were made to feel so welcome. I will definitely be returning to this hotel the next time I stay in Northampton.

The hotel rooms are a little basic but comfortable and have everything you need. I stayed in a twin double with my daughter overnight for Uni, having travelled from Dorset, it was perfect after a long drive. The beds were comfy, the shower very powerful!! The staff are so unbelievably helpful and friendly. By far the cleanest and best smelling hotel I've ever stayed in. The surroundings are so peaceful and green. We didn't try the food, so can't comment, but seemed popular. If she ends up starting Uni up there I will book here every time without hesitation.
