Decorating in Northampton

“I have loved every minute of learning at Swanspool. Sarah is so welcoming and generous with her time when she's not teaching. She was so accommodating when our classes had to be cancelled due to Covid and has now made the studio safe to use during these strange times. The course offered fantastic value for money and I will definitely be signing up for something else in the near future.”

“Wonderful stay. We had a wonderful stay in Canalside B&B. Gil welcomed us with freshly made coffee. After tiring driving it was what we needed. Very comfortable bed, quiet location. We had a great night sleep. Full English breakfast & Gil's mum's homemade jams were superb. Eggs from their own chickens - what can be better? Thank you very much Gil. We definitely will be back.”

“We required internal structural changes + a new kitchen/utility room & were looking for a company that could do both. Moulton Kitchens fitted the bill & from the very first time we met Ian at the showroom we knew this was the company for us. Having chatted to Ian about our requirements he designed & planned our dream kitchen. He has a wealth of experience & advised us along the way when necessary. The whole project was completely stress free - any little snags or queries were sorted out quickly & efficiently by either Ian or Stephanie. The whole team from builders, fitters, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, floor layers, painters etc were very friendly & efficient - nothing was too much trouble. They were reliable, trustworthy & tidied up at the end of the day. We now have our amazing dream kitchen & can’t thank Moulton Kitchens & the whole team enough!”

“I never intended to have a new kitchen! I just wanted a few more units, a decent oven and more storage space. From the very first moment, I felt Andy listened to me and understood my requirements. After he came round to measure the existing kitchen, he produced three designs and I Iiked them all. In the end, I opted for a total refit. The design challenged my thinking, but I am so glad that I chose it. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and love every minute of being in and using my new kitchen. The whole process was so well managed, with total consideration for my needs and regular updates about progress. Dan was the most thoughtful fitter and his work is impeccable. This took a lot of the stress out of the experience. Huge thanks to Andy, Dan, Georgia and Julian.”

“Ecton house is absolutely stunning,in a perfect location. The house and gardens are amazing with the added bonus of a hot tub. I had the best weekend there with my girl friends and would definitely recommend staying here. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly and I will definitely be back”

“We love our new billiards table! Mark has done a fantastic job restoring the table and has taken the time to explain the process and ensured we are happy at every step of the process. The table is truly stunning. Tom the delivery driver also worked meticulously to put the table together and gave advice that I'm sure will prove invaluable. I can highly recommend Mark and Tom, and look forward to many happy games ahead”

“We used Swan Bespoke to design, make, and fit our kitchen, utility room, secret pantry, and several other bespoke pieces throughout our home, and the results are absolutely beautiful. Nathan’s attention to detail is exceptional, and the quality of workmanship is outstanding. They were incredibly accommodating when our building timelines changed and were always happy to help bring my design ideas to life. I was recommended Swan Bespoke by a friend, and I’m so glad I chose them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for truly bespoke, high-quality furniture.”

“Couldn't find anything for my liking on Amazon or big stores. Hidden treasure. Came here by accident from Cambridge. Back again and again. Brilliant service and choice!”

“It is a very nice building. Good bedroom, ver clean. We had a large external bathroom. There is a well equipped kitchen and a nice sitting area. We had a good brunch in the community café, which is located in the same building. Enough private parking spaces are available, although some were sometimes occupied by visitors of community café. A good pub is in walking distance, and many walking tracks are close by. The centre of Wolverton is a 15-minute walk. We had a dog friendly room. One of the three bedrooms is dog friendly.”

“The show room was presented very nicely and everyone was friendly. Choosing a kitchen can be very stressful but H&M made it very easy and worked with us step by step updating us, making our perfect kitchen. Highly recommended”

“A massive thanks to Dave and his team who completed our office relocation with very short notice. The process was professional, friendly, and at times even fun. What we really liked was knowing that where ever possible whatever could not be sold or reused would be recycled. Keep doing what your doing.”

“Absolutely superb B&B in historic building located in peaceful country location but within easy reach of Milton Keynes/Hanslope/Northampton etc. Decoration, comfort and breakfast all top class with very friendly hosts (Ed & Laura). Highly recommended.”

“Super location and very comfortable. A word of caution for less mobile visitors to ask for a ground floor room as stairs proved rather steep for my elderly mother. Excellent cooked breakfast and flexible times.”

“Amazing food, great service. Stewed Chicken with delicious dumplings to die for. Just the best place to eat in Northampton bar none - and so reasonably priced!”

“We've tried many Indian takeaways and this us by far the best we've found and so lucky to have it local to our new home. Order regularly, always really tasty, the meat is always good quality too. Sometimes delivery can take a long time but that's a sign they are popular. When I've needed to call them they have been very polite and great customer service.”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with nirmal from Kandu Bathroom Fittings to renovate two of our bathrooms, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. He asked us few questions about our taste and he produced a design beyond imagination. Choosing the products was easy and even the ladies at the office were helpful when my husband and I couldn’t decide on a choice! the team doing the installation- Geordie and Dean was incredible. Their professionalism was evident not only in their punctuality but also in the manner they conducted their work. They approached each task with a meticulous attention to detail and a clear sense of dedication. One of the standout aspects of their service was how tidy they kept the workspace. Every evening before they left, they ensured that the area was clean and orderly, minimizing any disruption to our daily lives. This consideration made the entire renovation process much more manageable for our family. Communication with Nirmal and his team was also exemplary. They kept us informed at every stage of the project, promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had. This level of correspondence provided us with peace of mind and confidence that we were in good hands. Overall, our experience with Kandu was outstanding. Their commitment to quality work, combined with their excellent customer service, made the renovation process smooth and stress-free. We can’t wait to do our other two bathroom and kitchen!”

“We had a brilliant service by Leanna at Mamas and Papas in the NEXT store at Bedford Interchange. As first time parents we came in with little to no idea about what pram set we wanted or needed, but Leanna really helped us pinpoint the best one for us, along with super helpful demonstrations on how to take off / put on all the components. We left purchasing the set and feeling super confident in our choice. Thanks so much!!”

“I would not hesitate to recommend The White Kitchen Company to anyone who wants a top quality kitchen at a reasonable price. Mohamed and the team couldn’t have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble, even when I asked to tweak the design a number of times, eventually settling on design pack 5. Mohamed, Ella and all the team made the whole process so easy. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I’m really glad I went with their recommended fitters at Heasman & Co who were professional and provided excellent workmanship and service.”

“Excellent variety of quality furniture priced fairly. Owners are very helpful and polite, supplying details on products. Enjoyed our experience, which will result in an order.”

“I was looking for a local office supplies/paper company and reached out to Carolyne for some paper for our Xerox printer. I ordered a few boxes from her yesterday and they arrived this morning! Carolyne has been so helpful with all of my questions and is always prompt with replying to emails. Couldn't ask for a better service, thank you again ☺”

“Really good quality lunch. But the menu is quite slim. You could add for example, some kind of pie. And remove some of the less ordered things.”

“Nice, warm room. Massive bed! Lovely hostess, but we've been a few times before so are familiar with the layout, etc. Nice breakfasts, full English, cereals, fruit juice or whatever you choose within reason. Very accomodating and close to the town centre.”

“Great products and competitively priced.”
