Institute in Northampton

“The campus and garden are beautiful and usually rather quiet and the people working there are friendly, too. There is also a communal toaster. Wonderful.”

“After my usual chemist gave away my important controlled medication Lindleys couldn't have been more helpful and even stayed open late until we could get to the chemist!! Amazing service will happily use again!!”

“Finally came back to Cambridge after finishing my study and leaving the place 8 years ago. Had a great time visiting Corpus Christi. Porter was super nice and gave us a detailed map of where we could go. Thank you for making my visit as an alumnus enjoyable. (Not all college porters are this nice. There are some awful ones at other colleges!!)”

“Oooo it's amazing well looked after absolutely love it i will be back in day light to view it..”

“Excellent friendly pub, would love to try the menu but we arrived at the wrong time. There's an excuse to visit again!”

“The staff are very helpful and can’t do enough to help. Especially the young man called Ash, he is a total delight. I will visit the store again for any of my motoring needs. 5 stars lads keep up the good work.”

“Visited today to get oil. Wasn’t sure actually where to put it. The bloke that served me came out in the rain and explained and showed me what do to. 5star service. Thank you”

“Massive thanks to VCT-Systems! I called to book a last-minute air con gas refill and explained I needed it done early in the morning before work. They opened up before their usual hours just to fit me in—no extra charge for the early start. The job was done in about 40 minutes, everything was cleaned down properly, and the service was top notch. The price was also much cheaper than what bigger brands were quoting, which made the whole experience even better. I had completely run out of air con, and with the recent heat, it made a huge difference—especially with a long drive to the New Forest that day. Really appreciate a small business going out of their way to help. Will definitely recommend to others. Thanks again!”

“Nice place. I mean study there must be beautiful i historical buldings. With river and boats and parks and caffes”

“Really good home cooked Sunday roast dinner. Friendly staff and the location of the pub and the pub itself is so warm and welcoming. Would 100% return, the surroundings are stunning”

“Great venue with amazing front of house. Northampton is lucky to have such a venue with multiple spaces and uses. Top class programme of theatre music etc bringing people into the town. Close to carparks.”

“Absolutely stunning and peaceful estate, perfect for a family day out. The grand tree-lined driveway creates a beautiful first impression, with free parking, clean facilities, and a welcoming tearoom offering drinks, cakes, and light meals on the terrace. The grounds surround Castle Ashby, a magnificent Elizabethan-style mansion built in the late 16th century, later enhanced with classical architectural features. Its historic presence adds depth and elegance to the entire visit. A short walk from the entrance takes you to the orangery, built in the 19th century in a refined Victorian Italianate style. Inside, you'll find a tranquil pond with fish, lush exotic plants, and classical sculptures that match the era's aesthetics. Nearby stands the medieval Church of St Mary Magdalene, connected by a lovely woodland path that leads to an 18th-century terracotta bridge. Just past the bridge, there is a covered observation hut with two large benches and an information panel to help you identify local fish and bird species in the water below. Continuing your walk, you’ll reach a charming small animal zoo—undoubtedly the highlight for many visitors. The meerkat enclosure is a joy to watch, and you’ll also see parrots, goats, pigs, ducks, and tiny monkeys. After leaving the zoo, the path leads through a lavender-filled alley and loops back toward the orangery. The full visit takes about two hours, and bringing a picnic blanket and snacks is highly recommended. The grounds close at 4 PM, and entry is £14 per adult, which is well worth it for the history, nature, and relaxing atmosphere. A truly memorable and enriching experience.”

“Went for the first time with friends was nice and cool inside lots to see in the walls. We had some drinks and then played darts great time. Be back again soon. Good times”

“A truly beautiful location and a lavish cavery to match. The service was excellent, everyone was very attentive and kind. The menu is traditional but diverse for a Sunday Cavery but enhanced in terms of quality and portions. The price is a little higher than your average cavery but as mentioned, the quality of items and the diverse amount of products that it comes with (seasonal veg, cauliflower cheese, goose fat roast potatoes, red cabbage and the finest yorkshire pudding i've had in some time) make a special meal. Highly recommend as we will certainly be back again.”

“Lovely day today, stumbled on to this beautiful peaceful place in the heart of bedford. £12 lunch for 1 person includes drink I think that price was perfect. Portion size is good too. CHAI LATTE WAS AMAZING. They also had wifi and clean toilets.”

“Lovely coffee shop with a good food selection on the menu. It is outside but seating is undercover. Friendly staff and plenty of choice.”

“Really easy to contact by phone. Extremely knowledgeable and answered all my queries. I felt confident arranging my home insurance. Really good value for money and paid 70% less this year than last year on my renewal. Thank you Policy Expert!”

“Excellent service from Audiology and sight testing team, treated with dignity and respect. A great team. Highly recommend RUSHDEN Spec Savers I believe their service is second to none. Patient, compassionate, clear communication.”

“Excellent meal at the carrington arms, we had a couple of cuts from the meat counter, cooked perfectly to our order with some really tasty sides. Drinks and dessert also very nice, and a reasonable bill for what we had. Great service from Hannah throughout.”

“Took my wife here for her birthday - she loved it as did I though I'm not a great swimmer. 100yards was a long way for me. Nice setting. Great value fir money. Not heated bug I didn't find it that cold.”

“Great theatre. Fabulous staff and the production value of the shows we've seen has been spot on!”

“The campus is set in beautiful natural surroundings, making it a unique place to study. Springtime is particularly stunning, with a variety of flowers in full bloom and plenty of sunshine. The vibrant colors and pleasant weather create an ideal atmosphere for both learning and relaxation.”

“I've been taking my car to Mr Clutch in Bletchley for regular or annual servicing, and I've consistently been impressed with their efficiency and professionalism. I dropped my car off first thing in the morning, they had it serviced and ready for pick up by lunchtime with a telephone call fo say it's ready for pickup. One of the things I appreciate most is the clear communication. They provide a detailed report and invoice outlining exactly what work was done on your car. This transparency builds trust, and I never feel like I'm being taken advantage of. On top of that, their prices are competitive. They offer good value for money, making them a great choice for anyone in Bletchley looking for a reliable car service centre.”

“Lovely place to take ur kids to if living hereby”

“Very friendly staff from reception to shop floor. I was told an hour and a half wait for my air con and it was finished in under an hour. Very happy and do not hesitate to book with them!”

“my friend & 1 visited Sunday 27th July we meet every few months & like to try a new venue we're 10 years into this now and we both agreed this was one of the best Sunday lunches we've had. The staff were so friendly knowledgeable and accommodating nothing was to much trouble. The food was just fantastic, we may have to break our golden rule and return ! Thank you to all a really lovely Sunday lunch experience, keep up the good work.”

“Visited with a friend today, received a warm welcome. Food arrived in good time, nice and hot and portions are a good size. The sea bass was delicious and I loved my pudding with hot custard! I've been recommended the Prawn starter which will be my next choice . Thank you for a lovely meal. Parking was plenty and easy to access.”

“Had a beautiful Sunday Pork Roast dinner delivered to the door. It was absolutely delicious and hot! Would highly recommend, 5*”

“Richard Greener was really quick to help me with moving to my new home. Didn't had to worry about nothing. Few steps were made and new home was ours. The agent was extremely helpful, positive and ready to move us in fast.”

“This will be the fourth Toyota we have bought from Gells and it didn’t disappoint. The car was just what I wanted and Howard dealt with the sale, even ordering a piece of missing trim on my behalf. Thank you Howard and Jeremy .”
