“One of the best experiences from start to finish. Nikki and her boys are absolute gems and made this the perfect gift for my partner. He had a wonderful time too and we were both sad to have to leave! Nikki created the most relaxed atmosphere and made us feel very welcome. The afternoon tea was also brilliant and the whole setup Nikki has is genius. I would highly highly recommend this to anyone considering it and I’ve already referred family and friends. Thank you again Nikki!”

“I asked three estate agents to view and discuss selling a house after a sale had taken months to fall through using another estate agent. Simpson and Weekley stood out a mile explaining the alternative ways of selling and the potential benefits and snags of each Whenever I phoned, which was often (!) I was dealt with courteously and promptly. If they could not answer my questions then they promised to phone back and did so within an appropriate timescale. They acted as go between between me, the seller and both sets of solicitors I do not think I would have sold so effectively with another estate agent”

“Lorna was exceptionally helpful and positive, and she really made us feel comfortable and confident in her abilities when planning our holiday. We can honestly say she’s outstanding at her job.”

“Lovely little theatre with comfortable seats. Lovely welcoming and warm greeting from the in house staff.”

“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.”

“We recently stayed to celebrate my partner’s birthday and had the most wonderful time. This is our favourite place, and once again it did not disappoint. The service throughout our stay was exceptional, and the food was outstanding. Dining at the Cedar Restaurant is an absolute must — it’s a truly exceptional experience and a real highlight of the stay.”

“Perfectly functional junction, can see how it would prevent serious road collisions. However, missed a trick or two here. No actual circus anywhere to be seen. At the very least, no refreshments available. I’m wondering whether to reconsider my world tour of original pedestrian crossings now.”

“Fantastic food excellent service.”

“Absolutely fantastic stay at Handley Barn during a visit to the Foot Health 2024 conference at Silverstone in June. I will most definitely be staying there again next year. Great location, beautiful rooms and perfect hosts. The views from Handley Barn are breathtaking. During our stay, we ate at The New Inn in the nearby village of Abthorpe which I would also highly recommend. A perfect stay in a perfect location - simply wonderful!”

“Beautiful rooms and service was excellent, the host even brought me a beer when I arrived. Couldn’t ask for more in a B&B I’ll definitely be staying again if I’m in the area”

“Really lovely, very quiet, idyllic setting. It is so so peaceful with great views across the countryside with a great pub a very short distance away. Mr & Mrs Strong are lovely hosts making your stay very comfortable.”

“Excellent opera Don Giovanni by Arcadia Opera. Theatre provided excellent staging and facilities.”

“Fabulous outdoor theatre/event space tucked away near Olney. It's a bit of a drive through fields to get there so keep going! They've done a great job, and good plans in the pipeline to make it more accessible. Beautiful setting”

“Lovely little spot, nature trail and a spot for the dogs to jump in the river.”

“Had a helicopter experience with these guys and it was worth every penny. What a great time i had. Alex answered every question i had and is a great pilot. 100% recomend to anyone.”

“I visited Lounge India in Marston Moretaine last week for a catch-up dinner with some close friends, and it turned out to be such a great evening. The staff were really helpful with recommendations, and everything we ordered was spot on. If you’re unsure what to go for, I’d definitely suggest letting them guide you. To start, we shared a few plates — the tandoori king prawns were absolutely delicious, the vegetable samosas were crisp and full of flavour, and the paneer tikka was a big hit with everyone at the table. We also tried the mixed grill, which was packed with different meats and cooked beautifully. For mains, I went for the chicken tikka masala, which was rich and creamy, while one of my friends had the lamb balti that was full of spice and depth. Another stand-out was the prawn korma, which was wonderfully smooth and fragrant. We paired everything with a mix of pilau rice, mushroom rice, and some fresh naan breads — the garlic naan in particular was incredible. I’ve been a few times before, and the warm welcome from the staff is always consistent, which makes the experience even better. My friends really enjoyed their evening, and it was a perfect spot for us to relax, eat, and have a good time. I’d definitely recommend Lounge India to anyone looking for authentic Indian food in a friendly setting.”

“Lovely hotel! Décor is really nice from the restaurant to the rooms. Staff are amazing and will do anything to support you having the best stay.”

“Stayed here for about a week recently bed and breakfast. Everyone was very friendly. Tracy very on it with breakfast every morning making my life as easy as possible. The entire place from the room to the toilets were kept extremely clean and welcoming. Would stay again. Thanks.”

“DJ Review for Duston Conservative Club – Katie & Chelsea’s Celebration I had the absolute pleasure of providing the disco entertainment for Katie and Chelsea’s special celebration at Duston Conservative Club, and it was a night to remember! The venue itself is a hidden gem — spacious, welcoming, and perfectly set up for parties, weddings, and special occasions. The layout made it easy to create a lively dance floor, while the bar and seating areas kept guests comfortable throughout the evening. The atmosphere was electric from the start, and the crowd were up for a great time. I played a mix of the couple’s favourite tracks, including Pink Pony Club, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Mr Brightside, Dolly Parton classics, Macarena, and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Every song had people singing, laughing, and dancing all night long. The staff at Duston Conservative Club were professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive, ensuring the night ran without a hitch. It’s the perfect venue for anyone looking to host an event with a great community feel, fantastic facilities, and plenty of room to celebrate in style. I’d happily return to DJ here again.”
