Luxury hotel in Northampton

“Fantastic stay! Brilliant location, right in the middle of town with everything around you. Very clean Hotel. The rooms were very impressive too! Only thing I would say is I must have heard 5 plus staff drop plates and glasses, seemed very noticeable and often.”

“Lovely environment and plenty of parking”

“Stayed for one night as I was travelling for business. Really quite place, very clean. Staff was friendly. Free parking.”

“Stayed here twice now and both times were fantastic. Rooms are clean and well-maintained, staff are friendly, location is great. What more can I say? Would definitely stay there again.”

“Lovely setting and great service. Food was fabulous and even for myself being a celiac non gluten eater they were very helpful, helping me choose items of the menu and checking on things with the chef. Bought bread rolls out for our other party members quickly followed by a non gluten bread roll for myself. Portion. Size of food is big and delicious. Not cheap but worth it.”

“Wonderful service, Hospitality & professional rooms. Even the receptionist are very nice & cooperative.”

“we had a wonderful stay at the swan hotel. The room was spacious and had everything I needed, with décor that was modern and really beautifully done. The thermal spa session was incredibly relaxing and definitely a highlight of our visit. The restaurant offered a great choice of food, and everything was excellent value for money. Overall, a fantastic experience, we will definitely be coming back.”

“I had a great stay at this hotel! Everything was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful – definitely 5 stars for cleanliness and service. The location is also very good (4 stars), close to many attractions, but it could use a few more parking spots for guests. Overall, highly recommended!”

“We recently stayed at the Mercure, Milton Keynes, while visiting a friend. The hotel is immaculately clean, modern and in a great location. The staff were all super friendly and attentive. Our room was on the ground floor quite close to reception. And although the room was spacious and clean, we found the bed to be a tad uncomfortable, perhaps because it's a linked bed. Nothing major but worth noting. During the night there was a dripping noise, presumably from the air-conditioning unit, which again was bearable but could be an issue to some. We stayed in the autumn but I'm sure in the summer, the AC would be very welcome. The rooms were cleaned daily, although one day our room seemed to have been half done. Towels were changed and bathroom cleaned but the bed not made up or coffee sachets left. This was rectified by reception, so once again not a problem. The rooms have multiply sockets, with USB points which is a luxury in itself. We didn't eat in the restaurant but the bar food was delicious and more than ample. We have an EV and although the chargers weren't working while we were there, there were plenty of high speed chargers in MK. My husband and I would definitely stay here again, the issues I've mentioned are very minor so please don't let these out you off staying at this hotel.”

“From Ireland we came, just Magda and me, To Milton Keynes, as happy as can be. The Swan Hotel welcomed us right from the start, With smiles so warm, it melted the heart. The staff here are lovely, attentive, and kind, The type of good people you’re lucky to find. They helped with a laugh, they served with such grace, It’s rare these days to find such a place. The breakfast? Delicious – a feast to behold, With flavours so fresh, no story left untold. We left each morning full, happy, and bright, Ready to take on the day’s delight. One little tip, from us to you, Book direct with The Swan – it’s the smart thing to do. You’ll save the fees that booking sites take, And help this fine place for goodness’ sake. So thank you, dear Swan, for a stay so divine, From Dexter and Magda – till next time.”

“I've been here 4 times and recently had my 40th here. Love it. Service, food, spa all of it fab. If I had to give feedback I'd say the bed in one of the rooms was horrible and we had a bad sleep but only the one time. The rest was fab. And the spa treatment seems to be different per masseuse. So you could have the same package as someone else but receive a totally different experience. Also I think the staff should be stricted on savings the beds policy by the main pool cafe side. That was really annoying as we couldn't sit anywhere after lunch as people put towels down. Which to be honest is just rude. That said I will continue to come back. Always amazingly relaxed afterwards”

“We held our wedding reception here in July. Roy and Paula (and the rest of the team!) went over and beyond to make our wedding perfect. Due to various reasons we used the White Hart last minute, and they really were great. Let us in the night before and stayed open until the early hours letting us decorate, let us move around their whole pub to create the atmosphere we wanted, gave us some great drink deals for our reception, helped us with our buffet and really just went over and beyond - Roy even wore a pink tie to match our colour scheme! Thank you so much, really would recommend to anyone wanting to host an event in Shefford.”

“Under new management! Food is lovely. I had fish and chips, my daughter had fillet steak and hubby had the sausage and mash - all great. Really well presented and tasted great. Some live music today which was nice and relaxing. A great Sunday lunch at the pub.”

“The room was clean and nice. The staff nice. Only stayed 1 night for business and it was ideal for that. Breakfast was nice. Unfortunately the Hunters Chicken that I ordered from the restaurant was so tough that a had to eat everything around it before I chiseled into it to avoid sending everything flying. Apart from that it was good. March 2023 update: I stayed for two nights this time on the 13/14, again for business. This time I made use of the swimming pool and the fitness suite on site. I also managed to try the sauna, the first time ever! I managed the whole 15 min on the timer. The food this time was really nice. I had a burger and steak (separate eve's). The team was very friendly and nice and the breakfast was excellent. I have notched up to 5 stars for this recent visit.”

“As always Hilton was fab. What really stood out about this location was the staff, don't get me wrong they're always lovely. We had our 2 yr old with us, when checking in the ladies at reception moved our room to the ground floor as lifts were being serviced when we came. So thoughtful, saved us a lot of trouble. They offered lego, crayons to colour with, and wordsearch for little one. Breakfast the team were attentive, again they saw little one and asked if we would like children cutlery and brought it out. Another staff member came over and let us know they could do waffles or pancakes for little one. We went with pancakes and he loved it! Same staff member (I'm cross with myself that I didn't get her name) when we getting ready to leave asked 'will we be seeing you for breakfast tomorrow?' We were just there for the night, she asked if we had plans for the day, my husband was taking our little one to a kids play whilst I had to go to work. Which she gave some solid recommendations on, glad she did because the place she'd said had been amazing. We were at Hilton in Bath earlier this year, this extra care from the staff didn't happen there. Again please don't misunderstand they had been lovely. But this level of care is what made my husband and I say we won't be bothering with any other hotel when we visit Northampton now. I know...long winded. But this family of 3 was very grateful and I truly wanted to convery that. Thank you!”

“Hotel was nice and clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. Both evening meal and breakfast was excellent. Rooms were very good with tea and coffee making facilities. Bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.”

“We stayed at the Mill Pub for a couple of nights. This is a lovely local pub in an excellent location right in the heart of Bedford. The staff were so welcoming, especially Mary who really looked after us and went above and beyond! We will definitely stay here again when we visit Bedford.”

“Very welcoming friendly staff, very accommodating. Lovely clean and tidy room which was spacious and had everything you needed, including mini fridge, hairdryer, tv, complimentary tea, coffee etc, also complimentary shower gel/shampoo. On request an iron and table top board are available at no extra charge, was also able to borrow a dish and spoon. Breakfast was not available but there is a sainsbury less than five minutes down the road so easy enough to pick up cereal and milk. There was some scaffolding up on my visit but that was due to solar panels being fitted, also noticed an electric charging point being put in the car park. I stayed for a few days while having renovations done on home. Thank you for a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel.”

“It's been a few years since I last ate at The Narrow Boat, so I was interested to see how they were doing. Very pleasantly suprised. The ambience is much better, bright, warm and airy, a significant improvement. Very good food, tasty, hot and well presented. The staff were very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. Their drinks selection is fairly standard, but this is the first time I've ever come across a draught Majorcan beer, which was excellent. Overall, a super effort, and much improved from my last visit. If, like me, you haven't been for a while, give them a go, you might be pleasantly suprised. Happy to recommend it.”

“A lovely hotel in the middle of a stunning village, with a good pub to boot. Had a stunning room, staff were lovely, as was the breakfast, but the building is looking a little tired and could do with a tidying up in the public areas. But I would recommend staying here as it is great value for money.”
