This contemporary, popular and well-connected hotel is located at the edge of Kettering, with easy access to town as well as the gorgeous nearby countryside and attractions such as Boughton House, Stanwick Lakes, Wicksteed Park, West Lodge Farm Park and Rushden Lakes.

The AA Rosette restaurant showcases British classics with a twist (pan-seared scallops, Gressingham duck breast with burnt apple puree…), or there’s a show stopping afternoon tea to tuck into, a cosy snug to enjoy the odd salted caramel martini or three in the bar and outside dining at the brand new Lawn Club in warmer months, they’ll even provide warm blankets for when the sun goes down but you’re not quite ready to retreat back inside.

The spa and fitness suite are the pièce de résistance at Kettering Park, with an indoor pool, whirlpool, steam room and an indulgent range of treatments, therapies and classes to suit everyone. Luscious Claudalie signature treatments include the rather fabulous Winemakers Massage (Note to self: that’s Winemakers not wine drinkers) and Fleur de Vigne Candle Massage – we’re loving the slightly boozy theme here – and fitness classes range from Zumba and spin classes to yoga and pilates.

And when you’re fully buffed, plucked and pummelled and full to the brim with fine food, it’s time to retreat to your stylish room, and whether you opt for a twin, double, suite, four poster or a family room you’ll enjoy White Company toiletries, biccies and even a pillow menu. Sweet dream are made of this.

Looking to tie the knot? Weddings here can include everything you need from a dedicated event manager and toastmaster to flowers, music, dining, champagne, and even the hen party and spa membership for the happy couple.
