Beautiful Barton Hall
I loved this hotel. Just to get it out there from the beginning. Super stylish with a great restaurant and an extensive gin menu to drink on the terrace (we tried a few)! What's not to like?

Mini staycation – The Narrowboat, Weedon
Weekend breaks, secret dates, and catching up with mates. It's a step into rural Northamptonshire, but offers the cuisine most often associated with gastro cuisine.

Rushton Hall reviewed
There aren't many backdrops I'd pick over Rushton Hall. Thirty minutes from Northampton town, a lifetime away from the hubbub

The Stanwick Hotel
This Muddy is a regular visitor to The Stanwick Hotel, (formerly The Courtyard Hotel), as I have a monthly networking group I go to that's hosted there (never networked? You haven't lived ; ) Also they're a Muddy Award winner, so I thought you guys could probably do with a peek inside too!

Tout Suite – How the Talbot Hotel made everything truly scrumptious
Muddy loves a Friday night jaunt, cocktails, drinks, dinner and the luxury of 500 count Egyptian cotton sheets – all within 20 metres of each other. And so it came to pass that The Talbot Hotel in Oundle extended a very generous invitation to sample their fabulous new cocktail menu and partake in all of […]

Muddy stays: The Hoste in Burnham Market
Fancy a weekend in a hotel with The Hoste with the most (terrible, I know, I’ve gotta work on the jokes), well this is your bag? Northamptonshire’s not known for its beaches (since we couldn’t be further from the coast line if we tried), and as a lass who grew up with muddy AND sandy stilettos, I […]
