Highgate House hotel – 29th May 2011


Hotel Address: Grooms Lane, Creaton, Northampton, NN6 8NN


A ground (6/10) – Highgate House is a country mansion in the picturesque Northamptonshire village of Creaton. Originally a coaching inn, it has evolved over the years into a venue for conferences and wedding events.



Reception (6/10) – fast and efficient service checking with friendly staff throughout the site

Bedroom (6/10) – not all the accommodation is located in the original building, but we were lucky to have a side building with a nice modern room yet with features true to the old manor house. The room come with a nice size bathroom with nice big bath; one down point was that we did run out of hot water at some points. Check out is 10:30 am on Saturday and Sunday.



Hotel facilities (6/10) – The Terrace Restaurant is open every evening to serve dinner between 7pm – 9:30pm, it is recommended to pre-book dinner at time of reservation. Fit to serve large amounts of people for functions such as wedding and conferences. However the food service was rather rushed with food that seemed to be the extras from the wedding party present at the time rather than main to suit, in fact the menu for dinner was quiet limited.  A full English breakfast was available with continental style additions, however the staff was limited at we did not get Tea and Coffee along with our breakfast.  



At Highgate House, guests will find a range of leisure facilities including an indoor swimming pool (06:30 – 20:30), sauna, fitness room, floodlit all-weather tennis court and extensive gardens and grounds. The layout is a bit funny thou, with changing rooms located next to the gym and sauna, then the pool available few minutes’ walk away meaning you had to walk outside in your swim wear.  

Value for money (6/10) – £65 pound for bed and breakfast was a bargain for the facilities present, however it should be noted that this was the price on a Sunday night.

Overall 30/50 = 60%
