Great pub, but poor sleep
The pub itself is nice and seems a friendly place for people to go and enjoy
Unfortunately on the night we were staying there was karaoke and plenty of people in the pub until 1am gone and the sound came into my room with ease and this unfortunately made me unable to sleep. I went downstairs and asked if they had anything I could use to help drown out the music but the barman said no and pointed out to me that this is a pub and it's licensed to run until 2am so this will be going on for some time still
I understand it's a pub and that but when the room is allowing the sound in due to the volume and being above the bar area it wasn't ideal.
We were told in advance no breakfast would be available which was fine, but had we been told in advance of a late finish for the pub for karaoke and that the rooms aren't the best at keeping the noise out we would have taken our stay elsewhere due to long drives there and onwards the following day.

Reward night
Typical village pub accommodation in an old building.
Creaking stairs and uneven floor was expected, bed was comfy but no heating at 10pm but okay in the morning.
No food at night but a reasonable continental breakfast.

Located in pretty village full of honey-coloured stone 5 miles from Towcester. Rooms are over pub which is closed Mondays & doesn't do evening meals tho' you do get free run of the kitchens & a nice continental breakfast with hot pastries. Food can be bought in village shop or takeways ordered from Towcester (Mughal House particularly recommended). Very reasonably priced: £125 for 2 nights including breakfast.

It looks very cute but the shower and windowsill was horrendously mouldy. The shower spray holder was broken which required a hand held shower. The heating in the room wasnt working and there was no lighting in the hall/ stairwell ..leaving early was a feel the way process and as with a pub it was incredibly noisy until midnight/one.Disappointed that a continental breakdast takeaway wasnt available due to leaving early. ..in rural area without shops or corner stores open.
The staff were friendly , comfortable bed and pillows and a much needed warm snuggly blanket.
Good wifi signal and TV chanels.

Stay was lovely, just some odd elements which were a bit strange! Make sure you arrive in good time to check in early, and double-check what the morning process is for leaving - main pub remained locked and egress was through the rear fire escape - noone in sight so left key in room.
The room was lovely - really well laid out, roomy, and clearly well-thought out; lots of little things that made the place really nice. Weak spot was the bathroom - doesn't have a proper door. Shower was also dirty with soap scum - black mould on the grouting which disappeared with one wipe of the thumb so it clearly could all go with one wipe round with a cloth.
Irrespective definitely a nice place, would consider returning with the bove in mind! :)
