We stayed for one night in this lovely old inn in beautiful Lyddington. Had a wonderful meal, mine roast chicken my husband's sea bass curry both delicious and nicely served. Breakfast was ok and the room very comfortable with adequate tea/coffee/milk. We did keep waking in the night as the duvet was too warm but we were cold without it. we would recommend the hotel and would stay there again if in the area.

Nice clean room with everything you would need. Some noise from upstairs rooms due to squeaky floor boards but not a big issue. Breakfast was ok in quality, service was a little slow, especially when its pre booked for set times. Ample parking and a quiet environment make this hotel a different option to the bigger Corby locations
