Best Hotels near The Elephant Park, Thrapston

All the rooms I've stayed in over the number of weeks I've been working away have been clean and tidy. The staff are very friendly and happy to help with anything. However, one member of staff called Les goes above and beyond his duties which is greatly appreciated. Les quickly noticed during my first stay that on a morning I have 3 heavy boxes containing work equipment that I have to take to take too and from work. Les took it upon himself to remember the time I leave for work so gets ready to open the doors in advance and helps me carry my boxes to my van. He is such a friendly man who obviously takes pride in his job and always puts the customers first. It’s my pleasure to have met all the staff but Les in particular. In my opinion Les should be the first in line for any promotions on offer at the travel lodge.

Good hotel quite well placed from the A1 . Good room with all you need for an overnight stop. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, no bacon, but it is an express Hotel so there will be limitations on what's offered. Negative - many of the breakfast tables were not cleaned ready for incoming guests and they were not busy.

One night stop off for a work trip. The hotel was more spacious than I was expecting and there was ample parking available. The room was very clean and provided all the required things you would need. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the TV did not work in my room, but I was too tired to go down to reception and ask, and it wasn't a big issue really as the hotel in itself is lovely.

Thank you so much for our Sunrise hideaway spa weekend,it was awesome from start to finish. I would just like to say how amazing the weekend break was, we really appreciated it and needed it,to destress. Being carer's we tend to ignore our own needs and concentrate on our loved ones. My daughter-in-law and I arrived on Sunday afternoon. Firstly, I must say, the decor of the Hotel looked calming & luxurious. The bedroom was really Luxurious & Spacious, with a mini bar super king comfortable bed and a little hand written card welcoming us with some chocolate's,a lovely personal touch. The Firepit restaurant felt very calming and relaxing with a great low music in the background to add to the atmosphere. The view out the large glass windows were stunning, the lake had a water fountain lite up, which was beautiful to watch. We really enjoyed our lovely dinner & Sweet. They even have a robot that serve's you dinner. We both had a lovely night sleep in the very large comfy deluxe superking bed. There was a great selection for Breakfast, which set us up for the day. We then went into the spa. The changing rooms where Clean & Fresh. All the facilities were great and we tried them all out. Steam room, sauna,salt room,chill out ice room.There are heated water beds and egg chairs inside the Quiet Area, which are so comfortable next to a fire. The pool was just perfect with bubbled jacuzzi and taps that massaged your back when you stood under them. A new bar at the side of the pool with waitress service. Loungers all around with heaters and blankets for if it's a little chilly. The temperature of the pool was hot and steaming which was lovley as it is October and a little chilly. I booked a back massage as i felt tight in my shoulders and in some pain. Clare the masseuse,gave me a very firm massage and was very good, the pressure was just right and she gave me a lot of tips on how to strengthen my back and relax my muscles, she was brilliant. The staff at the hotel were very attentive & Helpful. I will be returning, hopfully when Father Christmas brings me another spa package.

It is first class in every aspect. Definitely the best value hotel accommodation that I have ever had, anywhere in the world. I recommend The Talbot unreservedly. Very well done I can't think what other superlatives to use. It's very, very good Daniel D G Brunton
