We really enjoyed our stay at the Bartholomew Arms. Our room was clean and comfortable and the pub downstairs had a nice atmosphere. The owners were really helpful and friendly - would recommend!
Beautiful, peaceful, country pub/hotel. Staff were really pleasant. Mobile food vendor was both reasonably priced and tasted amazing. I would happily and hopefully will stay again.

Parking OK, spaces on road opposite. No food served by hotel, including breakfast. Pop up kebab van from 5.30pm. Apparently, different pop up vans on different nights. Nice choice of ales. Pub seemed popular with locals, which did make it rather noisy. Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel was a little tired looking. Bed comfortable.

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.
Good value for money shame some rubbish was Missed
Nice and comfortable but there was some foodstuffs left on top of the wardrobe that I just left where it was.

Had a very good sleep. Very friendly staff and helpful for other amenities due to the place being shut on a Monday.
If had known before cancellation time I would have gone somewhere else.

Disliked: Cleanliness
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.

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.
