Barton Hall Hotel & Spa in Kettering

I have visited the site frequently since moving to the area in 2019. I have always had a positive experience, the food is fantastic with my most recent visit being 2 weekends ago. Despite there being a wedding within the grounds both our food and service was of a high quality. Portion sizes are favorable and our host Winter was nothing short of superb and attentive. I would recommend this venue

Only used the function room, but it was very nice.

The staff at Barton Hall ensured that we had the wedding day of our dreams. Everything was seamless and we felt so at ease. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The rooms were spotless and breakfast is delicious, with so much choice. We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary!

Took my other half here for a Valentine's evening meal. Don't know the place existed, and had drived past it so many times. Upon arrival, the building is stunning, inside, beautifully styled. The staff were very friendly, and polite, very attentive. Meal was absolutely amazing though, from starter , all the way through to desert. The fillet steak was the most amazing I'd EVER experienced, it just melted in the mouth. Lovely atmosphere, tables a decent distance apart, so you didn't feels they'd crammed everyone in for valentine's night. Couldn't fault anything at all, and we will definitely be returning. Many many thanks for a lovely evening, and thanks to all the staff, and particularly the chef, who made our evening so special. Highly recommended! MANY THANKS !!

Lovely place also has Tesla Charging facilities

Just a stunning place to go to overall. Been here a few times for awards evenings and meetings- always an impressive venue and friendly staff.

Love this hotel and Spa. Ebonie in the Spa is excellent. Thanks.

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant on 24th January 2025. The food was plentiful and nicely presented and the ambience of the hotel was appealing as always. All the staff were lovely. Lee, in particular, did us proud and was very attentive, helpful and thorough in delivering great customer service.

Wow, what an incredible wedding venue! I’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing weddings at Barton Hall, and it’s always such a fun and memorable experience. The venue is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous grounds and so much charm, and the staff are brilliant at making sure everything runs smoothly. If you’re looking for an amazing and vibrant wedding venue in Northamptonshire, Barton Hall is a must-see!

Gorgeous Spa Facilities... had a wonderful afternoon exploring and utilising everything. Also! Great cappuccino!

Just popped in to charge my car but used the toilet facilities whilst I was here. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I'm sure if I wanted lunch or a drink they would have ablidged.

Fabulous Christmas lunch, great service, great food.

Brilliant service for dinner 10/10 to ruby

We booked our wedding for November 30th. Everything was sensational from the food, the service, to the staff and the rooms. Shelley was fantastic as our wedding coordinator. Nothing was too much trouble. She treated my wife like a friend more then a customer and made her feel like a queen. She was very friendly to me too and again nothing was too much trouble, even when one of our guests forgot to let us know of a dietary requirement, she immediately sorted it even though it was not her or barton halls mistake. The orangery was magical and the while day was amazing. Rooms 10/10 Service 11/10 Food 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Elegance 10/10 You made our wedding day even more special. Thankyou

Stayed Dec24 for one night on business trip. Room clean however room 17 had headroom and uneven floor issues, noted that this is a period property. Evening meal and buffet style breakfast fairly good. Staff very friendly and efficient. Would I stay here again?: Absolutely. Would I classify this hotel as 4 star? Based upon my room, no.

This is not a 4 star property by any stretch! The rooms are dated and worn. Beds aren’t comfortable and had dirty linens and throw pillows. Service is subpar. The whole lobby smelled of fried food and cigarettes when we arrived. The “spa” is not a spa! It is a hot tub on a patio. It is a large hot tub and was clean, but was packed with people. Cups, glasses, robes, towels, etc were strewn around and never picked up.

Amazing hotel with equally amazing staff. We had a great overnight stay in a lovely room, with an evening meal and breakfast the next morning Everything about our experience was of the highest quality. Thank you. I would so highly recommend

This is not a hotel review directly but I wanted to express my appreciation for the staff at Barton Hall Hotel. My car broke down nearby and I needed to use their facilities for a short while while waiting for a recovery vehicle. They were very kind and caring and I really appreciated their help.

Got married at Barton Hall in September and I must say it really was perfect.. but Shelly the wedding planner was my lifeline that day she was absolutely amazing and made my day as smooth as possible whatever I needed even getting her mum to drop of a sewing kit after my dress was stood on!! Absolute credit to Barton hall!!!

Very pleasant coffe whilst charging the Tesla.

A BIG thank you to Lucy & Ivana at Barton Hall for being our partner venue for the BIG Buzz event at the end of October 2024 Business Buzz in Northamptonshire & the Regional Lead, James Brodie cannot thank you enough for making us so welcome! The hotel is lovely as are the grounds & the Charles suite worked perfectly as a space to conducts a morning of BIG networking for business people from across the county & beyond. For Kettering based business Barton Hall is an amazing place to have face-to-face meetings.

No smoking area to sit and relax but you can vape???? My great nan smoked 40 a day till she was 96!!!! Guaranteed she wouldnt of lived that long smoking dodgy vapes from China!!!!! Just saying!!! There was a lot of unhappy people standing up smoking in car park with slippers and stones in there feet!!! sort it out!! Don't be another kier starmer 👊👊👊 On the up! the rooms are really Nice!!!! And Joanne from the Spa is an absolute Star!!!! Thanks again Joanne X

Lovely weekend away .We used the spa facilities and it was a real treat we had a lovely room and a great view of the sheep in the field over the road .

Called in for dinner, after almost calling somewhere less salubrious. The food and ambience were really good, however £10.50 for an average quality dessert is too much.

Went for a Twilight Spa and it was perfect, even though it rained. Staff were lovely and helpful, massage was amazing, and the spa itself is beautiful. Very clean, lovely and warm, highly recommend. Lots of parking too

Had a great stay here room brilliant had a private lounge. Spa 3 hrs complimentary a nice touch and great outdoor experience. Service very attentive only aspect for improvement would be the restaurant menu to cater for all. Found portion sizes too big meaning you could not enjoy the whole menu. Perhaps introduce a two or three course option at a favourable rate.

Staff amazing! Good night. Night porter team absolutley amazing setting up such a beautiful wedding well done guys xxxxx

Wonderful food, excellent service

Not a good place to stay on a stopover for work. So many issues with room and front of house were quite unhelpful on arrival. Promised refund on part of room fee by deputy manager for terrible room (newly furnished but absolutely no thought or checks made by staff to assess functionality) but this was not honoured. Was offered room swap at 9:45pm but after unpacking and working, couldn’t find the energy to do this. Should have, sleep may have been had. Labyrinth of doors to find your room and no signs to help. Restaurant was nice but £26 for cottage pie (which was soup in a pot) is way over priced. However, Ethan was a super star, very attentive member of the team. Still waiting for manager to call to discuss the matter….4 days later. Won’t be back. Left feeling harassed and very tired, not a good start to my day.

Was a lovely place to visit and have a nice relaxing drink

Lovely hotel, quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

I came for the spa and lunch package on Saturday with 3 of my friends. The food was lovely and tasted amazing however, took a long time to come which meant we missed an hour of our spa usage. Once at the spa, there’s 6 steps. 1 of which is connect with nature (sit outside) which I could do for free at home. The ice bath was one bath sat outside with no ice in it and full of leaves from the trees. The fire pit wasn’t lit and the hydrotherapy wasn’t particularly warm. Once the 3 steps we actually got were completed and we wanted to get washed and dressed, there is only one changing room and 2 showers for multiple women which meant there was a long queue and no room to get dressed without exposing yourself. I expected much better facilities.

We got married nearly two weeks ago now and Barton Hall was our amazing venue, all I can say is thank you to the whole team from the bottom of our hearts. From staying the night before with my bridal party to the morning after the wedding, everyone made us feel like absolute royalty. The rooms are stunning, the food is just WOW (everyone loved the sticky toffee pudding!!) the service did not miss and the orangery and grounds… 😍😍 if that isn’t enough to make this the most perfect venue I don’t know what is. I wish we could re-live the day over and over again. We will re-visit every year on our anniversary to enjoy the spa, food and grounds all over again!! Just wanted to make a special thank you to Abi, Ivana and Shelley ❤️. Xxx

Quite expensive but nice atmosphere

Gorgeous place. The staff were lovely. Very nice spa. Waiting staff new the menu and were on the ball.

What an amazing place to visit. They have spa, open tesla superchargers and more.

We chose Barton Hall as our wedding venue and are so happy we did! The venue is beautiful especially the orangery. The events team (in particular Abi and Shelley) were all so wonderful! They helped us every step of the way and we are so grateful for them. Our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and we couldn't have done it without the great Barton hall staff. We will definitely be back for anniversaries and future celebrations. Highly recommend!

Used for lunch only. Consistently good food, quick friendly service, lovely surroundings, nice range on the menu. Limited bar.

Stopped for charging and went to check out restaurant. We’re vegetarians so sometimes food options are limited but Barton Hall was a positive surprise. Delicious meal with great service, we’ll definitely come back.

Lovely place to stop for the night. Has a lovely terrace to Enjoy a drink and watch the sun set. What surprised me the most was the food, it was incredible. The last time I had anything with so much flavour was a Michelin star restaurant, amazing! The only disappointment was not being able to use the spa because it was fully booked, and it's first come first served (no advance booking). I believe the spa is only an added bonus if you can get in and not technically part of the room stay. Overall still excellent, beautiful location and Kettering is a lovely place to be.

Only came here for lunch. Pretty venue, staff nice enough, no food service outside even when very good weather. Food incredibly expensive for what it is, it was all fine but nothing special. Gluten free desserts very disappointing. Over £100 for two people for two courses and only soft drinks

Stopped here to use the EV charger and saw a wedding reception, looked smart 👍

Wow this gem of place , great location and links. Parking good. had afternoon tea here. Just lovely. Great service and the grounds are 2nd to none.

Went for Sunday lunch with family, good food,hospitality excellent will be returning.

Can't speak for the rooms or location as was just using the Tesla chargers on site while passing through. But lovely building and pleasant staff, coffee, and a break while charging.

Can't answer question regarding rooms as we only eat and drink at Barton Hall but it appears a popular destination as a hotel

Fantastic Afternoon Tea with fizz

Stayed at this hotel as part of a wedding party and we were very disappointed. The rooms are really dated, felt old and not well looked after. As a spa hotel we at least expected shampoo/conditioner etc to be provided like in most hotels and they had none. The lady in the spa asked us if we had booked before hand and told us we were basically only allowed in once during out stay. The best thing about this hotel was the breakfast, which was very good. Would not stay again and would not recommend wasting money staying here either.

We got married at Barton Hall on 23rd March and I cannot recommend it enough. The lead up to our wedding and the meetings before hand were great, the team listened to what we wanted on our special day and helped make it a reality. The day itself was like a dream. Abi and Shelley are two of the most wonderful ladies I have ever met, they were at our side the whole day getting things we needed and making sure we were okay, nothing was ever too much trouble. The venue is absolutely stunning (even in the rain and hail we had!), the food and staff were impeccable. The rooms were beautiful and breakfast was amazing. I cannot recommend Barton Hall enough! All our guests said how beautiful it was and how amazing the venue was. I wish I could go back and do it all over again!

Absolutely fantastic place can't wait to go back

Love my stay, food was fantastic... very friendly staff. Special thanks to Lee from the restaurant 👍 top lad

Lovely hotel beautiful setting gorgeous room lovely staff clean relaxing loved the building and the surroundings

We went for the twilight session today and it was a lovely chilled atmosphere and we had a lovely time.

More of a corporate feel to this hotel. No where cosy for residents to sit.

Had a delicious Sunday lunch here. Great service and a lovely birthday treat for my mother in law

Barton Hall was the most amazing venue to get married at. We had the most beautiful and special day celebrating with friends and family. Barton Hall with all their staff including Shelly made the wedding day run so smoothly. All our wedding guests loved the day and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the hotel was and how delicious the food was. We had couples who had recently got married notice all the details that they did for our wedding day to go so perfectly. We can't wait to come back to the hotel and spa for our 1st wedding anniversary!

Family wedding was just the perfect location 90

Room we're lovely and large with Nice bathrooms. However staff were not accommodating regarding checking in alittle early. Had a wedding at the venue starting at 3pm which is the checkin time and asked for 30mins early checkin and was denied.
