We spent the weekend half way between Milton Keynes and Northampton, which was handy, coz it meant we could visit both my mum, and my sister and her family.The hotel was... interesting.
We stayed in The Falcon, in Castle Ashby, having a room in 'the anex', which was in fact a cottage a hundred or so yards from the hotel itself. The building was pleasantly quaint, and the staff efficient and friendly. As per usual, we got our cheap deal on the cost of the room, and a good job too.
Why a good job too?
Well... the staff being pleasantly efficient pointed out that the resteraunt had closed when we arrived, but that we could have a sandwich if we liked, and they'd bring it to our room. Great we said, and ordered a ham salad and cheese salad.
They were very nice sandwiches, and it was really nice of the staff to bring them the hundred yards to our room, but.... *** £8 *** for a sandwich?
That's nearly half the price of the room for a night.
Oh well.
Yup... lovely place, but if you should ever stay there, unless you're absolutely loaded, eat somewhere else, or take your own food.
Anyways... this is the view from our room.
Pretty.
Walking down country lanes in the very early hours, in the pouring rain is pretty fun y'know. It's SO dark.
Oh yeah... chatting on irc while travelling up the M1 is quite an enjoyable novelty too.
Yup. That was an enjoyable weekend.
