Lovely stay in Badby
A very enjoyable stay in the pretty and quiet village of Badby. The house was just as described and perfect for our needs. Good little playground and cafe and pub a short walk away. In a perfect world the curtains in the bedrooms would have blackout lining (for the summer sunrises) and the dishwasher would be replaced as the racks are shedding rust, but otherwise a fantastic stay.

2nd Visit and it won't be our last!!
We are from the States and stayed there for a week last year. When it was time for another visit, we immediately booked with Val. She was able to accommodate our early check in request (needed a couple hours of sleep after an all night flight), the house is spotless and the king sized bed is amazing!
There is a pub within walking distance and we enjoyed talking with Zach and the locals. Definitely 10 out of 10 rating!
Great short stay here. Really clean, quiet and warm, just what we needed. Would definitely book again next time we are in the area.

Good facilities
We only stayed for two nights in this cottage and wished we could stay longer. Quiet residential
area in the pretty village of Badby.
Well stocked with unexpected milk, coffee, washing up liquid, t-towels etc. That’s great as there’s always something one forgets and good for us on such a short stay.

Perfect place to stay near family
I came here with my husband, our nearly 2 year old daughter and my husbands grandmother, to stay near my sister-in-law in Daventry. We were a 10 minute drive from them, and the cottage was perfect. It was accessible for our grandma, and there was a highchair for my daughter and a travel cot and plenty of room for the travel cot to be set up. Unfortunately there was really loud music on the first night, but we couldn't work out where this was coming from as the cottage is detached! This isn't the fault or problem of Val though, and luckily didn't wake our daughter. Hopefully just a one off as we couldn't hear it the next night.
We hope to stay again when we next visit family as it is perfect. Definitely recommend!

We will be back!!!
We are from the States and spent 6 nights in this lovely cottage. We chose this cottage because of the king size bed and it did not disappoint! The village is beautiful and the pub (within walking distance) has great food and atmosphere. We have family and friends in Northamptonshire and this location was perfect. The cottage had all the amenities of home. Val was amazing and responded to our questions within minutes.

Just what we needed
Such a lovely little cottage, finished to a really good quality - the photos do not do it justice! Communication with Valerie the owner was also fantastic - I was staying here the night before my wedding and my nerves ahead of time meant I had a few questions and Valerie always got back to me within a few minutes. Thank you!

Lovely stay
Listing is accurate of this property. It's in a quiet location, kitchen is equipped with the essentials - saucepans, frying pans, cooking utensils, crockery etc. The cottage is clean and comfortable. Check-in was and communication with the owner was easy and straightforward. Only slight thing was the WiFi was not great - with 2 kids YouTube is essential for some downtime for parents! Not a deal breaker as I would come back to stay again.
