“This beautiful stay is not to be overlooked if you're staying in the area. We booked the Clock Tower after a wedding at the Granary in Fawsley and this stay is easily head and shoulders above any other option in the area. Despite finishing at the wedding relatively late, Lizzie and her partner greeted us with professionality and the hospitality you would expect of a 5* hotel. The rooms was an absolute dream, with all the amenities you could ask for even down to fresh milk in the fridge! The bed was super comfy and despite being in the clock tower, the silence was the loudest sound. The views were outstanding and the breakfast deserves its own 5* rating in itself. I can not recommend the hospitality of Lizzie and her family enough! 5*, OUTSTANDING!”

“If you are expecting a hotel it's not, it's a B&B in a couples personal home! It may suit some people and not others. You need to decide for yourself ”

“Delightful hosts who gave us a warm welcome. Beautiful location with lots of walking opportunities. Large room with many personal features. We would certainly consider returning, perhaps as a weekend away treat.”

“Thank you Lizzie and David for welcoming us into your lovely accommodation that surrounded us with so many interesting features and memories.
The Clock Tower is absolutely gorgeous.
Our top floor room next to the old clock mechanism was marvellous. Spacious, comfortable, great bed and a large a bathroom.
Our small balcony with table and chairs was visited by birdsong all around and no other sounds. Adorable views across the garden towards an ancient church (to which the cherry tree walk is simply delightful) and onward to the more distant rustic countryside.
Several times we enjoyed a wonderful walk along the gate-locked lane (no traffic) to the Red Lion - a great pub in the lovely village of Hellidon.
Our car stayed parked in the forecourt for several days as we simply absorbed the English countryside.
To top it off were the wonderful hosts - and the poached eggs at breakfast - excellent. Indeed, at the risk of overstating things, they were perfect.
And of course - our other new friends - the owners' two lovely dogs!
When next we visit from Australia we will stay again! ”

“Highly recommend The Clock Tower. It has that rare combination of being off the beaten track yet accessible to everywhere. It feels like a charming family home yet has all the facilities you could hope for from a high end hotel. Beautiful Rooms, generous en-suite bathrooms and luxury toiletries. Wonderful peaceful breakfast setting with every extra offered. Lizzie went above and beyond to make our two night stay a delight.”

“A very different experience from staying in most other hotels and guest houses. This is more akin to a 'home stay' where you are truly a family guest.
For us we instantly felt the difference in a very positive way- as we settled in we instantly felt extremely relaxed.
The rooms have lovely views of the surrounding countryside and you can watch the clouds pass by in the sky while laying back in the bath if you choose.
Quite a remote location - but the local walk was lovely.
The decor was varied with interesting furniture and small art items - it really took us away from the humdrum.
The cooked breakfast was very fine indeed and the coffee was tasty. Heck, even the butter for the toast was nice and soft and easy to spread.
We loved our stay.”
