Lovely friendly staff and such a lovely example of the Art Deco era in both the restaurant buildings and the newer hotel building. 
Great beer too. Food in restaurant well cooked and tasty.
Will visit again on a leisure basis.
It's also worth a visit to the museum next door when open.

Lovely hotel with staff to match.

A really surprisingly beautifully outfitted hotel in the art deco period.  Big hotel room with generous supply of tea/coffee items, good sized car park.  The hotel is a separate building to the restaurant and bar.  The bathroom is of a large size.

Art Deco fans and aviation fans will love this place.

Brilliant hotel in true Art deco style, lovely friendly people, clean. Would highly recommend the hotel restaurant and bar, it over looks an air field has a aviation museum and hangers with planes. If you are lucky you may see the Spitfire.
Breakfast is good and evening meal is good, not over priced , well worth a visit

Art Deco jewel find

A delightful gem. We wanted an art deco hotel and we were not disappointed.  The art deco theme was represented in the furniture and decor. The hotel is situated in an aerodrome and we had loads to see, we were treated to a war plane flyover, there were helicopters to view and someone was testing out their formula 3 racing car and bikes. Our room was a good size, a comfortable bed, the bathroom was a good size and the shower was powerful. We had a good selection of teas to choose from and, what was a welcome change, we had a choice of whole and semi skim milk and there was ample so we could have a couple of cups of coffee each.  The food was homemade, breakfast was really good with plenty of options and during our stay, there was a different special each day, and I have to say the portions were very generous.  The restaurant and bar staff were really friendly and the bar area is really comfortable, a great place to relax and enjoy a drink.  The hotel is very clean, with good parking but note there is no electric charge points.  The nearest charging point we found was the Ballantyne fitness club which had 2 fast charging points.  The rooms are separate from the hotel but they have a card entry system so they are really secure. A must visit is the museum on site as well.  We will definitely be returning again and it's a good location with loads of places of interest nearby.  There are no lifts so if you have mobility issues be sure to request a ground floor room.

We booked it as it was advertised as an art deco hotel and we were not disappointed.

We spent a night at this fabulous and quirky hotel in Northamptonshire. The hotel is very art deco and very overtly celebrates the golden age of flight. Amongst other things, it was formerly a RAF officers mess, and as an ex-RAF officer myself, it had a lovely sense of familiarity. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable. The lady on Reception was very friendly and welcoming. We stayed for a friend’s party that was being held at the hotel, so we didn’t eat properly in the restaurant, but did enjoy a very tasty buffet at the party. The hotel and bar were very reasonably priced. 

This hotel is tucked away, not somewhere that you might just happen upon. However, it is a hidden gem and well worth a visit.

Fabulously Quirky Hotel

I stayed solo for two nights in September whilst attending an event. This was my second visit.

There may well be a problem with directions, but by using a little old fashioned nous rather than relying totally on GPS  it’s relatively easily found.

As per the description the style is art deco, which was a very clever way to re-style what must have previously been a pretty boring building, complete with ‘Crittal’ windows. The  wood panelled and WW2 aviation themed ‘club house’ atmosphere in the reception, bar and restaurant areas was very pleasant and welcoming.

Plenty of parking.

Despite it being a very busy ‘event’ weekend, all staff were friendly and efficient.

Rooms are of a decent size, simple but clean , comfortable and well equipped. Decent bathroom with shower in bath. The rooms facing the road are quite noisy if like me, guests prefer to sleep with the windows open. Ask for a room which doesn’t face the road.

Given the very busy period, the restaurant coped well, with an efficient, but not over bearing ‘Maitre D’ overseeing service. Evening food  was up to scratch - however, the buffet style breakfast whilst offering the standard hot items via Bain Maries was a little lacking in variety of the more healthy options. The bar was understandably busy, but a little short staffed.

Overall, once again, decent value and a very good stay.

We stayed here for one night as it was extremely convenient for an event at the adjoining airfield site. Firstly, it is worth noting that if using satellite navigation, for location, the hotel shares the postcode with other local activities and we initially arrived at a closed airfield main entrance - where the hotel is listed! We gained the impression that this issue was quite common. Use of the address as well may be useful. On arrival we were given the option of leaving a deposit of £100 on a credit card to cover drinks/meals etc. costs during our stay or paying as we incurred charges. We opted for the deposit, but I made sure that I received an itemised bill and was only charged actual costs prior to departure. For simplicity, if visiting in future, I would probably pay for each purchase separately. The hotel is made up of two buildings, one having reception, bar and restaurant, with accommodation in the other, on the opposite of the car park. Originally being a WW2 Pilot's Clubhouse and Officer's Mess, both buildings have many great art deco period features. The rooms are a reasonable size with simple decoration and furnishings, many in art deco style. There is no lift for the first floor. Our comfortable stay and experience would encourage us to book here again.

Would definitely return to this non-standard individual art deco style hotel

We were let down by booking. com with our original booking,  so we booked this in the fly, and we're so glad we did. 
There's a lovely 1920s vibe to the buildings and rooms. 
The staff were very welcoming and chatty. 
The rooms are large and airy, the beds are comfy, and the showers are hot and have good pressure. 
There is wifi and in room tea/coffee facilities. Also ample parking. 
Breakfast was tasty, and we were offered fresh hash browns,  which we accepted happily. 
We would definitely stay again.

Fantastic Art Deco building on the edge of an aerodrome

Well worth a visit , if only for a drink in the bar .
Furniture and furnishings wonderful .Loved the ambience. 
Warmly welcomed at very friendly reception , so helpful as we did not know area .
Essentially   there for a funeral but we did explore .
Stayed two nights , hotel very warm including bedroom.
Super clean and quiet two comfy chairs in bedroom .
Wished we had known they had king size beds , apparently not available on booking. Com .
We had a super evening meal Wednesday night , well served and presented , attentive staff in evening and at the bar .
One morning was buffet breakfast , last morning was served to order , which we preferred , was hotter as were plates . My poached eggs were perfection .
Would always recommend and if in area stay again  .

Art Deco at its best

Loved decor of hotel, really unique, full of history and very interesting. We as a group had good evening at hotel, rooms clean, quiet and comfortable, nice hot showers too!
Attentive, friendly staff and pleasant bar atmosphere.
Food in restaurant better than recent reviews, we had decent meals and freshly cooked breakfasts. Perhaps only gripe is not hot enough water for tea/coffee in bar/restaurant but can live with that! 
We all would definitely return.
