Lovely view but overpriced for what you get
My stay was good in that I slept well and had a beautiful view over the garden to the river. The room was big and comfortable, if dated. I think at a lower price point this would have been fine, but at £120 a night I expected more than nescafe' sachets and tetley tea bags, with no biscuits and a kettle that was tiny and so old it didnt automatically turn off. It felt like being in a Travelodge. The host made no mention of breakfast - maybe they are not serving it due to COVID? I asked if they had any bananas - they didn't. The host was generally a little cold and distant. Overall if you could get this room for £60-£80 I would say go for it, but for £120 I think there must be better alternatives in the surrounding area.

Not a 4 star establishment, really old and unclean rooms. Room was located through a barn door with no lock on it so felt unsafe. Accosted by the owner because she found a teabag on the floor and was made to feel very uncomfortable. Super invasive and unfriendly service , felt like I was a kid staying at a parents house - unusual approach to hospitality. Zero COVID measures exercised. Place is in the middle of nowhere; asked if the host could do my laundry at even if I paid and I was told to find a laundrette even though the rooms are attached to her house and we were mid COVID so most the laundrettes were closed and about 15 miles away. The previous week I stayed at a 5 star Marriott for the same price for 7 nights. Booked here for 4 nights, left on the 3rd to escape somewhere else. Not recommended at all

The room was very comfortable and spacious, the shower was great too which was appreciated. Some of the decor is a little dated but that doesn't stop you from appreciating a great house with a great view down to the river in a beautiful village. The breakfast was cooked well and hit the spot! Would definitely stay again.

This is a unique and interesting location and well run professional B&B. I was working in Peterborough for a week and chose this because it looked interesting. The whole experience was terrific and was boosted by some great weather each evening and I went for some walks to neighbouring villages but always ended back in Fotheringhay and the local pub for dinner. The host was always available and welcoming, breakfast was excellent and the room well above most hotel standards. I would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the area.

Proper English rural experience
The first thing I should mention is that the bath in my room was enormous and fabulous to get into after a day of walking. (I'd walked 22 miles that day.) The owners of the B and B were charming and brought me proper milk for my tea. They gave me great directions to the local pub (which is renowned for its food) - and, in the morning, information about Fotheringhay's famous castle (where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded.) It's a beautiful village which is pitch black at night (great for stargazing.) I'd had an accident on my walk towards Fotheringhay which turned nasty in the night. I was so so grateful to the B and B owners who took me to A and E when I was unable to book a taxi. Honestly, I could not rate this beautiful B and B in a beautiful village more highly. Proper English country experience.

Very friendly quiet guest house
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. A very peaceful place in the lovely historic village of Fotheringhay. Our room looked down across the lawn to the River Nene and a small bridge, very picturesque. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. There is a pub in the village within easy walking distance for dinner which has great food for all tastes. We will definitely return and recommend to others. The only downside was no mobile signal for my network EE which was a bit frustrating, there were two other networks which worked.
