In April 2026, Brian Hill said about Richards Plants Nursery and Garden Centre
As a new customer, I recently received my order of summer bedding plants (Order 2453) via Royal Mail, and I am absolutely delighted.
What sets Richard’s garden centre apart is his unique selling point: he supplies significantly larger, healthier plants compared to the typical small plugs offered by many larger suppliers. Each plant arrives in its own generous 10.5 cm pot, which speaks volumes about the quality and care taken.
Richard’s personal service is exceptional and truly unmatched in my experience. It’s incredibly satisfying to support an independent, family-run business where quality and customer care are clearly top priorities.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Thank you so much, Richard, for such a wonderful experience.
I’ve attached a photo to highlight the size and quality of the Begonias and Pelargoniums I ordered — the difference is clear.

Handy location next to A14. Spa is something of a local landmark. Spacious rooms. Good breakfast buffet. Bar gets crowded and noisy.

Room and bathroom was good size and warm but had problems sleeping as could hear the noise from road. Nice bar staff and breakfast staff. Spa good but would be better if several under 12s weren't in the jacuzzi all at once.

The room was a great size with good facilities including a sofa area with desk and a large TV. Nice White Company amenities in the bathroom. I particularly loved the teapot and lovely selection of teas and coffee bags (rather than nasty instant coffee sachets). The only downside was that despite having several lamps the room was way too dark. There's no ceiling light and all of the bulbs in the lamps are warm white and not particularly bright, and covered by heavy lampshades, so they're not particularly effective even when they're all on.
I raised two issues with the hotel and they were efficiently dealt with before I got back from work on the same day.
Every single staff member I met was friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome.
The gym is modern and well-equipped and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised when comparing it to the standard of most hotel gyms.
There's a retail park less than a minute minute drive away with various food options and shops.
The breakfast spread includes cereals, pastries, fresh fruit, and a cooked hot breakfast. It was great that I was offered the chance to have eggs freshly poached for me or avocado on toast freshly made. I went with poached eggs on toast and it was done perfectly. I didn't use the bar but from the outside it looked warm and inviting, and well-stocked.
I'll be regularly working in the area this year and I would definitely consider returning to Kettering Park Hotel when I do.

Had two nights here. Rooms were spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good and the bar area comfortable. Bar food was good as well. Although I only had the burger, it was certainly decent and I enjoyed it. I didn’t use the spa but it seemed popular and it looked quite nice. The staff were very polite and very helpful with everything. Would i stay again if I was in Kettering? Yes I would. Many thanks.

Lovely hotel, great facilities, clean, great staff. It's not a 5 star review for the sole reason of the food. Breakfast nice selection (lovely bread to make toast) but the sausages remind me of school dinner sausages. Benedict sauce from a bottle? Awful! Tea/coffee mugs not clean - its like someone forgot to add the tablet to the dishwasher! What else wasn't washed properly? Standard of food a big disappointment. 2 rosettes? Orders came out wrong 2 times out of 6. Burger & steak both tasted metallic. In fact the steak was one of the worst we've ever had - lack of seasoning, unevenly cooked, zero crust, very poor for £30. Generally all the food was poorly seasoned. Chicken sauce with the kiev was just wet, no flavour at all. Fish one night flat and didn't seem fresh. Onion soup, awful, tasted like gravy, hardly any onion flavour. Our last night we didn't really want to eat there but we had the 2 night offer so felt we had to. Food standard really let you down. If it matched the rest of the hotel it would have been a brilliant stay. It was our 2nd visit and unfortunately will be our last, purely because of the food. If you don't eat, or have low expectations of the food here, you'll have a great time
