Reviews The Narrow Boat

Enjoyed a lovely nights accommodation here with a warm welcome, friendly staff and good service. The rooms, separate from the inn, are adequate although a little tired and needing some TLC. We were surprised by hw quiet they are away from the main road. We had a fine evening meal from a good and varied menu and our breakfasts excellent!

Stayed at the Narrow Boat for the weekend whilst visiting Silverstone. When we arrived we where made very welcome by the french guy (sorry don't remember asking your name) he was so nice and helpful, had time for a chat if he wasn't busy, which he was very busy in the evenings. The owners definitely made a great choice employing him. The room we stayed in was not in the main building, but towards the back of the parking to the rear.. which was a great thing, was super quiet and we did not hear the guests staying next to us. The cleaners where very helpful and lovely, we asked not for our beds and towels to be changed... But did want biscuits which they let me choose. The parking was right in front so easy unloading of our car. We ate in the restaurant both nights as the food was very good, and the staff very helpful and friendly. I had lamb on the second night which was perfectly cooked and a lovely blackcurrant mousse to finish... And as long as you are sensible it is lovely that they will switch things a little on the dishes if there is something you don't like. On the first night we asked for some olives and the young male waiter was a bit thrown as it wasn't on the menu, but checked with the kitchen and shortly after returned with a small bowl of olives... He could have just said no as some places will but fulfilled our request which my wife was super happy for. So thanks to him 😊 The other waitresses where also super helpful, and if not too busy also had time for a small chat. So this is definitely our place of choice if returning to visit Silverstone which is about 15 minutes away. We obviously didn't see much of the chefs but you are doing a great job, and the food was lovely so thank you also. A big thanks to everyone for making our stay so lovely and welcoming....

Stayed one night and had dinner too - food was fine, service really good - good breakfast. Room although comfortable and surprisingly quiet for being near a main road was a bit tired, needs a bit of a spruce up.

Walked here from Weedon Bec and stopped for lunch. The food was very tasty. The portion size was adequate and the cost was reasonable. Had a starters and a main course and didn't leave hungry. The staff were very pleasant and attentive.

Last minute stop. We were met by friendly staff who were able to accommodate our group easily, 2 dogs and a double buggy with 4 adults. We were told our food would take an hour as they had a birthday party that had just ordered but our food arrived within 20 mins and was beautiful. Lovely setting next to the canal.
