78 Derngate is the only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It is now a multi award-winning visitor attraction offering an unforgettable day out in Northampton. Designed and remodelled by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1916, the house has been meticulously restored and opened to the public. On site: a boutique restaurant, light-filled art galleries, a stylish design shop and elegant spaces that can be hired for meetings, events and functions. 78 Derngate was the architect's final major commission; his visionary patron, Northampton model engineer, W.J Bassett-Lowke. It is the only place in the world where Mackintosh's mature architectural and interior style can be seen in their original setting. As such, the house has drawn many thousands of visitors from around the globe. Now you can follow in their footsteps and see this unique work from one of Britain's most influential and celebrated designers. Please note: To post a review for The Dining Room Restaurant ( a separate business ) you should search for their separate TripAdvisor page. Thankyou!
We decided to visit 78 Derngate during our visit to the area and was not disappointed. The only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh has a fascinating history which is brought to life on guided tours by knowledgeable and passionate guides. Following the tour we enjoyed coffee and cake in the tea room (afternoon tea is also available - with or without a tour). Delightful visit - highly recommended!

Kelmarsh Hall is a Grade I listed hall with gardens. Open to the public during spring/summer and available throughout the year for weddings & functions.
Lovely place, lovely staff, lovely food. The fairy walk was adorable. The walled garden is stunning. The swan on her nest was wonderful. Parking was convenient. Booking online was easy. Definitely recommend a visit.

Definitely worth a visit. Prior to our visit, we had not heard of this place and chose it based on distance to travel. It is a National Trust property so free for members, otherwise £11.60 with gift aid. Everyone from car park steward to the ladies scanning our NT cards, to the volunteers in the different rooms of the house and the staff in the cafe were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The volunteers in the rooms were also very knowledgeable and were interesting to listen to. There are also information folders in each room and on arrival you are given a leaflet with a floor plan and room information. The gardens and church open at 10am and the house at 11.30am. Arrive early as it gets busy. The church is what remains of an Augustinian Priory. The gardens are lovely with great views of the surrounding countryside. The Stables tea room has indoor and outdoor seating. There is a selection of hot food (jacket potatoes, soup), sandwiches and cakes plus options for hot and cold drinks. Service was prompt and the food was good.

The Little R’ale House Real Ale, Ciders, Wines, Soft Drinks. No Music, No TV- Just a chance to meet new friends - Like Pubs used to be! The little micro-pub on Wellingborough Station, right by the exit from Platform 1
Very quaint little place. Worth going for a quiet drink. Very good ales. Good to sit out and watch the trains go by.
