Highgate House

Our venue is a striking country mansion in the picturesque Northamptonshire village of Creaton. Originally a coaching inn, it has evolved into a superb venue for all kinds of events.

Its continued development has been careful to maintain the beauty of the original building, successfully combining 17th century charm with 21st century comfort.

Highgate House is only a short distance from Northampton, The Historic Althorp House and the M1, M6 and A14.

The historic, family atmosphere is strong throughout the estate, but is perhaps most noticeable in the rooms in and around the main house; each containing centuries of memories almost tangible to those within.

Please note that the hotel has no lift. Not all accommodation is in the 17th century building, most is in modern extensions across from the property.

Rooms: 98
