Enjoy a peaceful cottage break in the country. Farthingstone is a delightful village in a secluded location in the county of Northamptonshire in England. Set at the head of a stunning valley, Farthingstone is extremely small, with a population of only a couple of hundred residents, but there is a historical 13th century church in the settlement, as well as a village hall and a cosy pub, The Kings Arms, which serves food and is home to a herb garden. Its main attraction, however, is the Farthingstone Golf Club which should definitely be visited if you love to play a round or two of the sport. This sprawling golf club is set in a tranquil area and features an 18-hole golf course, a 60-seater restaurant, a cosy lounge and bar and areas to play squash and snooker.
Just eleven miles or a 25 minute drive from Farthingstone is the county town of Northampton, which makes a wonderful day trip for those looking to see a different side to Northamptonshire. Here, you and your loved ones will find a great shopping district, a wonderful market square – one of the largest in Britain and dating back to the 13th century, and plenty of theatres, museums and galleries. If you love culture and history then this is the place to be, and you will have a fun and action-packed day exploring the delights of Northampton.
To end each day of exploring Farthingstone and its surroundings, it is always nice to come home to lovely accommodation. There are several self-catering cottages available where you and your family can do just that, unwinding in front of the TV on the sofa, chatting to friends and reflecting on your exciting holiday. Farthingstone may be quiet but it is a great choice of village when wishing to have a break in Northamptonshire.
