Le Folly Inn est un charmant pub-restaurant acceptant les animaux, situé à la sortie de Towcester. Ouvert du mercredi au dimanche, il est ouvert. Il dispose d'un grand parking de secours offrant un espace plat et suffisant pour une dizaine de camping-cars. On nous a demandé de nous garer au bout de la section en gravier, ce qui a très bien fonctionné.

Petit conseil : vérifiez bien les poubelles à utiliser. Nous n'étions pas sûrs, alors nous avons demandé, et ils nous ont indiqué avoir déjà rencontré des problèmes avec les mauvaises poubelles. Elles sont clairement indiquées une fois que vous les connaissez, mais mieux vaut vérifier.

La propriétaire et chef de cuisine, Nicola, gère le Folly avec sa famille, et ils ont été on ne peut plus accueillants. Elle était ravie de nous accueillir pour la nuit, à condition que nous venions prendre un verre ou un repas – et la cuisine était absolument délicieuse ! Si vous y allez le week-end, n'hésitez pas à réserver à l'avance.

Il faut environ 15 minutes à pied pour rejoindre Towcester et, bien que proche d'une route principale, le soir, c'était étonnamment calme.

Je recommande vivement pour une halte : nourriture délicieuse, accueil chaleureux, animaux acceptés et camping-cars bienvenus !

The Folly Inn is a lovely, pet-friendly pub/restaurant just outside Towcester, open Wednesday to Sunday. There’s a big overflow car park with plenty of flat space and room for around 10 motorhomes. We were asked to park at the end of the gravel section, which worked really well.

Just a heads-up – make sure you check which bins to use. We weren’t sure, so we asked, and they mentioned they’ve had issues in the past with the wrong ones being used. They’re clearly marked once you know, but best to double-check.

The owner and head chef, Nicola, runs The Folly with her family, and they couldn’t have been more welcoming. She was happy for us to stay overnight as long as we came in for a drink or a meal – and the food was absolutely fantastic! If you're heading there over the weekend, it’s definitely worth calling ahead to book.

It’s about a 15-minute walk into Towcester, and although it’s close to a main road, it was surprisingly peaceful in the evening.

Highly recommend for a stopover – delicious food, friendly faces, pet-friendly, and very motorhome-friendly!

Das Folly Inn ist ein schönes, haustierfreundliches Pub/Restaurant etwas außerhalb von Towcester und von Mittwoch bis Sonntag geöffnet. Es gibt einen großen, zusätzlichen Parkplatz mit viel ebenem Gelände und Platz für etwa zehn Wohnmobile. Wir wurden gebeten, am Ende des Schotterwegs zu parken, was sehr gut funktionierte.

Nur ein kleiner Hinweis: Achten Sie unbedingt darauf, welche Mülltonnen Sie benutzen dürfen. Wir waren uns nicht sicher und fragten nach, und sie meinten, sie hätten in der Vergangenheit Probleme mit der Nutzung der falschen Mülltonnen gehabt. Sobald Sie es wissen, sind sie deutlich gekennzeichnet, aber am besten überprüfen Sie es noch einmal.

Die Besitzerin und Chefköchin Nicola betreibt das Folly mit ihrer Familie, und sie hätten nicht gastfreundlicher sein können. Sie war gerne bereit, dass wir über Nacht blieben, solange wir auf einen Drink oder eine Mahlzeit vorbeikamen – und das Essen war absolut fantastisch! Wenn Sie übers Wochenende dorthin fahren, lohnt es sich auf jeden Fall, vorher anzurufen und zu reservieren.

Towcester ist zu Fuß in etwa 15 Minuten zu erreichen. Obwohl es in der Nähe einer Hauptstraße liegt, war es abends überraschend ruhig.

Sehr empfehlenswert für einen Zwischenstopp – leckeres Essen, freundliche Gesichter, haustierfreundlich und sehr wohnmobilfreundlich!

    I arrived here one evening at 11 pm the pub was closed so I didn’t have the opportunity to eat or have a drink it was the perfect spot to park very little road noise and a great car park

    Excellent stop, large slightly sloping gravel car park, with allotments behind, free if you eat and the food is top notch, but not cheap. There is road noise but didn't bother us. Our 2nd stop here, rang ahead and they were friendly and welcoming. 10 mins walk into Towcester and had booked a table for dinner, stayed for lunch the next day. Interesting town and worth a visit.

    Very welcoming and super friendly staff. We just missed last orders for food which is 8pm, but we had desert which was lovely. The car park has a gravel overflow area which is mostly flat. Highly recommend it as a stop off. We will come by earlier next time as the foods looked and smelt amazing.

    Völlig unkompliziert, hier zu parken! Wir haben an der Bar gefragt und sind sehr herzlich willkommen geheißen worden. Haben gleich einen Tisch für den Abend reserviert, das Essen war super lecker! Hübsche kleine Stadt mit uralter Geschichte und nahe an Silverstone. Einzig die Nähe zur Straße ist ein kleines Manko. Würden es dennoch empfehlen!

    We stayed here last night. Great food and service, they let us order ahead as we would be the last booking. You definitely need to book ahead as the restaurant was full and well worth it, fabulous food! Road is noisy but didn't affect our sleep.

    We stayed at the pub car park overnight, it was a last minute stop over. The manager was very helpful and friendly, no charge. There are no facilities, so you van has to be self sufficient. The food and service was great. We had a good night sleep and would definitely return.

    As before. Friendly, great food (Sunday Roast), on outskirts of town and opposite racecourse. Lower car park sloping but able to move to better position after clientele left. Food served till 18:00 hrs. Is now primarily a restaurant.

    Stayed the night before camping at Silverstone GP. Emailed in advance and Robert booked us in. As someone said previously gravel area is a bit slopes but more private and tucked away. Beautiful food and friendly staff. Would come again! Just fyi no toilet facilities available at night.

    Very nice pub, food lovely, the staff are very friendly, we email them to ask if we can park the night but would be arriving late, they email back quickly saying yes, and food last order is 8.45pm, large car park part tarmac close to the pub which is flat a level, the rest is gravel a slopes, yes there is road noise but didn’t before us.

    Stellplatz begrenzt auch für größere WoMos geeignet. Abends hört man die vorbeifahrenden Autos, morgens wird man dafür von Vogelzwitschern geweckt. Blieben eine Nacht zur Durchreise - perfekt hierfür. Tolles Essen im Pub, schöne Atmosphäre und super freundliches Personal! Samstag Abend sehr voll, da wenig Tische. Am besten vorher telefonisch ankündigen.
