The Loft at Brackley Town Hall

Brackley sits in the heart of West Northamptonshire, a market town where the civic buildings anchor the centre. The Loft occupies the top floor of the town hall itself, a restored Victorian structure that now houses a licensed wedding venue on the ground floor and this unusual holiday let in its attic space. Exposed beams frame the sleeping and living quarters, with windows positioned to catch views across rooftops and toward the rolling landscape beyond.

The single bedroom contains a king-size bed, with a z-bed available if you need a third sleeping space. The open-plan living area flows between the kitchen, dining zone and lounge—all essentials for self-catering are covered, including bed linen, towels and wi-fi. You can cook properly, watch films or music on the smart TV, or simply settle on the sofa with a book. There is a bathroom with a separate toilet. An allocated parking space is located 220 yards from the building. Smoking is not permitted indoors.

The town hall's lower level contains a coffee house and wine bar open daily, so breakfast or an evening drink is just downstairs. This works well as a base for exploring the Northamptonshire countryside or as a stopover for couples seeking something different from the usual cottage experience.
