The Folly Inn

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!
