our setting

Holiday Inn Corby-Kettering is ideally located near some of England’s most beautiful countryside. Close to Britain’s newest motorsport complex – Rockingham - and within easy reach of some of the most magnificent castles and stately homes in the country. Together with conference and event facilities, it’s the perfect choice for both business and leisure guests.

Just over 60 years ago, Corby was an unobtrusive stone-built village with a population of only 1,500 - and a main street of cottages and shops, intermingled with several old-fashioned pubs. Rising above this peaceful setting was the beautiful old church of St. John the Baptist which was soon to witness the most startling transformation in its history - the emergence of Corby as the boom town of the 30's and a symbol of the age of steel.

In the 1980s the closure of the iron and steel making departments devastated the town but new industries, such as the Oxford University Press, RS Components and Avon Cosmetics, have moved in to take their place.
