Holiday Express. It is just opposite the site, so assuming they have a back entrance, it should be a short walk to get there and back.
If not, it will be a reasonable drive....

Will they be doing stuff that side of the A43? I'm not vastly far away so I'll take a gander sometime over see how walkable it is (and what looks like it might be a venue)
There's definitely a gate near Weekly Church and a sort of lodge on the A43 (Google shows it as a road, but I don't think it is public) when [the house and grounds have] been open the signs take you to between Geddington and Grafton underwood. But they own tonnes of fields (and most of Scotland)

Ah I will check again with Dave. It would be nice for him to be able to walk back in the evening. Hmm Dave thinks it doesn't look walkable.
The family room in the Premier Inn looked a better bet, see, and the kids liked the buffet breakfast in the one in Cheltenham...

Dave commented also that it looks like there is an awful lot of land around the grand pile, so theoretically walking in might involve quite a hike...

Boughton House (pronounced Bowton, Bow as in front of a boat) is a great place. Here is the Boughton website which gives a glimpse of the amazing and weird restored landscape.
It is not usually open to the public except for odd days in July.
We have booked a nice B&B just 5 miles from the site - I was the first to ring up for Greenbelt so I had to explain it to a very interested owner who has now put it on her calendar.

I am not sure i would want to walk along the A43 at night - also they may not let us in at the A43 end.
