Mixed

We went to stay to be near a family occasion and found this to be a good value for money. There are a number of minor issues where a socket didn’t seem to work, a party which carried on to midnight we didn’t know about and the bar closing early on a Sunday, but the people were very helpful and friendly and the food for breakfast was excellent and gluten-free. Parking is limited but they are planning on expanding that so if that’s important you need to know. in terms of sustainability it’s a 400 year-old building so full marks for that, otherwise didn’t seem to be a priority.

Brilliant find very convenient for IWM Duxford. As a gluten intolerant pescatarian, I cannot fault the service and quality of the food. Despite there being nothing on the menu suitable for me to eat, chef made me truly delicious fishy main and gluten free dessert. Fantastic.

Parking fine despite being told it was ok to park

Don’t stay here. I was told to park “by the sheds” across the road as the car park (of a very small number of spaces) was full. I did so and have now received a £100 fine through the post. After contacting the pub they are not claiming any responsibility. Book somewhere else where there are more parking spaces and they are genuinely free of charge!

The staff were cheerful and helpful. The toilet bowl was dirty, the shower outlet was partial block and tea table sticky. The new management don’t seem to have yet to have got on top of housekeeping yet.

Lovely Friendly Hotel

Lovely big room, very comfy bed and gorgeous quality bed linen. A friendly, welcoming hotel where everyone is hard working. Our dog Jessica was made very welcome too. My only feedback is that I am a very light sleeper and somewhere in the hotel there was a door banging which I think can be easily solved by tightening up the damper.
