The bedroom could benefit from improved sound insulation

Location excellent, dinner and breakfast were both very good.

Nothing to not like to be fair. If I'm to be really picky then some EV charges would have been a complete 💯

The working team were very attentive and the staff actually looked like they wanted to be there which is always a bonus, the breakfast was delicious and the food (although we never had dinner as we'd eaten) looked very enticing. We'd definitely make it as a place to dine in the future. Beautifully set within a cricket green area, great location and friendly pub.

I think that the business needs more staff. The bartender had to check us into the rooms, meaning that they had to leave the pub to help us. I also had requested a cot on the original booking, and nobody replied to me. Then, when we arrived, I asked about the cot and was told that they would ask their manager. In the end, I had to physically chase this up, and told them that I presumed the answer was no. Indeed, it was, meaning we had to buy one because there wasn't a bed for my toddler. Unfortunately, there was a power cut on Saturday evening, which, whilst the staff aren't at fault for this, we felt that there could have been more attempt at hospitality. We were very much left to our own devices. It felt very much like the pub and restaurant are the focus, and the hotel side of things isn't as important to them as a business. I also encountered a staff member going into one of our rooms an hour before check out. Presumably, to see if they could clean, but surely, since check out was at 11, they could have waited. Wasn't too impressed as we had a lot of personal belongings out in the room.

The food was absolutely incredible, and the rooms were nicely decorated, plus there was plenty of parking and space on the property. The staff were generally quite friendly, and I found that in the pub / restaurant of an evening, the manager was really engaged with us and seemed like he would go out of his way to keep us happy, as we also had friends joining us the following day. It's a shame, because this place has such potential, and I really cannot praise the food enough, but I have certainly stayed in better accommodation.

Bed very narrow. Shower extremely hot & non-adjustable. Terrible racket in the bar until 2 am on Saturday evening. TV in room very small.

Room clean & comfortable, staff very good.

I explained I was coeliac and couldn’t eat wheat/gluten. My breakfast came with only GF bread. Had a sausage that wasn’t GF etc. Allergies are extremely important so my only advice is this pub needs to invest in some staff training on allergies for both staff front of house and the chef.

Lovely room, clean and comfy bed.

The room was very dated. The bed was small and uncomfortable. The toilet did not flush properly. When we checked out there were no staff present and there was no breakfast available.

The staff were very friendly and approachable. The room was clean.

The Breakfast could have been better, bacon so over cooked.

The staff where good, a nice pub with the rooms separate from the venue.

The bed was a little uncomfortable but not terrible.

I like the beautiful outdoor space, lovely garden and seating outside. Breakfast was good. even though there wasn't a specific vegan breakfast available on the Menu, they provided us with a nice vegan fry-up. The room was simple but had everything you may need.

The only drawback was the loud music on Friday night.

Our room was spotless and lovely white fluffy bath towels. Breakfast was very good, in spite of the power cut they managed to cook a very good breakfast. Would stay again.

Room was chilly, but had an electric heater in cupboard, plugged that in & warmed up nicely.

A lovely country style pub with rooms set in a quiet & pretty location. Staff were great, especially the young man behind the bar, no trouble making a coffee & hot chocolate after we returned late from a party😍rooms are lovely, clean & comfortable, bed a little hard for me! Breakfast was very nice & served by one person( 8 in our party)great job!

The radiator in our room was out of action so we had a plug in that worked fine, the room was a good size and exactly what we wanted as a one night stay... Breakfast was exceptional, however, we had to request that the lights were turned on as we initially served in the dark!

WiFi in the room had a very week signal so had to do my work admin in the bar. Slightly offset by a nice pint of Guiness.

Good breakfast, nice staff, nice room.

The rooms are extremely outdated with no inside lock on them. The venue itself including the eating areas and customer toilets were very dirty and unpresentable. I honestly expected a lot more of this place. There was no staff present to clean the tables or greet any guests staying over night at breakfast. The were no lights on, tables were not clean or prepared. I had to actually knock on the kitchen door to find someone, very unprofessional. Such a shame for somewhere in such a lovely location, with so much potential that even boats Michelin stars on their doors. It came across as tired and as though people no longer cared about it. Hopefully my stay was just bad timing with minimal/ untrained staff.

The location is great if you are attending nearby functions/events at Braxsted park or alike. There was a good selection of teas and coffees in the room. The water bottles and biscuit were also a nice touch.

Minor - Room a bit chilly on arrival, WiFi not great in room, breakfast really about the cooked choices.
