    The room was spotlessly clean, airy and had WiFi and a TV. Loved their soft drinks, served in the main bar.

    Had a very lovely stay for wedding, glad I've chosen it. The hotel provided great prices. Pretty friendly and amicable staff that liked their guests. I booked a single room with central heating, iron/ironing board and television. The food was outstanding and the location was exceptionally nice and ideal.

    The food quality was so great with a delicious hunter chicken, but check-in chaos made arrival stressful.

    friendly staff
    disappointing veggie option

    Delicious food, cozy atmosphere

    The pub grub was good, particularly the Sunday carvery. The choices of meats and vegetables were cooked to perfection, and the friendly staff enhanced the cute environment.

    Unfortunately, the veggie option was disappointing, lacking appeal and flavor. Some noise from other patrons was noticeable, which detracted from overall comfort.

    Possibly the best and very enjoyable stay for wedding. Great value and a nice size room with comfy bed and smoke detectors for safety measures. Free parking on-site provided. Not to mention free wifi...

    great shower

    The room was clean, and the beds were super comfortable. The shower was great, and there were plenty of towels. It's in a good location, just a 20-minute drive from peterborough. The tea and coffee in the room were a nice touch.

    check-in was a bit chaotic, but it wasn't a big deal.

    unimpressive veggie option

    Great Carvery Experience

    While the veggie option didn't impress, the overall food quality made up for it. The room was basic but comfortable, and the staff were genuine in their efforts to ensure a pleasant stay. Check-in could definitely use a bit of a boost in organization.

    affordable dining
    disorganized check-in
    uninspiring vegetarian options
    noise disturbance

    The room featured comfortable beds and was clean, with good shower facilities and an ample supply of towels. A significant highlight was the affordable Sunday carvery, though the veggie option left something to be desired with its unappealing presentation. Check-in was notably disorganized, and there was a distinct lack of attention during busy periods. Although parking was straightforward, noise from nearby patrons detracted from the overall comfort of the experience.
