Room comfortable but needed... More

This is one of those really old coaching inns that has plenty of original features like really creaky floorboards that both slightly handicap the ability to provide modern hotel luxury, but on the other hand are an integral part of the character of the place. Our bathroom could have done with a bit of a makeover, but everything was clean... More

We arrived at an empty reception area that was eventually manned by a rather taciturn gentleman. The room was rather small but adequate. The double bed was comfortable. The decor throughout the hotel was tired and in need of some TLC. The halls were very cold. I couldn't see the second set of towels and phoned reception to ask for... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night on 10th November as a stop over en route to Whittlebury Hall. The girl on reception is an absolute gem, every hotel should have someone like her. Nothing was too much trouble. She sorted us out a nice quiet room which was warm and cosy. The shower was brilliant; nice and... More
