“Lovely characterful inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

I booked three rooms for one night at the Three Tuns Hotel for myself, my elderly parents and my son's girlfriend. We were travelling from North Wales to attend my son's pass out parade at nearby Bassingbourn Barracks the next day. We had two double (en suite) rooms and the single (shared bathroom, but only shared with one other room). We did not have too much time to explore the area, however a stroll around the village was very pleasant and we would have loved more time in such a pretty village and surroundings.

Our rooms were absolutely fine, I was lucky to have the four poster very pretty room. The village is quiet so traffic noise is very little. We ate in the restaurant that night and the food was of a good standard and value. My Dad totally over indulged in a massive liver and bacon casserole portion (his favourite!). Mum was the only one of us to order a pud and this was a huge slice of rich cheescake. Son's girlfriend had a huge serving of very plump sausages, mash and onion gravy. Needless to say we were not up for a huge breakfast, but we were offered a full choice by the very amenable breakfast chef, and he was very flexible in meeting all our individual choices.

I felt that this was a very pleasant place, with a lovely garden in which we would certainly have lingered, had the weather been good. Prices are amongst the most reasonable I found, especially as the location is so convenient for London and Cambridge.

The ONLY thing I would mention for prospective visitors is that, the heart of the building dating back to 1700's, the stairs are tricky for anyone with mobility difficulties. My Dad struggled a little, but managed with help. He would not have done so without help. However, once he sorted his feet and stick combo, he managed the spiral bits and the (one) low beam fine. It is a very short flight afterall.

We had a very pleasant stay, with friendly staff who showed real interest and wished us genuine best wishes for our 'Big Day'. I would not hesitate in staying at the Three Tuns Hotel again if I was visiting the area.

Room Tip: Room 2 is airy with four poster. A pretty room.

“Overpriced.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2011

Not impressed by manager but chef and bar staff very friendly. Feels tired and in need of lick of paint. Would expect much more for the price.

“Food NOT GOOD”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

we wanted to try a new pub for sunday lunch and i can say i will never be going back and how the hell are they in the good pub guide 2011....... the size of the meals were small and when my meal came the stuffing was cold in the middle, when we asked for some more veg we were given a small bowl of veg and got charged £3 for it. it is like this place is run by teens. We will not go back and its a shame as the pub looks great but the food is very bad.

“Terrible meal!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

Myself and my husband went for a meal today at the three tuns. The service on arrival
was ok. I ordered sword fish, veg and mash at £12.95, when the meal finally came 40 minutes later...my veg was so hard i couldn't cut it and the fish was like leather in a watery sauce, a prawn sandwich that was ordered was stale and prawns part frozen.
On paying the bill they tried to over charge us for our meal, stating to the staff that we didn't eat it she got the manager. He then told us that he had to throw away two meals, and was abrupt and rude to us..... we were made to feel very uncomfortable even the chef came out to find out looking for a fight...we will not be returning there and if you want my advice if you want a decent meal and good service you will stay well clear! shame ashwell is a lovely village with not that many good places to eat.
