Went today! Couldn’t get out fast enough ! Shabby unclean. Pint of bit burger and a bottle of cider with one packet of cheese and onion crisps cost £14.00! Dearer than the O2 arena lol. Shame as just moved in local but won’t be back in a hurry!!!!!!!

Booked in advance as it gets busy especially on Sundays. Food very good offers nice menu. The staff very professional and attentive to our needs. Can be expensive with the combination of food and drink. Will call again as it has a nice setting.

Went in for a drink and food after a countryside walk. It is a large pub with several bars and a big restaurant area. The food was very good and there is an excellent range of beers on offer. Surroundings, food and service all top notch, couldn't wish for more from a meal out

Arrived in fantastic weather for an overnight stay whilst visiting the Imperial War museum. Nice reception cold glass in the garden . Shown to our clean room in the garden . Even got a visit from the friendly cat . £30 taxi ride into Cambridge. Upon returning at 9 pm on a Sat night , The pub ( showing football ) was totally deserted. We were the only customers!!! Nice place £28 for a bottle of wine expensive. No tea or coffee in the rooms . Breakfast very average. We would stop again but locals need to use it or lose it !

What a lovely welcome. Following a long drive we fancied a drink before checking in to The Holiday Inn next door. The gentleman at the bar was very jolly and chatty and after a bit of indecision from us he gave us time to sit at a table where we decided to eat. The food was great and all staff bent over backwards to be polite and ensure we were comfortable. Sadly we didn’t stay but will be back to try out the rooms. We stayed once before under old management but it’s clear to see positive improvements being carried out. Thank you.

We were looking forward to some rare roast beef for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately, it was so rare it never arrived at our table! At 1.30pm we were informed that there had been a rush on rare beef and only beef well done was available. Disappointed, we opted instead for lamb - so long as it was cooked rare. What we got was medium to well done lamb. Doubly disappointing. Good service, lovely veg but poorly organised and executed.

Comfortable and quiet room, great breakfast and a delicious dinner. What more could you want. Thanks to Sam for looking after us so well. We will definitely be back. Apparently this review has to be 200 characters long so I will definitely recommend the pork belly….made it!

Very stark and unwelcoming room with the smallest television possible and terrible lighting. Hard floors, a poor quality mattress and torn duvet cover conspire to make this feel like a cheap motel. A loud high pitched buzzing noise in the bathroom was particularly irritating. Everything in and around the pub, rooms and gardens is slightly shabby and uncared for, which is a shame as it is clear the initial investment was made in the buildings. The service on arrival was casual to the point of disinterest, and the restaurant service was equally poor….got the feeling the two people running the establishment found customers quite tedious and inconvenient. The food was okay, but neither inspiring or skilled. Won’t be back…
