If you need a place to stay in this area, this is a perfect spot. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend the dinner here as well. We even had horses in the fenced area right off our patio. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit the area!
Tim
It’s on a busy road junction with slightly drafty rooms, tired decor and only adequate pub food. Nothing special, and breakfast was equally dreary. Staff are friendly, but this is a tired inn, with little to recommend wholeheartedly and certainly overpriced for the quality

One night Business Stay, just the ticket
Just as required. Quiet peaceful rooms. Simple check in, room just what is needed. Even managed to have a fan in room which larger hotels seemingly always struggle to manage to even consider. Staff pleasant and not overbearing in allowing you to just do your own thing at own pace.

Convenient, friendly, room basic , but good enough.

Nice but freezing water
Excellent apart from no hot water and no service recovery
Vance
What a fantastic pub and restaurant the staff could not have made use feel more welcome.The rooms were large with a comfortable bed with good quality bedding and all the little touches that made our stay excellent.
Duncan
Lovely, clean room
A lovely unique room and great service made this an ideal stop overnight on my way east. Recommended. Only complaint was poor wi-fi in the room. View of fields/horses in the morning was a bonus.

Not the best of stays
I was not welcomed when I arrived to check in, staff continued to serve other people with drinks continuously whilst I was left waiting without even an acknowledgment of my presence. The room was freezing cold when I arrived. Staff were rude on a number of occasions and one particular lady made me feel like I was an inconvenience!. Stay was comfortable but over priced for what it is.

Not bad value at all.
Ok rooms, in a courtyard setting, quite basic but clean and a comfortable bed, with a great shower.
Breakfast was amazing, served hot to the table, just a shame it was on a cold plate!!

Engaged with Staff before I left to say I was running really late - they accommodated me by arranging a key safe, provided great directions to the key, parking and my room - also provided a personal number for me to ask for help if I struggled.
In the morning - the breakfast team helped by making me a bacon sandwich to take on the go as I was due at meetings.
Lovely quiet place, looked out onto field of horses. Would stay again - really clean, lovely and warm, clean, comfy.

Enjoyable stay in rooms at back of main building. Looks like my room had recently been refurbished and some others were undergoing works. Good night's sleep. Food excellent and service very friendly and helpful. Short distance from A14 and parking plentiful. If ever needing accommodation in this area again will return.

Spotlessly clean. Good food. Friendly staff.

Nicholas
Woolpack, Islip
Looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful for an overnighter whilst visiting my elderly parents. Got a great deal on this place, so didn't expect much. Pleasantly surprised, great pub, fantastic patio area, good range of beers. The food was good, room was more than adequate and really comfortable (and cool, even though a fan was also provided). Breakfast amazing, neither the Mrs nor I could finish ours, which is a first for us. Highly recommended.
Yvonne
There were a lot of uneven steps, which need to be made safer. The food was very good, tasty, we enjoyed the dinner and breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Deborah
Friendly and staff helpful, food fantastic, close to country walks, peaceful
Richard
Nice with great food.
Very pleasant. Dining was especially good and staff very helpful.
Andrew
The heating in the room didn’t work on arrival & the staff provided a fan heater. In the bathroom there was mould in the shower & the shower head wasn’t affixed to the supply pipe which led to water hitting the ceiling. Generally poor maintenance.

The Woolpack Islip
A nice overnight stay - accommodation is in chalet style rooms quite basic furnishings but comfortable bed - very clean . Pleasant view of horses in field in back window . Wool pack is very nice and welcoming lively pub ; I arrived on quiz night ) - good breakfast . Great if you are bored of hotels and want something different - also quite good value .

Quick Overnight
The restaurant and local amenities along with location for this inn are excellent. The room itself was dated and needed an upgrade especially the bathroom.
peter
Chalets are fit for purpose but in need of some TLC. Restaurant and bar are very clean and a superb range of meals, reasonably priced. Staff are hit and miss, it depends which day you visit. some staff will talk to you whilst others struggle to even say hello and you are left feeling like an intruder! Would probably stay here again though.
Verified traveler
Could not fault the food, service and politeness.
Disappointed with the accommodation as room is in much needed refurbishment inside and outside. Had to open windows on arrival as smelt musty and damp inside. Mouldy mastic around the bath/shower area. Toilet moved when you reached round for toilet paper and handle on chair in room was dusty.

We visited some elderly friends who have been isolating.
Very good experience, staff kept us and themselves safe at all times during this horrible period of uncertainty. Rooms were clean and nice large bed with lovely crisp clean sheets.

Great value for money
This hotel is great if you are in or need to be in the Thrapston area. It is very clean and welcoming. It doesn’t try to pretend it is 4 star hotel and is great value for money.

Chris
Woolpack Inn, Islip
Good for a one night stay, plenty of room and large bed. only one chair and few cloths hangers. A bit cold for August ut largely due to wet weather and heater in room helped. Nice view over horses and sheep in field behind. Nice cooked breakfast but limited cereals and fruit. Ate at the hotel in the evening and very nice meal if a bit expensive ( £14 for OK steak and ale pie).
James
When you book on hotels.com and pay extra for breakfast they try and charge you an extra £12 a person on the premise claiming it’s not part of the booking when hotel.com says it is I am not sure who is at fault but £12 a person toast and jelly and and egg is crazy
Adrian
Great rooms.
Arrived late so I didn’t eat there but the restaurant was large and a good bar area too. Chalet room was good and with a view.

no wifi and showers for people under 6 ft only
The Wifi within the rooms was slow to non existent considering buissness trip and work was needed to be completed at every evening during my stay,
The main part of the hotel was ok with service and food, unfortunately the rooms especially the bathrooms need updating, showers aren't possible for people above 5ft 6 as have to crouch myself at 6ft3, no power and the shower is either hot or cold

Absolutely fantastic trip, away from home for business is always tough, but these guys have well and truly pulled out all the stops to make myself and my employees welcome.
Absolutely astounding housekeeping team, thoroughly cleaned EVERY day, and so comfortable.

Very comfortable and clean
Lovely place. All the rooms are external to the hotel in beautifully comfortable cabin types. They have all the facilities I needed for a one night stay.
I had a bar meal in the evening which was very tasty and the breakfast was freshly cooked to order.
The views out of the window were lovely overlooking fields.
It was quiet and peaceful. I would stay here again.

A little expensive to what we pay, but going rate!
A nice place, a great breakfast and good helpful staff. Drinks a little expensive but now often pubs are, very nice lunch and breakfast. Nice to see they had some good real ales on.
Very large step in and out of your chalet style room though, so be careful!

Clean and comfortable room but spoiled by attitude
Stayed here in 2017 and it was lovely. Good food, clean rooms, everything onsite so able to have a beer. Unfortunately for us, when we stayed last weekend, there was a wedding on at the hotel. This meant that there was no food being served and there was a disco on until late.
Rather annoyed that the hotel didn't tell us this before we arrived so we then had to drove elsewhere for food (no other local pubs serving food either) and as we have an early start the next morning, the loud disco wasn't great for getting a sleep either.
The room (#8) was clean and comfortable though shower pressure was extremely low. I was hoping the hotel would contact me regarding the comment I left on the guest form but I guess they just don't care enough so make of that what you will.
