Nice room, in the courtyard (superior double), spacious and modern bathroom. Only downfall was the door to the room had a window in it with no curtain or blind. Bright festoon lights were on all night and shone right in the room. We had to try and stick something over the window but it meant we didn’t sleep well

Very pleasant stay the staff were very good friendly . They treated me with respect and caring.
Had dinner at night very tasty and very good portions .
I am afraid it beat me I will ask for smaller when I stay again .
For a solo visit I felt very safe and everyone was just joining in . Which was nice .
Very nice eating and bar area . Breakfast was plentiful. Very good scrambled eggs. Good choice .
My room was in the court yard which helpful as I had my dog with me so if he needed out I it was easy to put coat on a get outside .
Room was comfy warm nice bathroom everything was at hand .
Only thing the TV could be a little bit bigger but that’s just me being fussy .
So I will definitely have another stay there when I get a chance .

This place is a complete joke. The room looked like it hasn’t been properly maintained in years. The shower head was literally being held up with plastic bands, and the TV remote was patched together with brown tape. If they can’t be bothered to fix the most basic things, it makes you wonder what else they’re cutting corners on. Everything felt cheap, broken, and neglected. For the price they charge, this is unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone unless the entire place gets a serious overhaul.

The hotel is in a very poor state. It needs to be completely refurbished. Our room was shabby, had broken flush for the toilet, broken knob on front door, cracked sink, rusty shower etc. The hotel has a lot of potential but we certainly won’t be returning in the near future.

Dirty rundown hotel

We had room 9.
When we arrived, the door handle was broken and partially hanging off.
The room was dirty with dust everywhere and in desperate need of redecorating
Luckily enough the bed appeared to be clean.the tv had no remote when we finally found out how to switch it on the signal was pretty bad so couldnt watch anything anyway.
Parking was ample and wifi worked.

Very nice old Inn with very welcoming staff.

Good room and queit as at the back of the courtyard overlooking fields.

Really nice meal, very well cooked and presented generous proportion,accompanied by an excellent ale to wash it down.

We'll definitely be staying again.
Our only critisism was having the radio playing in the bar and eating area.
It would be much less distracting and a more relaxed atmosphere if it was just music playing.

Many thanks,

Nice little Inn/Hotel..

The hotel was booked as close quarters to Sibson Airfield. The check in, staff, food were all excellent. The issue I have is the great big LED lights that come on during dark hours that illuminate RM11 like it was Xmas. Either put curtains up by the door window, change the door to a solid door or change the settings of the lights in the courtyard to motion only. I had to move the cupboard across the door to get some semblance of sleep. Other than this everything was great.

Convienently located on the north bound side of the A1. An interesting stone building with rooms around a courtyard and in a row of converted cottages / barns. The room condition was a little tired but functional. Restaurant menue was limited but the food hot and tasty. Breakfast was buffet style English with quality ingredients but limited choice. Staff were professional and welcoming. Location is yards from the busy A1 however the rooms at the rear are surprisingly quite.

On our trip just let let with a bit of bad housekeeping. The duvet on our bed was badly stained, too late to change it as we arrived late, ate then had a few things in reception before going to our room. Reception next day couldn’t understand how housekeeping missed it , but they obviously did ! Without the stained duvet marks would have been higher, but it was quite bad & should not have been missed !

Good option, close to Peterborough

One night buisness stop over. All comments are relative to proce paid... it is a very affordable stopover on the A1 not far from Peterborough - although access is a little bit tiresome if approaching from the north as you have to pass the hotel and then return on the north bound carriageway. In my opinion, attempting a u-turn as indicated by sat-nav is foolish and outright dangerous so continue to the next proper junction and survive!

The hotel is a pub with rooms in converted buildings around the courtyard. Being on the side of the A1 some noise is inevitable so if that will be an issue ring ahead and see if a ground floor room behind the pub is available as they will be the quietest, although i doubt even they are totally quiet. Room 20, upstairs and away from the road had some noise but wasnt intolerably. The bathroom is functional but tired. I'm never a fan of shower curtain over bath - all was clean but they have a habit of grabbing, dont they!

Dinner... classic english pub menu and all looked fine and the pie was filling. Restaurant had a mix of families, businessmen (yes, they were all men) and friends dining.

Breakfast... cooked to order. Cereal and tradiotanl english options available.

Overall, perfectly good in all aspects for the price paid. If in area again i would consider stopping again.

The inn is located right next to a busy A road so I was worried that it may be noise inside from the sound of the traffic, but once in our room we could not hear anything. The cleanliness of the inn was fine, there were the odd bits of dust on the light fittings but nothing to really complain about. The carpet on the stairs to the rooms could do with a freshen up but that’s the only negative I can really give.

Old style coaching house

Old style coaching house that has been converted to a lovely pub and hotel\inn.
Lots of free parking and very good food at the pub. A nice freshly cooked breakfast each morning helped start the day.
I was upgraded to a larger than average room, in fact it was huge, with a massive bathroom. My room faced directly out onto the A1 yet heard no road noise at all. Nice size working desk and TV with Netflix made being in the room very comfortable.

Staff were very friendly very welcoming. If you’re used to sleek high-rise corporate hotels this may not be the venue for you, due to its age of when it was originally built(I believe around the 1700s), The door frames are a little low the walls aren’t completely straight however this is an excellent base for the area.
