Do not accomadate disabled people.
Rang up after initially booking the table to state we would need a disability access table as my grandad cannot use steps . They did provide a downstairs table ( was late in preparation) but did not inform us they do not provide disability toilets which when half way through the meal my grandad needed the toilet this of course made a bug probelm, forcing him to go toilet outsode in the car park.
When questioned about why they did not , they did particularly seem to bothered to be honest. Really disappointed by this and for this reason i would not come back

We have had several meals in this restaurant and the quality is always consistent. It is reasonably priced and nicely presented. Do bear in mind however that this dinning area is split over 2 floors. The first floor is accessed via a flight of very steep stairs. So if you have difficulty with mobility ensure that you book ahead to guarantee one if the limited ground floor tables.
Staff are friendly and very accommodating, especially with dietary needs.
Toilets are bright, spacious and well maintained.
Well worth a visit.

Had a couple of nights stay here as working nearby. Nice room, good food and good service.
Rooms are out the back of the pub, a group of chalets. Room had a nice sized bed, and was comfortable. Had a little issue with hot water one evening but had plenty the next morning.
Breakfast was fairly limited when compared to other hotels I've been to, but was well cooked. Restaurant had a decent choice for the evening meal and a fair choice of drinks. Food was good, well cooked and pretty fast out of the kitchen.
All in all, was a nice stay. Will be back when I work nearby again.

Nice place and lots of seating outside for when the weather is nice.
Convenient for walks along Nene Valley and as a stop off from A14 as a place to relax and unwind in a country pub rather than a busy services.

Met for a pre Christmas lunch with family. I had the Blade of Beef- delicious, hubby had duck breast- lovely but small portion - not whole breast which was disappointing. Desserts were really good, service was excellent. We'll definitely be back!

What a cheek. I paid a £54 50% deposit for a room in cash after having a few drinks here some weeks ago and asking my wife if she wanted a date night stay. Unfortunately due to break ins of cars in the road, mine and my daughters cars had there drivers window smashed I had to cancel 24hrs early . So I rang them and some lady who answered had the cheek to ask for the remainder of the room price as I was not cancelling within 48hrs. Good job I paid in cash. I won't be coming back.... Ever..... and I will make sure I let friends and family know. Unbelievable.
Hi Shannon,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my review. I understand that cancellation policies are necessary, and I appreciate your explanation. However, my frustration stemmed from the unexpected nature of the situation I was in, having to deal with car break-ins just 24 hours before my planned stay. It was an unusual and stressful circumstance, and I had hoped for a bit more understanding at that moment.
While I now understand that the option to move the booking to a different date may have been possible, it was not clearly communicated during my call. I felt that the response I received lacked empathy given the challenging situation I was facing, which led to my decision to share my experience.
I have edited this review on the response I had from Shannon. My initial rating was based on exasperation, rather than facts which I apologise for. I appreciate independent business need revenue like this post Covid but small businesses usually stem from a culture of experience and lessons learnt. Always have these teachings in place from day 1.

I’ve eaten here regularly for the past couple of years. I’ve left positive reviews as the food has been excellent. Called in yesterday for lunch and I was disappointed. I wasn’t particularly hungry and just ordered a chicken wrap. It looked okay but was actually dry and tasteless. My friend just ordered some chips. They were not cooked to the point of being hard in the middle. We were not asked how are meal was so we left feeling very disappointed. Come on wool pack, you can do better than this!
