Will be great in the summer
The location is out in the fens and quite remote making it extremely peaceful.
The only diabetics to my stay was the temperature of the room which barely got above 16 degrees despite the electric radiator being on.

Beautiful room, very spacious. A lovely place to stay.
The sink in the bathroom needs replacing and the taps are press down ones, not suitable for the job.
Found the bed and pillows uncomfortable but that was me.

This property is an Inn.
The bar was open on Friday night.
But on Saturday 22:00 when I got back everything was shut down and i had to use the key to access the property.
So i saw staff on check in and Saturday night when i called into the bar.
So my visit was virtually self service.

Excellent country inn
A friendly cosy pub with well finished rooms tucked away but close enough to the main A17. Fine selection of local beers and good food.

The room that we stayed in was huge and had everything that we needed.
It’s a shame that they don’t offer breakfast as we had an evening meal in the bar which was lovely.
Couldn’t check in until late afternoon which was also a shame but thankfully it was a dry day and we could take a walk along the river and village - could they not set up some sort of keysafe check in system so could at least get into the room (other places that we’ve stayed at have done this and it worked well but completely understand that it may not be an option for this property) and wouldn’t stop us staying here again.

We stayed for a night for my birthday and my father in laws birthday and we spent the afternoon in front of the fire which was so cosy and relaxing. We then had dinner and had the famous ribs…we were all blown away by the quantity and quality of meat. The staff were incredibly friendly! The room we stayed in was huge and comfortable. Definitely will be returning! A fabulous stay.
