Ok
Room clean and spacious with nice decor. Only downside was that it was pretty noisy, mainly the constant slamming of the main door but also able to hear people in the other rooms. Breakfast was good and staff pleasant.

Amazing stay at The Cricketers
Extremely friendly staff. Very welcoming and dog friendly. The building was a beautifully preserved 15 century pub. Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Meals were amazing, we had dinner and breakfast there. I would highly recommend.

Great accommodation and service
I really liked the service and as a lone traveller the restaurant and bar were a great place to be. Although I was working it just felt great. The room was spacious and there was thought given to fresh milk, plenty of tea as well as being spacious.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Dinner was divine with plenty of options for my dairy intolerance. Bed was very comfy and room was spacious. The shower was delightful with fantastic water pressure. Complimentary soap/shampoo/conditioner was a really nice touch.
