Gabriella on reception when I arrived was lovely. She was covering the bar, reception and serving meals on her own and did a great job. I had a lovely room, very large and comfortable.

This is an old building so this comment should be taken in context. I recently had a hip replacement and found the floor in the bedroom very uneven. Normally this wouldn't have bothered me at all but as I was on crutches it was a bit awkward.

We were staying here to facilitate getting from Cambridgeshire to Scotland/Yorkshire, so we didn't experience the on site food or meet any of the staff in person, but we got a text a few days before to confirm our booking, we explained we were arriving late/leaving early, instructions were sent which were straight forward and text communication was great. We had a breakfast left for us to have in the morning in our room with a little vat of milk/cereal/fruit and fruit juice which was perfect. Room was clean, comfy, tv excellent, bathroom lovely and room was warm, parking felt safe and secure round the back and was dog friendly, would definitely stay here again.

Only sad not to experience the bar/restaurant and meet the staff in person.

Escorted to my room = nice personal touch. charming accom, fully equipped, comfy bed,

nothing. A1 location meant I expected road noise, but there wasn’t any from my room.

Lovely quirky building full of character, loved it, Staff very helpful showed us to our room, we even had a four poster bed with a chandelier no less! First rate food, i had the steak home made pie, lovely! English breakfast was really good. If your going to the Nene Valley Steam Train site this is by far the best place to stay.

nothing, but you would need to drive further up the A1 for any action! but is near by for the steam trains

Personal nature of the place, very kind and friendly staff. The property is right next to A1, but you really didn't hear the traffic, and was easy to get around by car.

Cost of taxis 😞 it's a great location by car, but if you need a taxi to Stamford it can be expensive (consider not drinking! But drive instead)

Evening meal is fantastic please try to make the breakfast as good please

Unfortunately you have a fantastic evening meal but the breakfast is at the other end of the scale dry bacon tinned mushrooms lifeless you have to pay extra for black pudding I just don't understand a great place but the breakfast was a big part for me

Friendly staff, comfortable room and good main courses in the restaurant. (We didn't have other courses).

Bed/mattress could have been newer/bigger. Real ale would have been nice in the bar but wasn't available.

very old plenty of history. staff could not be more helpful. Although on the side of the A1 it is quiet,restful and we were made so welcome. Even had a drink in the gardens watching the rabbits .

The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. We ate in the pub restaurant which was homecooked food of a high standard - I asked for no carbs but loads of veg and I got a vast selection of perfectly cooked vegetables - I was very impressed. Breakfast was also very good.

I hadn't realised the hotel was right on the A1 so the traffic noise was quite loud but we had a bedroom overlooking the open fields at the back which was great.

What makes the difference here are the staff. Top marks especially for Gabrielle for whom nothing seems too much trouble & everything is sunny & smiley. I've stayed here a few times & it has everything you need. It's not fancy and food is OK. But this is all served by excellent people & the price is good.

All good
