It's never a pleasure staying in a hotel with work. The staff at this place seem to understand And respond to the fact. The three nights I was there were enjoyable like home from home. The food was so enjoyable. My only comment would be breakfast. The food is lovely but get the impression that you are in the way.... More

We stayed 2 nights in the The Cricketers and were made to feel special by all the staff. The food in the restaurant was excellent with a good choice of affordable wine. The beer was a delight for real ale fans and the atmosphere very relaxing. The pub is set in an archetyptal English country setting and we stayed in... More

A lovely night away at The Cricketers Arms to celebrate my wife's birthday. The staff there were friendly and couldn't do enough for us, we was taken up to our room (room 5) which was clean and spacious with a sofa. The en-suite was a little on the small side and the shower was very tight. The food at the... More

The Cricketers Arms hosted our wedding reception - over 100 people who had a great time and were treated fantastically well by Nick and the staff. Food and drink both went down well, and we were impressed with the care was taken over preparing food for friends with food allergies. Everyone enjoyed their accommodation, and it was great to share... More

Just come home after a lovely night away at The Cricketers Arms to celebrate my husbands birthday. The atmosphere was a traditional English Country pub serving excellent food. We enjoyed wonderful carrot cake for afternoon tea followed by a very nice meal, a lovely room, great service the staff couldn't of been more helpful. Looking forward to returning soon.
