The Jester has been a destination for us for years. My husband worked nearby and would stay here when in the UK (we are American). As a result, we now have a number of good friends that live locally, and go back often to spend time with them, always spending time at the "J". Brian and Maggie have recently returned... More

Myself and my husband got married at the jester whilst Stephane and Natacha were the managers. We had a fantastic wedding and they had brilliant attention to detail, it was the perfect day. Since our wedding we have been regular customers and enjoyed every visit. We went a couple of weeks ago and was greeted well by Anthea (who served... More

A group of 12 of us stayed at the Jester last June. We attended a wedding a few miles away from the Jester, so the location was very handy for us. The rooms are simple and a bit dated but certainly did the job - a place to rest our heads for the night. For the price, the hotel was... More

We've always enjoyed lovely, mid-week, evening meals here - the food is great and the service and environment is friendly, never rushed, never forgotten.....but then something happens during the weekend and all relaxed, friendliness is replaced with a strange distant, "really rather you hadn't ruined our weekend approach to customers". Sunday Lunch wasn't a good experience; which we didn't expect... More

I spent an evening in the Jester's recently with my wife. It was truly awful, we could not find anyone to check in, our room was very dirt with what looked like either red wine or sick stains up our wall. Towels smelt of mould and the bed sheets did not feel clean. Breakfast was served by a rude waitress... More

The hotel gives a good room and good breakfast. However it can be noisy due to the trains passing a few times an hour. Also pub guests make it sometimes noisy. But the atmosphere is good and the people are very friendly. More

The Jester has a postal address in Baldock, Hertfordshire. The railway station of Station Road is Ashwell Station - and Ashwell (a mile and a half away) too is in Hertfordshire. But Ashwell Station (a few yards away) and The Jester are in Cambridgeshire. (Don't worry about noise from the trains - they are in a cutting). So The Jester... More

whilst the building is quite pleasant the current manager ,as she introduced herself , has no interest in the customers and was more interested in playing with her baby son in the bar... not a good thing to be doing at 10pm at night ! The standard of the food was atrocious and when challenged the staff soley gave a... More

We stayed at the Jester on Monday night the 27th September, and can not fault the place. On arrival the greeting was both proffesional and warm. Our room was clean comfortable and had everything that we wanted or needed. The hotel did seem rather quiet that night but it was a Monday, however both members of staff who were on... More
