Very friendly staff who showed me to the door. The hotel is very historic (I think 16th Century) and there's a cosy bar area. The rooms are always clean and the beds comfortable. Buckden is a lovely historic village and it's right by the A1. Continental breakfast is cereals and toast which is enough for me.

The decor is a bit dated and the furniture in the rooms a bit tired. It's a challenge with sloping floors and wonky door frames to find a solution. I hope as they grow they invest in upgrading some rooms. The WIFI only works in the bar area.

We stayed for one night after meeting up with friends. We were greeted at the desk by a friendly young girl who explained everything to us what we needed to know, including the booking of breakfast. The room was clean and just what we needed for our stay. Was a little concerned about being located above the outdoor seating area but it quietened down quickly and didn’t disturb us at all. After a good night sleep we went down for breakfast, was asked about any dietary needs and was given a delicious vegetarian breakfast. Overall a good experience and I enjoy staying in places with character and heritage

Fascinating old coaching inn so be prepared to haul cases up narrow stairs, but you get atmosphere and pretty pub in exchange. Rooms comfortable, warm and very clean. Good bed - we slept well - and hot shower and everything comfortable. Staff very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked.

We were only staying for 2 nights so room wasn't made up but not an issue for us for short stay. I asked for refresh of teabags and toilet rolls on second night and staff happy to resupply. Take care with hot water - it's very hot, and you need to adjust shower temperature carefully to get it right!

Really friendly hotel that was dog friendly. Undergoing some renovations during our stay, but it didn't cause any disruption. The staff were just lovely and clearly wanted everyone to have a great stay, which we did. Our room was big and comfortable with everything we needed and we both slept really well. The breakfast - full English- was delicious and great value. We will return to see the hotel in its full glory very soon... thank you for such a warm and welcoming stay.

The new owner is in the midst of giving the hotel some much needed tlc but we really enjoyed our stay and don't have anything negative to say - the hotel is a little tired but it's all in hand.

We were a cycle group, so we liked the option to get an early breakfast and get on the road again at 8am Evening meals were good. There was a bit of a delay the night we were there so meals were a bit late coming - but very much worth the wait when they did come. The staff went out of the way to make feel at home and sort out safe places to store our cycles. Ev room is a bit different and we loved the historic nature of the building and the many quirky features.

All fine for us.

I love this building. The staff really went the extra mile re. my gluten and lactose intolerances. They even went to the shop to get me some oat milk. At first I thought there wasn't any hot water but I realised that it just took a long time coming, as the building is so old. Had a lovely hot bath and then a superb shower the next day.

Half the TV stations weren't available and the internet kept dropping out. This didn't bother me but it annoyed my partner who likes to watch telly and use his phone.

Staff very helpful and friendly could do enough to make ones stay pleasant. Typical medieval building/inn nothing level but that is what you expect from a very old building. Decor was good and all clean. had a Four poster bed and a really large bath with shower. tea and coffee in the room and tv. Breakfast, I had continental, cereal, juice tea or coffee fresh fruit and toast. All good for me. One could have a cooked breakfast if required.

I don't think it effected all the rooms. But the room I stayed in was above a speaker and the music especially the beat resonated through the room and wasn't shut down till 11.20pm! Just unfortunate, as when you went out on to the landing the beat did not come through! Just need to move the speaker or turn it off earlier!

Super friendly & helpful staff; all staff were truly lovely, but the lady that served us at breakfast couldn't do enough - loved her! Very clean, lovely big room (junior suite), beautiful old building, good quality breakfast, excellent parking. Handy to have a little convenience store 2 doors down and lots of places to eat in walking distance if you wanted to eat elsewhere... although the food was great in the hotel! Even the locals in the pub & the local store were really friendly and made you feel welcome. It was a great place to stay whilst our daughter was at camp at Grafham Water over the weekend!

Nothing!

Lovely place to stay, very clean attractive rooms, good breakfast cooked to order. Will definitely stay there again. The staff who greeted us and the staff in the morning were very welcoming.

Arrived back at the hotel at 10.40 to find the bar closed, staff member just clearing up, not willing to allow us drinks even though we were residents. This was disappointing as everything else about the place was so nice

Staff were absolutely exceptional and really went the extra mile to make sure our needs were met. Decor was lovely and blended the historic elements with modern comforts very well. Meals (dinner and breakfast) were lovely.

As you might expect from a historic building, the floors are a bit squeaky and uneven in places. Also there can be a bit of noise from the street outside. However, these were really minor inconveniences and to be expected from the age of the building!
