This is a very attractive thatched pub set in an idyllic village. We stayed on a Monday night and had been told that their restaurant was closed. However they brought a couple of excellent sandwiches to the room. The room was nicely decorated and there was an adjoining shower room. It was quiet and we slept well. Breakfast was good. The room had an outside area which would have been nice if the weather had been better.

My only criticism would be that the weather in early June was grim and the room was cold when we arrived. There was an electric radiator but it this took some hours to warm the room. It would have been great if someone had turned it on prior to our arrival.

It’s beautiful, simply that! I couldn’t wait to get inside and it far exceeded my expectations. Tastefully decorated and beautifully clean. I’d booked 2 garden rooms which were able to be connected! Felt like we were in a private bungalow. Easy access and car can park right outside. Owner super helpful and went out of his way to drop us to a family wedding in the next village. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Food good! Thank you!!

I’m only disappointed that I couldn’t stay longer!

We stayed at The Crown for Burghley Horse Trials, - only 10 miles away. Our room was comfortable and quiet, we parked the car just ouside and there were no stairs to climb. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food well prepared and presented.

We found the food portions were too large and wished there had been a 'light bites' or senior citizens menu so as to avoid waste

Room and bed was very comfortable and very spacious. Great private parking directly outside the room Great for a quick stopover when travelling

No Sunday dinner options in the pub - I had to drive to a nearby town to get dinner (it wasn't far though) It was a little odd walking into the pub in the afternoon as it's not very clearly signposted where to go to get your key. Everyone (clearly locals) just stared at me, which could be a bit daunting if travelling alone

Simply excellent. The staff is very friendly, the owner is a splendid gentlemen and on top, an truly excellent chef, the rooms are comfortable and foreseen of all creature comforts one could which for. It's an absolute certainty we'll go back to the Crown Inn whenever we are in the region !

Nothing really, there's nothing not to like. And on top of all the good things the Crown Inn has to offer, the local people are very friendly and interested in who you are and why you are visiting the region.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch, great service. The room was lovely, so many nice touches and everything you could reasonably expect, and then a little more. Above all else, the staff sprinkled a little extra icing on the cake - a great stay, we would definately return.

We should have stayed an extra evening - nothing else

First class restaurant and service. Staff always kind, helpful and welcoming. Homely atmosphere. Very comfortable and warm room with ultra modern bathroom. Extra clean. Nice touches such as availability of gluten free cereal and bread plus alcohol free beer and wine. Set in a charming, historic village.

Mixed fruit including bananas and berries for breakfast would be nice but accept these may not be available out of season.

Beautiful location, close to Peterborough. Fantastic country pub with friendly and efficient staff and excellent food. The rooms are amazing and the local area is stunning in parts.

It’s quite isolated, but quiet as a consequence and the wi-fi is not great as you might expect, but it’s ok as long as you don’t need to be online all the time.

we had a really lovely stay, everything was amazing food, location, staff, room.& will be back

we stayed in Elton room & there was a terrible smell in the cupboard/wardrobe in the room which you could hardly smell when the door was closed but when you opened it it was poignant & extremely strong. We were unable to hang any clothes up in there (especially because we were attending a wedding) because the smell was so bad. The room was NOT unclean on little bit…we think there might have been a spillage previously.

Breakfast was excellent, and the location was ideal for Burghley House. The staff were first rate and excellent and we were well served by them. If the fates conspire and I am in the area again I will visit again.

Staff were vulnerable to the 'caprices' of the accommodation. The outer door had been shut against me, fortunately the staff were still there at midnight so could let me in. Another couple struggled to get in. This one will test your negotiating skills! Housekeeping had a 'bad day at the office' as there were no towels and one used coffee mug was missed.
