Needed accommodation close to work and rang direct to make the reservation. After a long day travelling from France followed by several meetings it was lovely to arrive into a cosy warm bar with a log burner lit and a lovely friendly atmosphere. 
We were swiftly checked in and both rooms were clean and warm, with big comfy beds, large tv’s  and lots of tea, coffee and biscuits. 
We then went downstairs for a few drinks and some  dinner. 
The bar staff were excellent , as was the service and our Fish and chips were delicious! 
Can’t fault our stay and we will definitely return. 
Ps - many thanks for the loan of the charger 😁

Great place with really good service

So glad that I found this place on a Google search for pub accommodation. I needed somewhere to stay, fairly local to where I had to be working the next day. No premier inns available for miles or for less than £150, so instead of booking online I dialled the number and spoke to a lovely person who booked me in a double with en-suite for half the cost of the premier inn. The room was small but perfect for me, powerful shower, lots of hot water, tea/coffee making bits n bobs, biscuits and it was clean. Went downstairs to the Inn for dinner, Broccoli and Stilton soup, delicious, and to follow that old pub favourite, scampi chips and peas. Must have been over a dozen good sized scampi, not overdone, full of seafood flavour and went great with the seasoned fries and peas and what I think was a homemade tarter sauce. Great, a couple of pints and time for bed.

Very Good.

Booked for a meal as menu looked very good. When we got there very limited menu as chef was on holiday which we wasn’t told when we booked . Very basic food nothing outstanding and very disappointing overall .

Very disappointing

We stayed at this hotel after booking last minute costing us £69! This hotel is very out of date, the staff are so rude and tried to make us pay extra as soon as we got there, the bathroom is shared. It’s out the way of everything very out of Newmarket town centre. My friend came home with bites all over her legs & booking.com and hotel refuse to give us a refund. Will never stay at this hotel again.

Beware before staying at this hotel.

Was expecting a nice stay after researching a place to stay near to Newmarket...it fell well short :( 
No WiFi in a very plain room, stained furniture & lumpy mattress. No toiletries available, very light curtains & only privacy was when they were closed. Weeds & cigarette ends everywhere and highchairs kept outside?! The kitchen extractor fan literally stunk of dirty used oil from fryers.
Menu was a reduced one, no breakfast available. Evening meal was awful (olives to share, with under cooked part-bake bread! fajitas & nachos as mains), slow service (despite only 6 people in the restaurant), overpriced drinks & food.
Staff were friendly, but obviously finding employment elsewhere and new staff starting.
This place needs a bit of TLC, the menu & ingredients need sorting out and it could actually be a destination place, but not as it is :(

Disappointing

Accommodation clean but very dated. When I booked I notices that there was a music festival taking place. I was assured that this would not  be a problem, the music would stop about 11pm. However the music stopped at 11.30 pm and noise at 12pm. If you want nice accommodation and a good nights sleep don't stay here.

Overnight stay

We have used this inn previously for a drink and nibbles with no problem. As in tier 2 now we had to have a substantial meal - very poor with stale oil used on chips and Aberdeen Angus burger tasting like raw minced beef clumped together with no seasoning. Very limited menu in light of expectation to have a meal
Staff were not overly concerned that we left a large proportion of the meal.  Drinks and meal came to over £50. Very poor value for money. Not encouraging to have a return visit

Tier 2 drink and substantial meal!!

Went for a pay day treat. Promptly seated and served. Tasty, fresh homemade bread with walnuts to nibble on. 

The Chateaubriand for was cooked to absolute perfection (Not personally a fan of the accompanying chips and onion rings, it would been better with chargrilled vegetables and a serving of a potatos dish). This particular dish was a touch on the more expensive side for a pub (£58) BUT it was meant for two and was clearly a high quality, weighty slab of meat. 

All other food and drink prices were reasonable and typical for pub food. 

Partner had steak and ale pie, lots of flavour and well presented. 

Nice brownie for desserts.

Overall, very nice meal and evening. Nice pub, nice attentive staff. Food much better than anticipated. 

High Quality, Tasty Pub Food

We just had one of the best tasting meals we've had in a long time, including pre covid! . I believe the owner was trialling a new chef today. His food was delicious. Can thoroughly recommend the slow roasted ribs he cooked and the jacket potatoe was amazing. If, like me, you like jacket potatoes and garlic you'll adhore this.  Staff are so helpful and friendly. Lovely village pub, a credit to Freckenham.

Amazing meal

We stayed here was were visiting family near by and I remember the pub being nice. 

Unfortunately, it is now under new ownership and has drastically gone downhill! 

The whole place needs a through clean and updating. 

Do not stay stay here. We were originally in the 'dog friendly' room, which stank. The bar staff were very helpful and did move us without a fuss. However, the room we were moved to was unclean and the electrics were unsafe. 

The staff themselves were actually very pleasant, friendly and helpful.
