Excellent, room and ensuite were spotlessly clean, towels, soap, tea making necessities including fresh milk provided. No hidden or extra charges. Continental breakfast served in the bar-restaurant was nicely presented, generous quantities of fresh brewed tea or filter coffee were available. Good value for money, would definitely go back there again. Recommended.

Excellent accommodation, good value

We booked for Sunday lunch with friends and found the ambience in this old pub excellent  apart from any references to its wartime history  in relation to Duxford Aerodrome.
The Sunday lunch, however, left a lot to be desired.The roast meats  were fine, Yorkshire puddings slughtly burned. The veg did not seem freshly cooked and roast potatoes hard to even cut. We had to request extra horse radish as the serving was so small.
Service was pleasant but rather slow nice
 young people but inexperienced.
The overall experience was disappointing.

Sunday lunch not up the sttandard

Poor from start to finish.  Staff were reluctant to take my booking, but the pub was almost empty when we arrived.   The lager was nice and cold.  The focaccia to go with the oil, olives etc was old and dry, although it had been warmed.  My dad had sausages & mash which he said was fine, however the fushfingers in my sandwich were so undercooked, they were stone cold in the middle.  We weren’t charged for this (it was inedible, so just as well), but no offers of a replacement something, I was just left with a plate of food I couldn’t eat.  Just to finish it off, as we were leaving, the “waiter” dropped a piece of bread from a serving platter, on his way to the table, and just picked it up and put it back on the plate!   We won’t be back anytime soon!

A lot of work needed to bring it up to scratch!

We went one evening with family and I have to say the food was disappointing.
The gammon steak is nice, but the  sausage d mash should come with veg but it was the fish and chips that was the most disappointment.
We came here just before Christmas. Fantastic Fish And Chips, where the fish  batter was fresh and tasty. This time it was frozen fish like you to go to the supermarket. I’m afraid I probably won’t be here again. What is £14 frozen battered fish supermarket. They also need print off the kids menu and what meals they do at half portions, make it a lot easier for parents.
 On a positive note, the staff are lovely and very polite. 

Disappointment

The room was very cozy, comfortable and clean and I slept very well.
The staff were friendly, welcoming  and helpful. So the overall experience was excellent and was very good value. I would stay again!

Comfortable, good value rooms in a cozy, characterful pub

Quick pit stop on our way home from the Rugby, fantastic real ales on tap, roaring fire, friendly staff and good local atmosphere. All round a great little village pub definitely worth the detour………..

Great Pub, Fantastic Ales

We stayed on a Sunday evening - Quiz night at the pub so no evening meals available (we were aware of that before booking so not an issue!). Good selection of beers on offer in the pub. Our rooms were clean and tidy and welcoming. We opted to include breakfast and were presented with a lovely spread of cold meats, cheese, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, toast & warm pastries. Would stay again if we were visiting this area again

Over night visit

Popped in for a couple of beers, lovely village pub, would definitely return. 

Request for 200 characters, really not sure what else I can add.  Fifty two more to go, nearly there. This is it ok. Done

Lovely village atmosphere

Sadly it was freezing cold and the toilets smelt disgusting. Landlords were not welcoming at all. The bar staff were friendly and kind, incredibly understanding and aware of the situation that was out of there control.

Drinks and snacks

I booked a stay at the John barleycorn for two nights in March of this year on arrival I was informed that our room was unavailable due to a plumbing issue that the rooms electrics had been affected but then to be told that I had already been charged for my stay sorry to say that I am still fighting to get my money back after numerous emails these people don't care about doing the right thing they just steal your money Don't trust these people Don't trust third party booking agents be warned I am going to keep fighting
