Been to this hotel many times. Buckden is a nice place. We were visiting friends. Hotel seemed to be struggling since the pandemic. We stayed 3 nights. Did not get cleaned on first night. Perhaps struggling for staff.

Visiting friends

Dont waste your money ! Awful place to stay!!!!!!
Looked inviting but it was  bloody freezing!
The Staff were great 🙏
Room-comfy bed, clean sheets but freezing cold. Had to get a heater because radiators were off.
Bathroom- Clean but no hot water.
Food- Breakfast offered way too late.so cannot comment
Dinner was awful sack the chef he cannot cook. We stayed 3 nights,l 2 were awful. 1 was ok Burger and chips was edible. 
Beer was awful but got better. 

The staff are the only credit to this place. Well done girls. 

It is not a hotel! Owners need to bring this back to what it advertises and its previous well respected life or shut down. Rip off ! 
Disgraceful !!! Very disappointing!!!!
 

Rip off,Awful, disgraceful, Shocking! !!!!

We stopped here for a refreshing drink, my pint of beer was rancid, my wife's wine was very unpleasant, my second pint of beer was as bad as the first, so we left. Will not be returning! Why a minim of 200 characters?

Do not stop for a quick libation 

An absolutely grim experience, booked in for two nights, left after one. Room tired, housekeeping shoddy, bar with sticky tables and floors, I can’t even bring myself to describe breakfast. How this can be described as a hotel is beyond me, I’m assuming none of the owners or staff have ever stayed in a hotel. Best just to avoid.

Avoid

We had a lovely Sunday lunch with my family, there was about 16 of us, a few vegetarians, GF and we all catered for with enough choice to satisfy all. The roasts were fabulous, beautiful fluffy roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings and the cauliflower cheese was just amazing. 

The Hotel and the facilities look a little tired but the staff and food certainly made up for this, definitely will be back.

Wonderful Sunday Lunch

Worst lunch ever not even worth a star!  Slice Kraft cheese you might put on burger between 2 slices bread, which was not fresh, with soggy cold cooked onion.    Spoke to Waitress , not even a cup of coffee offered.    Will never go back!

Lunch

Shocking bad!!!! Went to this pub/ restaurant for the first and last time today for Sunday lunch meat was like rubber and veg undercooked, gravy like water probably worst meal I’ve ever ate, staff were all teenagers no older than 13/14 and the manager was rude when we complained said no one else has complained when we heard at least 3 other tables complain, toliet were dirty, I think this place needs a serious deep clean and some new management!!

STEER CLEAR!!!

This is our local pub and it now regularly closes early - 7.50 we were turned away this week as they didn’t have enough customers.
That’s what we were! 
Such a shame that it’s a beautiful building but there is a distinct feeling that the new owners don’t want to be bothered. Needless to say, it’s empty tonight.

Would not recommend this pub at the moment.

We held a funeral wake for 40 people at the Lion and were very well looked after by Suma and the team. The spread of food (afternoon tea) was both appealing to look at and good quality and the service was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome.

Very well looked after at my father’s funeral wake.

the food was overcooked. the cauliflower cheese was raw the gravy was like water and the first thing we were told was that we had to leave at a certain time. Quite an unwelcoming start. they didn't know what 7 up was.
