The Cricketers

Wonderful country pub with beautiful rooms. Breakfast was delicious and on-site parking very convenient. Recommended!

Great history with pub accompanied by great staff who made us very welcome. Food great and our overall stay was superb.

.

We were really looking forward to staying in the cricketers after reading all the good reviews and how close it was to our family who live local, the rooms were clean comfortable and tidy although the breakfast the next morning and service staff were terrible, my wife Son and I stayed here for one night. Got down to breakfast at 9 am and didn’t get even spoken to until nearly 9:30 am and had to wait to be even asked for a cup of tea. We then told to help ourselves to the Continental whilst waiting another 20 minutes before we could order our food so after an nearly an hour of waiting to get a cooked breakfast which we didn’t mind as we see the place was busy with only two Waitresses my wife’s poached egg on toast arrived with the avocado underripe and very hard in ediblle, the waitress then asked if everything was okay and would we like it to be replaced to which we said yes we then had to wait another 25 minutes for a replacement breakfast to come out even though at this point there was only one of a table full of people in the restaurant left everyone else had gone, the poached eggs with avocado round 2 then arrived and the eggs were overcooked again to to the point of them being boiled and hard! At this point we have been in the restaurant 1.5 hours and my wife still had not eaten and the restaurant had closed. They then offered us some pastries or coffee as an alternative which clearly is not good enough as it is not a cooked breakfast. Upon checkout we complained

Great pub with rooms close to Stansted. Excellent food and some great draught beers Really friendly staff

Great bed, plenty of pillows, great tub. Desperately need WiFi extenders, extremely noisy road. Best fish and chips I had in all of England and Wales.

Stayed in one of the rooms adjacent to the car park. On a positive, bed and pillows were very comfortable. Let downs were toilet seat broken, window latch broken so couldn’t have window open as it couldn’t be secured .on a hot night this was not acceptable. Water supplied was in a refillable bottle, my pet hate as you don’t know how old it is .

Spent 2 nights at The Cricketers, had a lovely stay, our room was in The Pavilion annex, spacious room, lovely bathroom, spotlessly clean, comfy bed. We ate both evenings at the pub, the food was wonderful and very tasty. Breakfast was great, with a very good choice. The lady doing the breakfast service was brilliant, so efficient and friendly. Staff were very good, polite and helpful. Very enjoyable stay, we will be back.

Quintessentially English. Lovely atmosphere. Nice compact rooms with comfortable beds. Lovely pub. We will be staying there again.

Good stay

Very good

Beautiful hotel, food was amazing and the rooms were outstanding. Lovely location with very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough when had queries. Highly recommended

A short trip for my wife's birthday, could not fault it in any way. Will be back..

Lovely clean and spacious room with private parking. Large bathroom with separate shower and bath. Lovely pub with excellent food, couldn’t fault anything.

The function is there, and the people are lovely, but just a few of the little things are missing. So the teas in the room didn't have english breakfast. Breakfast itself doesn't start until 7.30 I was told which is too late for me to get to work. And it would have been good to have a showercap bathroom. The food wasn't as well cooked as before. The ends of the asparagus weren't taken off for the starter so it was woody. The lamb however on the mains was cooked very well

The room was clean. The staff were friendly. However the noise meant that we were unable to sleep all night and left at 6.30 in the morning without having a paid for breakfast. 1. The boiler in the service room was on all night making a humming noise 2. Guest in the upstairs room arrived in at 1.30am. The floor boards, bed , bathroom noise was very load and they did not go to bed at all. Very disappointing

Great Room, Great Food, Friendly Staff - Lovely Stay

The welcome was warm and friendly. The food was excellent and having fresh milk for a cup of tea and coffee in the room was a lovely touch. I would definitely return.

Excellent accommodation in pristine condition could not fault it.

Fabulous idyllic village pub with rooms. Food was amazing - evening menu and brekkie - and the room was a very high standard The only downside was the green security light in the room which was bright and was a bit disturbing to my and my hubby’s sleep!
