Gorgeous rural location overlooking lush greenery, super comfy room with underfloor heating, and a fantastic shower. Loved the evening meal, it was top-notch, with an array of choices that made us feel fancy!

Felt immediately at home, no complaint.

We had a fantastic stay with the kids, enjoying the lovely ambiance and modern facilities. The food was spot on, especially the steak! The nearby nature trails provided a perfect adventure for the little ones, letting us explore the area's beauty.

In my wife’s opinion, having better soundproofing would have helped us all sleep better at night.

Had a lovely stay with my family. our dog enjoyed being able to join us for meals outside, and the food was absolutely fantastic every night! The garden area was perfect for relaxing after dinner, and we loved the cozy little spots to unwind. The only minor hiccup was the lack of a shower, but the bathtub was a nice alternative. Definitely planning to return! 🐶

Had a fantastic getaway with friends. We strolled through a beautiful Forest Nature Reserve with two trails that showcased stunning wetlands and riverside views. Don't miss the lovely churches on the Icknield Way! The staff was helpful, the room was solid, and breakfast was on point. Perfect spot for a group!

The only downside was the bread and butter pudding, which was a bit of a letdown. It seemed like it was microwaved rather than freshly made compared to the other delicious options.

A lovely atmosphere with charming decor and comfortable rooms, though some service issues marred the experience—particularly the slow food delivery and small portions. The scallops were delightful, and the location is stunning, making it a lovely spot to unwind.

My stay was pleasant overall, featuring a cozy double room with comfortable beds for a great night's sleep. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the experience despite some noise from the bar area. the limited wine selection was a letdown, and I encountered issues regarding room temperature control, which could be improved.

We had a fantastic stay with utterly amazing food, especially the stunning Còte de Bouef, and complimentary olives and bread were a delightful touch!

The Packhorse offered a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with delicious food that exceeded my expectations. The staff were attentive and efficient in assisting with my needs, particularly during meal times. The location is pleasantly quiet, making it ideal for business travellers looking for a relaxing stay after a day of work.

Limited drink selection and no shower in the room.

Exceptional Food and Inviting Atmosphere

I had a delightful stay in a spacious room with a huge en-suite bathroom that made for a luxurious experience. The food was outstanding, with an emphasis on local ingredients, and the staff were genuinely attentive and helpful throughout my visit. I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed bar atmosphere and the inviting outdoor dining area. the lack of nearby shops may be a downside for some travelers.

Couples looking for a memorable stay

The bed in our room was like a cloud, truly could not have felt better after a long day. the steak we had for dinner was cooked perfectly, so juicy and flavorful that it felt like we were dining at a top-notch restaurant.

I had a fantastic three-night stay here. The deluxe double room was warm and equipped with underfloor heating in the bathroom. The location offered beautiful views and the food exceeded all expectations. Staff were attentive and made us feel valued. Highly recommend this charming place! 😊

Charming place! Staff went above and beyond, but Wi-Fi was a bit spotty.
