Not well signed nothing to say you had arrived. Room was freezing cold and tv didn’t work. Shower door was off hinges and just needed to be a little bit cleaner.

Love the style of the room.

Room needs new windows , they wouldn’t shut properly so u could hear the traffic from the A1 all night long . Even with ear defenders inserted into ears u could still hear the traffic

The beds were really really comfy , the room had 2 double beds in

Side lights needed to be brighter. Needs a bit of TLC

Very old and lots of character

For the forgetful traveller, some shower gel sachets would be excellent.

A fine old country house, very welcoming hosts, lovely generous breakfast. Very spacious and comfortable room. Shower worked, if a little underpowered! (Some sachets of shower gel or similar would be appreciated) . Amazing location right on the A1. Folks with good hearing (therefore not me) might find traffic noise an issue but I slept soundly. Outstanding value.

Hard to find the entrance but maybe I'm just an idiot

The location, it was a bit old but clean and everything worked. Price was super good. Didn't have any problems whatsoever. Tasty breakfast

Great find! This is a great and comfortable bed and breakfast, not a 5 star hotel, run in their own home. Good size room, king size bed, chest of drawers, chair, dressing table, wardrobe, bedside drawers, mini fridge, good size tv and large en-suite bathroom. Decent size tv has freeview and various streaming apps, mini fridge has water, Diet Pepsi, larger and wine. Towels and bedding are not new but clean and functional. Yes there is noise from the A1 because you are right next to it. There is double glazing but some noise does get through in the background and does almost stop through the night. Breakfast was not too big or small, 3 x thick/normal bacon, nice sausage, egg, mushrooms, beans, tomato, toast and coffee. There is a buffet with cereal, fresh fruit, fruit juice, fruit salad with fresh strawberries and jams. The people who run the place are very friendly and welcoming. They are knowledgeable about the history of this 17c coaching house. Even Queen Victoria stopped here on her travels to and from Scotland, in room No.1 Lots of off road parking towards the back of the property. Plenty of local hostelries in the surrounding area to eat at and places to visit. Yes we would stay here again.

Being on the A1, the traffic can be heard. Certainly from a front room like mine. But, it's not overly loud and becomes background noise very quickly. I did not find it an issue at all (and it wouldn't put me off returning), but some people may so thought I ought to mention it.

Large spacious double room and bathroom in a lovely old house. I was working at Burghley for the weekend and left before breakfast so can't comment on that, but the hosts were delightful. It's not a modern hotel so don't expect all the mod cons, but has everything anyone should need. The 'mini bar' is actually full size bottles of wine, beer and soft drinks! My dog was also allowed. I liked it for my 4 night stay and would certainly stay there again.

Proximity to the A1 (not evident from advertisement) meant considerable overnight noise. Rooms didn't suggest total cleanliness, and one or two domestic matters needed improvement. Quality of TV poor.

Very pleasant hosts who tried hard to make us welcome. Breakfast was speedy, substantial and pleasantly presented.

A little bit more information for guests would be of great help I.e some information about the accommodation and it’s facilities other than just what other nearby facilities.

As I was leaving early for work the next day I asked if I could have a light breakfast to take with me The proprietor said he would ask his partner if it could be arranged. I didn’t receive anything the next day which was disappointing. A bit of communication would have been able to solve this as they could have told me if it was possible or not.

Made booking as was reduced to £90 from £100 for the two nights however still got charged for the £100

Stayed in July 2023

Stayed for 1 night as in area. Breakfast is amazing; hosts are so friendly and obliging. It is close to a1 road so you can hear traffic, but, coke 11pm the traffic isn’t too heavy at all; so hardly hear it. Great parking, big beautiful old coaching house, yes it perhaps needs updating but for £60 it’s ideal. I’ve read bad reviews but my experience was good. Don’t let other reviews put you off. I will use again when back in area.

The A1 Road noise that was constant all night and because I live in a quiet village prevented me sleeping. Other rooms at the rear might be quieter

Big room comfy super king bed

Traffic noise, but it is a busy road. The toilet wasn't clean and had toilet paper from the previous guest.

The location was ideal for where I had to travel to.

Room was a bit cold. There was a freestanding heater, but we didn't feel comfortable leaving it on when unattended.

Host was very friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was large and comfortable.
