Fab pub with rooms - high std

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!

Excellent experience at The Cricketers & Clavering

Had an enjoyable 1-night stay. Accommodation was lovely, room was boutique quality and very comfortable. Our evening meal was tasty, service was excellent and the breakfast offerings were very good. Husband enjoyed his full-English especially! Clavering is a quiet, charming hamlet - and well worth a visit - both to the village and The Cricketers.

Great stay rebooking!

I was on my own and there was a nice buzz in the restaurant where I felt comfortable. The room was a brilliant size and I could do my exercise programme in it the next morning! The food was great too.

The rooms were lovely and beautifully furnished. There was a cold draft by the door (these are 'motel' type rooms) but it was a particularly cold night. Customer service was excellent and the food equally so

Ok

Room clean and spacious with nice decor. Only downside was that it was pretty noisy, mainly the constant slamming of the main door but also able to hear people in the other rooms. Breakfast was good and staff pleasant.

Amazing stay at The Cricketers

Extremely friendly staff. Very welcoming and dog friendly. The building was a beautifully preserved 15 century pub. Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Meals were amazing, we had dinner and breakfast there. I would highly recommend.
