Summary: 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

Summary: 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 .

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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
