Review of overnight stay

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

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.
