Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

8.0 / 10.0

Such a beautiful and cozy place. All staff were polite and very helpful. Food was lovely. Room was beautiful and very clean but... there was a steep and awkward staircase to get to the rooms which wasn't mentioned in the pre-booking information. We saw several people struggle with this, as did I. It wasnt a dealbreaker but i feel its worth mentioning. Also the double bed was so hard neither of us were able to sleep much, and had achy joints the next morning. Overall, it is a lovely place to stay and eat and we were well looked after, but these two things are the reason for a 4 and not a 5.

The Marlborough is a pub with tasty food and about five rooms for overnight stays. The staff is outstanding and does everything possible to be helpful. It is on a central street of a very small town, so it can be a bit noisy during the day and early evening, but is quiet at night. The rooms have nice versions of all the basics, including a good bed and excellent shower. There are few extra amenities beyond the room and pub, although the breakfast was very good. For a longer stay, the room had only a few hooks on the wall, but the owner immediately provided a long rack with hangars on request. It is a short walk to several tea shops, a grocery store, and the Assembly Hall and church. Overall I felt very well looked after during my two week stay for a workshop.

Fabulous traditional country hotel with excellent accommodation and top notch food options. Very convenient if you're intending to walk to Flatford Mill where the Haywain was painted - it's a 45 minute walk alongside the river. Staff were very friendly and helpful and even managed to find me the right sized Alan key to unscrew my camera's battery compartment! Very Highly Recommended

Lovely room - it was well equipped and great location. Disappointed with the customer service - did not feel valued as guests - from a perfunctory Manager to bar staff that did not even look up from washing glasses whilst waiting at the bar. This is down to training and never went beyond the minimum customer service. Shame as the room was excellent but customer service let it down.

Charming building from the 15th century, with features preserved. The staff were accommodating and friendly. Food was excellent, with superb local ales! Plus, it’s dog friendly and ample parking for residents. Highly recommended!

Lovely building and room with great staff and really good food. The only slight downside was the noise in the room overnight, as the charming-looking windows are gappy.

Stayed at the Marlborough for one night. Room was comfortable and clean, nice bathroom with very powerful shower. We ate in the restaurant and found the food very good value with excellent service. Breakfast was also good (the "Big Breakfast" lived up to its name!). Will definitely be back.

We had a really lovely stay here. The room was lovely and a good size, comfortable bed and great amenities. The bar and restaurant had a great atmosphere and the food was really nice. We thought the breakfast was a continental only but its not, and they offered a great range including full English, so that was a nice surprise and made the overall price even more value for money. We would be happy to stay again.

Amazing stay! Room was spacious, clean and lovely. Large bath. Lovely view of the square and church! Staff are very friendly and accommodating! Food was absolutely delicious with large portions, we had breakfast included but also had dinner which is very reasonably priced! Nice to sit on the sofas right by the open fire if you're having a drink!Great location as set right on the high street and lovely walk to Flatford.We will definitely be back!The only thing to mention was the traffic noise, we were woken at 4am with people parked on the high street (maybe deliveries?) and an unusual amount of traffic going by at that time, however, this wouldn't deter us from returning!

2 night stay across a weekend. Staff:Greeted on check in by a member of staff who was informative, but straight-faced professional. I didnt have any other interaction with staff throughout my visit. Have seen their historic responses to some customer reviews (some more fair than others) and their attitude can be rude, rather than constructive (e.g. Thanks for your comments, noted would be more appropriate)Building:Characterful - low ceilings and very low doorways. Building is bowing with age. Quaint, no gas (storage heating). Charming from the outside, bar has a fireplace. A very local watering hole... Very obvious who is not local.Room:Munnings Room (double). Has so much potential - but let down by the tired furnishings and terrible state of cleanliness. The bed itself and linen was clean - as was towels, very fresh - but look closer and there is months, potentially years, worth of dust on the skirting boards. Spiders, too. This would be easily managed with once-monthly hot bleach water cleaning. Mould in the bathroom could be addressed by cleaning, installing better extractor fans and painting with mould-resistant paints. Curtains and upholstery cleaned/refreshed every six months. Very simple solutions but until addressed really lets the overall stay down. It is almost like cleaners just refresh the bed/tea supplies/ and that is it.Food:Despite B&B signs, no breakfast is offered - it is an additional cost of your own expense to local eateries.
