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.

8/10 Very good

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.

It's a lovely property, and the pub is very welcoming and cozy. It's very typically old English! The amenities were lovely, and the staff was excellent.

Great accommodation and service

I really liked the service and as a lone traveller the restaurant and bar were a great place to be. Although I was working it just felt great. The room was spacious and there was thought given to fresh milk, plenty of tea as well as being spacious.
