Amazing food, very helpful staff, and great rooms. I stay here a lot, and again, the Cricketeers didnt disappoint. When the weather is nice, the front garden is great to sit out and have a drink. Parking seems to be very safe, and I've had no issues. My only gripe (which isn't that major) is the lack of English breakfast tea bags.😂

Staff are friendly and the drink and food were really nice. Rooms are very well done but I stayed in one room above the pub and the shower had very little pressure. The rooms over the other side of the car park are more modern and really nice
