We had a truly wonderful stay at The Packhorse Inn. We stayed in Warren Room which was really lovely a very comfortable bed and a fantastic bathroom. Areas of the room and the hallway leading to it are a little tired looking stained carpet and areas of paintwork could be refreshed. The food was absolutely amazing we had roast beef and sticky date pudding for our meal. Lovely service the waiter was very helpful and attentive. Breakfast was also very good the staff looking after us were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return!

Stayed with you Friday and Saturday. Lovely room. Very comfortable bed. The room was spotless. Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The only negatives were the shower was blocked and the buffet breakfast choices were not as good on the Sunday.

Very nice Inn. Room was spacious, clean and well maintained. There was no shower in my room which I prefer, and instead a bath was in the actjual bedroom with a shower attachment. The food was very good. I had the cured trout and fish and chips, which although expensive, was of top quality. The cooked breakfast was one of the best I've had, but as i don't eat much bread or pastries, they could have done with some yoghurt and a better selection of fresh fruit. Overall thoiugh, I would recommend this place.

Dissatisfied

I stayed one night, and also had Sunday lunch (which wasn’t great). The room was nice, and the bed was comfy. Quiet area. Disappointed to see the tables weren’t cleaned from the previous day at breakfast (which also wasn’t great). I wouldn’t choose to return here.

Very pleasant inn for business or couples trip!

The Packhorse Inn was a very pleasant inn to stay at for my business trip! The room itself was well air conditioned and the amenities were very comfortable. Any extras needed such as ironing board, etc were readily available from the staff. Had breakfast and supper multiple evenings of my trip and always enjoyed them throughly. Generous portions and reasonable pricing. The inn itself is located next to a quiet and quaint village which is a short few minute drive into Newmarket which is loaded with eateries and walking areas. All very nice due to the presence of the racehorse facilities surrounding the area. Would highly recommend the packhorse for business or a couples getaway.

Overall good with some room for improvement

The room was decorated nicely and bed was comfortable but no air con, which was an issue in May but would be uncomfortable at the height of summer. Location is lovely and picturesque. Dinner was nice but felt overpriced for what it was.

Comfortable, nice rooms and good food

The room and food was good. The great wine list with many options by the glass, nice outdoor areas. Unfortunately, I was woken early by the cleaners outside my room running water and banging buckets. Breakfast was okay, only one person was serving and quite a lot of other staff standing around.

Great hotel but let down by noise in room

Was staying for business, hotel and service were excellent and food a high standard. My only issue was the bedroom (The Folly) was directly above the kitchen so very noisy until just after 11pm and then again from 7am. Wouldn't return as I value a good night's sleep which is a shame as otherwise ideal for my needs.

Loved the restaurant and the amazing staff and the location is wonderful. Only downside was the room that we were allocated while comfortable had an unimpressive aspect and was missing some finer details e.g. could have done with an extra chair and a small coffee table (the room was big enough) and it lacked hanging space. Overall though a lovely stay..

Weekend visiting Newmarket.

We had a lovely one night stay in the Warren room, it was very comfortable with a beautiful bathroom, two small notes, there is no accessible plug socket near the right hand side of the bed & the TV was not working while we were there but that wasn’t really a problem for us as we were out most of the time. The food was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive.
