fantastic stay near foxton locks

full breakfastexcellent foodgood beergood value
i really enjoyed having a full english breakfast , since i don't usually eat a large breakfast. the food quality impressed me a lot. my steak pie stood out, and the service was excellent. the pub's beer selection was very good , and the prices were a good value.
the kettle was on the floor , so it really needs a safer electrical source. i felt too old to use the kettle like that.

Acceptable stay, some issues with cleanliness

mouldy fridgestained sheet
The room cleanliness wasn't great. The fridge had water and mold inside. Dust covered the carpet and skirting boards. Stains marked the sheet, carpet, and bed base. This definitely impacted my stay.
