My family stayed at the packhorse for 10 days upon arriving in the UK. The hospitality and accomidation are unmatched. ALL the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. It did not matter who we came across, if we had a question - they worked to find us an answer or solution. They were a great team. We have made it a point to return every month since our stay to get a taste of their delicious food. Would highly recommend for a nights stay or a great meal.

Lily served us today! She was beautifully well spoken, diligent with allergens (we had a celiac) presentable young lady. We had commented between us mid service that it was unusual theses days. The food was fantastic, we all had different roasts. Will definitely go back.

Had a fantastic stay, glad we chose the packhorse inn! The room exceeded my expectations and was spotlessly clean. The food was also exceptional + you can tell a lot of care goes into the menu. A big thank you to the team for a great stay!

Lovely location, lovely staff, clean and comfortable room. Our breakfast was very good, really tasty. We had an issue with our evening meal, this was dealt with promptly and the team could not do enough for us to ensure things were corrected. The team as a whole were brilliant, they were welcoming, friendly and provided excellent service on a busy evening. The location is beautiful, I would recommend a walk around the area.

Booked a two night stay at this cracking pub. Room was lovely and clean. Good powerful shower. Welcome pastry was a nice touch. Food was brilliant...highly recommend the East Anglian breakfast. Staff were helpful and attentive, the breakfast team were delightful. Electric car charging on site was useful

We visited on 26/10/25 the night before my daughter’s wedding (myself, my daughter, my sister & my niece). We had a lovely roast dinner in the restaurant & then stayed in 2 courtyard rooms. The rooms were very comfortable & clean, comfy beds & nice bathrooms. We then returned the morning after the wedding with 16 family members for breakfast, the staff kindly kept the kitchen open later for us & seated us all together. The large variety of breakfasts we had were all delicious. Thank you so much to The Packhorse Inn for helping make the wedding celebrations special.
