Packhorse Inn Review

Beautiful location and lovely, well kept building. It was great for a nice refreshing drink after an evening's walk in the countryside.

Stylish decor, lovely food however on the pricey/pretentious side, but that's each to their own! Service was ok...nothing annoys me more than when the weitress asks what you would like to drink before you get your coat off and sit down!

Very friendly staff, lovely well maintained country restaurant/pub with excellent high quality decor.

Very pretty and tasteful restaurant/hotel. Boutique does not do it justice.

Excellent food, good service and lovely dinning area.

We tend to go to the packhorse for special occasions and this time it was valentine's evening. We had a great 5 course menu with an accompanying flight of wine, great service and ambience thank you to the team

What a lovely place. Great staff, super food and service in a beautifully refurbished pub.

Stayed for one night, received a very warm welcome on arrival and was shown to our room quickly. The room was very nice and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice! Would definitely recommend!

Lovely food, comfortable 'i could stay here all day' atmosphere. Dogs welcome too, which is a positive for us and our little ones.

It's not your typical pub as it actually serves quality food. Think of it as a properly nice restaurant with stunning interiors, incredibly nice staff with food you will not want to share with your friends - dressed up as a pub.

Fantastic food, great service and an incredible setting. Will definitely come again!

A very romantic and cozy feel. The menu has well chosen options, and everything we had was very well prepared. Worth the trip if you're in east Cambridgeshire.

Fabulous food and wonderful service. Highly recommended, very nice and well worth the detour.

Great food brilliant service. Found by accident on day out. Will definitely go back very soon .

I was so, so impressed. I don't think I've had better service anywhere. The staff went out of their way to help us (there were quite a few of us) and made us feel very welcome. The rooms and beds were comfortable, the breakfast excellent, and so was the coffee. The village of Moulton is very beautiful too.

Always friendly service and tasty, well presented food. Love going here as a treat. Great place for meeting up with friends... and you can even take the dog too!

We were there for a family 50th wedding celebration, the staff were really helpful and the food was all excellent in quality.

The village of Moulton is pretty and quiet and worth a wonder around too while you are there, very close to Newmarket.

Will be back for dinner or Sunday lunch soon.

Had a lovely meal here with friends, setting and ambiance is nice and staff were very attentive and friendly, but it's not cheap!

Great staff

Great food

Great room

Outstanding food, location and venue. My favourite pub.

Fantastic Christmas dinner party for 26 and a lovely overnight stay thanks to Ian and his team!!!

Just stopped in for a coffee. The service and standards and cleanliness was of the highest standard.

My double espresso was one of the best I have ever had. Very, very impressed.

We have enjoyed our stay in this quiet location. The staff are all exceptionally polite and helpful. The room tastefully decorated and well equipped. The restaurant is comfortable and food excellent, including breakfast of a high standard. Could not fault our stay here at The Packhorse Inn.

We had the best meal in a great atmosphere, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Lovely rooms, tasty food. Service very slow as staff are overworked

Love this place... perfect suncatcher garden, good staff and great food!

Always excellent. Visit with my wife for a evening meal several times per year and always come away impressed. High quality food and wine.

Great atmosphere, stunning food and great servuxe. Beautiful rooms and decor too!

Lovely setting, lovely food and beer choices, would highly recommend as a treat!

This is a beautiful inn within cycling distance of Cambridge with wonderful food and very nice rooms. Great for a getaway.

Absolutely wonderful staff and food! Reasonably priced for the quality of the overall experience

Wonderful home baked bread, thoughtful and. Beautifully created dishes,great service.

Excellent service and food. The sitting space here is huge so we managed to book a table in the morning

Judging by the starter, I'm sure there is delicious food to be had, but the main course of roast beef for Sunday lunch was very expensive and very disappointing with difficult to chew meat and a huge polystyrene Yorkshire pud. Sorry guys. Great Sunday roasts to be had in the area at a fraction of the price.

Really nice, only thing, we pre ordered with names, still one receipt...

Lovely food and great decor. Highly recommended also as a place to stay when in Newmarket.

Nice food, but not much on offer for veggies / vegans, and quite pricy.

After a brisk walk had a lovely cup of coffee in the amazing teepee

Pricy but very hospitable gastropub. Very welcoming staff. Recent extraordinary heated outdoor tepee must be seen to be believed--- hairy chairs and all.

Only came in for drinks. V professional unpretentious service. Will return for food...

Outstanding food and impeccable service. Very reasonably priced. What a wonderful sunday afternoon, look no further if you are seeking great food and wine and a cosy,welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

A lovely place to visit. The food is wonderful and the bar has a big open fire.

A great Sunday lunch in this lovely country pub (with rooms). The roast beef is is excellent and served medium...justin how I like it. The desert choices are amazing, and the tate tatin was sublime.

Service was great. Just didn't really enjoy the seating arrangement.

Lovely food, great service. A little out of the way but that's a good thing! Will be back.

Food excellent, staff very friendly, nice decor, would certainly go again.

It's very local to me they so great food and it's a lovely setting. Sunday roast could be better in that I don't feel its as good as the other food they do.
But Sunday roasts are very objective. And actually doing a Sunday roast is actually always best done at home.. So that's OK.

Lovely staff and amazing food! Had a Roast Dinner and will certainly be going back to try some other dishes

Food was lovely
Very friendly service

Lovely food and restaurant, served quickly and happy staff

Quite expensive, service has been slow when busy and drinks are very expensive

Really nice atmosphere and amazing service and vegan options. The baby gem salad was great!

Friendly staff. Good beer. Lovely situation. Looks like a good place to stay and/or eat..

I was really looking forward to staying at this venue. Unfortunately the room we booked, the bath had broken a few days before (this was the main feature on why we booked this place). We had no call/message to explain the situation, as we could of cancelled and rebooked for another date especially as we booked with a voucher and paid up. We had driven 2 hours without a working bath. Wished the communication was better, especially as its classified as a "5" star hotel. It is a shame.

Wonderful service, delicious food. Homemade brioche, mini brown loaf, mussels, whitebait, pig's cheeks croquettes, all a delight.

Very nice food great service friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Good service, friendly staff, a smart pub with great food.

Amazing place to go for a meal or drink in the garden. Had a lovely gin and tonic and sharing platter whilst enjoying the sunshine in the garden.

Love this place. Either lunch or dinner. Fantastic service and great selection of booze.

There was no water to have a shower for one of the days, none whatsoever in any of the rooms. He threatened to call the police if I didn't pay. Avoid staying here- a very disconcerting experience.

Lovely food , fairly promt service, no nice sweeties with the coffee at end of meal,which we've had before , apart from that superb

We hired a room for an NCT get together. The staff were great. The wine and beer selection is very good and the menu looked pretty impressive too. Its a nice building, well worth a visit.

Poor for Vegetarians and Vegans...

We had two veggies, two vegans and two meat-eaters in our group - we'd called ahead (several days before) to check the a Vegan/Veggie roast could be provided. We were totally reassured and came in a large family group specially.... big mistake.

It turns out they what happens at this pub is that they massively over-promise - unusually they do mention vegan options on the menu - but what happens is they take the veggie option and remove the cheese... same cost, just, what was already an rather unimaginative cheese-heavy meal, now without cheese. Very poor.

The veggie Sunday roast was a meat-Sunday roast minus the meat - again, that would have been ok for a more typically basic pub, but, for a "gastro" pub who claims to understand a more modern diet, it fell flat on its face. There are some lovely vegan-friendly sunday roasts offered by pubs who know their stuff - trust me - I've had a few! Nut roast, vegan yorkshire, lovely gravy without meat juice, delicious steamed and roasted veggies... yum!

The other veggie option was meant to have Camembert... but actually had mozzarella! Quite different, I think you'll agree, but the "chefs" must have had a moment of confusion.

Even the pudding - chocolate mouse - marked as "veggie" we were then told had gelatin in it. That's a pretty stupid mistake to make these days, I'm afraid.

I would say that one of the meat-eaters really liked their traditional Sunday roast... so if only this place didn't try to pretend it was capable of more, then this review wouldn't be so bad, but as it is, this was an almost offensively bad meal concocted by people who clearly didn't have a clue, and for some reason that I can't quite fathom, wanted to pretend they did.

Steer clear.

We stopped here after a long cycle ride and were met with a warm welcome. Nice food in a even nicer setting.

Great staff, a clean and tidy room with an amazing bathroom and super soft bed, and the best black pudding I've ever had!

At night the surrounding area is almost silent, and allowed my wife (a famously light sleeper) to get a good night's rest.

The Staff were charming, polite, and very helpful.

Delicious breakfast. Small menu but everything tasty and fresh. Service was excellent. Have been a couple of times and it's always of a consistently high standard

Upmarket pub. Suprised that one requires reservations. Good food and atmosphere.

Having just spent 2 nights at the Packhorse Inn, for an anniversary treat from my husband, I would highly recommend this loverly hotel.. Beautiful setting, just outside of Newmarket, the comfort, the food, everything was outstanding. Because I have a disability, the management, and the start in general, went the extra mile to ensure my safety and comfort.
Thanking you all for a wonderful time, looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
Kindest regards...Janice Dean
