My partner and I ate Saturday lunch at this Inn on the 28th November while passing through from London, via Cambridge to Ipswich. I must confess however that I made a planned detour slightly from our schedule to enjoy lunch here. I always think that the experience of the restaurant starts from the moment you ring to book the table,... more

We stayed for only one night after going racing at nearby newmarket. The room was small but adequate, and the shower was excellent. The one down side was that the rooms have windows overlooking the side drive way which is gravel. It's really noisy as cars drive out at nigt, and even people returning to the hotel late made a... more

We booked the whole hotel for 5 couples going to Newmarket for an evening race and concert. We arrived in the afternoon, and liked the place so much we stayed for dinner knowing full well that would make us miss several races! The staff couldnt have been more helpful, the dinner was great 9as was next day's breakfast) and the... more

The food is brilliant, and with large portions. The staff are great. Friendly, helpful, knowledgable about wine/food. The room was spotlessly clean. My only complaint would be that the upstairs of the hotel, eg the corridor and the room were far too hot. The bathroom heater seems stuck on full heat. However when you open the window in the bedroom... more

I find some of the other comments on this site about this lovely hotel a bit over the top. We stayed at the Crown and Punchbowl for two nights and had a meal there on the first night (Friday). The staff were nothing short of amazing - with the young front of house manageress (24th and 25th October) seeming to... more

We have just spent the weekend at the Crown and Punchbowl a lovely old building well decorated in keeping with its age. The restuarant was ok found the menu to be somewhat unadventerous but the food acceptable, albeit portions small, the restuarant features in the Michelin Guide of pub food we had expected more, based on other establishments in the... more

We have just returned from a two night stay at the Crown and Punchbowl. We were very impressed by the room (especially the shower), the breakfast, the staff and the restaurant which we would thoroughly recommend. The menu is first class. The location is ideal as you are close to Cambridge, Newmarket, Ely and several National Trust properties (Anglesey Abbey... more

Just had to write to say what a wonderful time we had at this location. It was a surprise for my partner and we wasn't disappointed. We was met by very friendly staff, and shown to our room, which was very nice, the shower in the bathroom was fantastic! I had booked a meal in the restaurant for the first... more

Stayed here for 1 night over the xmas period. The only contact we had with the staff was at check-in and at breakfast. We were warned of the check in time slots, but still found them to be difficult to work around. The room was adequate and simply decorated, but the bed mattress was horrible. The window in the room... more
