The stay at the Pack Horse spoiled what was a lovely extended weekend with my partner. We spent three uncomfortable nights here and can safely say we will not waste our money here again. We travelled up from Coventry, a journey of 5 hours plus only to find the establishment locked up with no sign of anyone around. My partner... more

My partner and I have just come back from a long weekend with family at the Pack Horse Inn. We booked three rooms (two doubles and one twin) back in March and we were, unfortunately very dissappointed. Breakfast was very good and generous, the rooms clean, but our room (3) was too small, and the double bed wasn't a small... more

We stayed at the Pack Horse last year and had a lovely time so was looking forward to our return. We noted from the website that the inn had changed hands but thought nothing of it. How wrong we were! We were greeted in the car park on our arrival by the chef who showed us to our room and... more

I spent a very enjoyable couple of days in the Pack Horse in Ellingham. After a tiring time at work, the welcome I was given was the best I have experienced for many years.

My partner and I stayed at the Pack Horse in Ellingham this weekend (27/28th March 09). Following the comments that were made by MelPUK I was slightly concerned however my concerns were promptly laid to rest. We were greeted by the charasmatic landlord who showed us to our room. The room was a decent sized double with a small wardrobe... more

Unfortunately our timing was not the best as our first night ( we were staying for two) coincided with the first day of the new management and there was obviously going to be teething troubles. We were shown to room 2 which was pleasant enough but had no wardrobe or drawer space and the shower room had very limited storage... more

What can say that hasn't already been said (in the good reviews!). I recently stayed for five nights at the Pack Horse and don't have any complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much bother. The rooms were very comfortable and breakfast was excellent. The food on the menu was delicious. It is ideally situated... more
