Food marketed as fine however just average pub grub, house wine pretty awful too!

The landlord and staff were superb. They have very good food in their restaurant with plenty of variety. I used te hotel as a base for exploring the neighbouring area and the friendly staff helped greatly with suggestions. It took me 25 mins to get into Cambridge city centre and it is very close to Newmarket for the racing. I would thoroughly recommend staying here instead of a standard hotel chain. It is well worth the slightly longer commute time for the experience. My room was spotless and comfortable and everything worked , and I was able to come and go as I pleased. Excellent. ##### C Stone ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew, Notts 10 Feb 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Golden Boar Great hotel, good room and the food is fantastic.

The Pub advertises that it was built in 1540, the first in Suffolk County. OK, it is fair to say it is not a new property! The restaurant is upscale (posh) and is excellent. I had breakfast and dinner there and enjoyed it thoroughly. But I was disappointed in the cleanliness of my room, and the lumpy bed. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Jun 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lackford Lakes Barns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-Lackford-Lakes-Barns.h34125723.Hotel-Information) > > [Guinness Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-Guinness-Arms.h40183239.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bell Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-The-Bell-Hotel.h2057789.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Rural retreat in the grounds of West Stow Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-Rural-Retreat-In-The-Grounds-Of-West-Stow-Hall.h44433929.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Priory Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-Best-Western-Priory-Hotel.h24655.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bull Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-The-Bull-Inn.h24433504.Hotel-Information) > > [All Saints Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-All-Saints-Hotel.h1410480.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [The Riverside House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-The-Riverside-House-Hotel.h901004.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information)
