The bed was particularly uncomfortable and the duvet just about covered it. Furnishings were dark and a bit shabby. Bathroom is nicely fitted out but water pressure very temperamental. We did receive a warm welcome and the cooked breakfast was good but not much choice. We didn’t eat dinner there but bar was busy with diners. ##### chrissie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### william 3 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Could do with better mattresses The room was reasonably spacious, the bed / mattress was not the best and the TV in the room was extremely small.

Neither of us slept a single moment. The room has a bright green light shining all night and our room has the boiler fixed to the outside wall behind bedhead. Honestly sounded like a jumbo jet the whole time, initially i thought there has been an explosion, it was so loud. They are aware and still sell the room. ##### Johnathon Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 21 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Spent 3 nights here and really enjoyed it.

Hope to return soon. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine 15 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely relaxing two night stay with excellent food We were lucky enough to catch a cancellation to stay for a couple of nights at this lovely village pub with four letting rooms just a stumbling distance from the bar! So close to Duxford IWM and so peaceful and quaint. The welcome could not have been friendlier. The pub was busy with regulars and visitors alike and the food was so good my husband said it was probably the best steak meal he'd ever had - and he's been around a while! (Can't remember what it was called, but it was strips of fillet steak on a green salad). Have tried to recreate it, but looks like we'll just have to go back again! ##### Elaine Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline 14 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely old atmospheric pub. The welcome and food was excellent. Sausage at breakfast was particularly nice. Room was in an annex to the rear opposite the outside bar space but not an issue with noise etc. Very convenient for Duxford . ##### Caroline Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tad 3 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A long awaited return. We had not stayed there since before the pandemic, nevertheless we were recognised and made welcome. A nice clean room was provided and a spacious bathroom. A delicious freshly cooked breakfast was provided in the morning. Small wonder that we return there, not just to stay, but also to meet up with friends for dinner. ##### Tad Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kevin 27 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cottsge charm ##### kevin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### philip 25 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### My stay at John Barleycorn Inn Loved the place but bed could do with upgrading ##### philip Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean 22 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Myself and my partner stayed here ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Phil 21 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great food and staff team ##### Phil Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Julian 19 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Landlord’s diplomacy.
