Best place we have stayed in for a very long time. ##### Tim Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 1 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect retreat Very friendly and professional. The Cartford Inn is in a lovely setting with views over the river and fields. Good food and excellent service. One very minor issue, the bed was soft on one side and hard on the other, but apart from that everything was perfect and I'll definitely be back. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simon 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Overpriced small room We booked what was described as a "Luxury Double Room" at £200/night. Our room was very small, just enough to walk round the bed. The mattress on the bed has seen better days. The en-suite shower room was OK. I wouldn't describe this as luxury in any way! Breakfast was good. The location is peaceful with nice views. The staff were friendly. Due to the poor value i wouldn't recommend staying here ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Angus 11 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Cartford experience!

They had reserved a table for us ‘just in case ‘ , this on a busy Saturday night was very much appreciated. The room was lovely looking over the river, the bar was well stocked and the dinner excellent, as was breakfast. We will stay here again and visit the art gallery and deli. ##### Alasdair Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were just wonderful from the greeting to departure.

This set the tone with all other members of staff we encountered during our stay. The rooms overlooked the river and surrounding countryside and are of a good size as are the bathroom and walk-in shower. The cleanliness of the room was of a very high standard. We'd gone there knowing the reputation it had for it's food and weren't disappointed. All four of us were more than pleased with our selections from the menu and hope to return in the not too distant future. ##### Ann Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick 28 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### work stop over been here many time, never fails to impress. ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Nice country inn by a river, good for a pint. The senior staff were very welcoming and charming and the room was clean with touches of luxury. The area is beautiful and the garden a delightful place to have a sundownder in high summer. Service in the restaurant was very very slow at dinner and rather inefficient at breakfast. The room was smartly appointed although the bed was very low and someone else in our party found her's uncomfortable and had to sleep on the floor. Two others struggled as their beds seemed to be uneven apparently. For a "Luxury" room the price was bizarrely high and that's why I wouldn't recommend the hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 30 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Couldn’t fault it!

We slept wonderfully as it was quiet after around 10 pm. The best bit was breakfast, cooked to order.

Easily the best food I've had whilst staying away from home. Really nice location and a very friendly staff. Heartily recommend. ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 1 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Location This is a really nice pub with rooms. The food in the restaurant was really good and the staff all very friendly especially the chap at breakfast. The room was well planned with the bed in the middle of the room to take advantage of the river views although this did cut down on the floor area. Very nice bathroom too. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in May 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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) > > [Purple Roomz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preston-Hotels-Purple-Roomz.h33676164.Hotel-Information) > > [Barton Manor Hotel & Spa, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preston-Hotels-Barton-Manor-Hotel-Spa.h13117.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) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.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) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Garner Hotel Preston Samlesbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preston-Hotels-Samlesbury-Hotel.h1103033.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.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) > > [The Villa Wrea Green](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preston-Hotels-The-Villa-Wrea-Green.h36326781.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.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) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Preston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preston-Hotels-Preston-Marriott-Hotel.h47718.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Ferrari S Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preston-Hotels-FERRARI-S-COUNTRY-HOUSE-HOTEL.h11899815.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.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)
