The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Woburn, within easy walking distance of all pubs and restaurants. The rooms faced the road and needed updating and a good clean, but were generally what I expected for the price paid. The service was satisfactory, with pleasant staff, even though they seemed a bit stressed and grumpy at times. The hotel's location is great for exploring the area, being close to the safari park and Abbey, but the transport links are poor. The dining experience, although enjoyable, was not up to my expectations. The facilities were average, with room for improvement.

The hotel is situated in a picturesque village, ideal for those visiting Woburn Abbey. The rooms are spacious and offer a mix of modern amenities with a touch of old charm. However, there were issues with being charged twice and service lacking basic manners. The dining experience excelled with exceptional quality and value. The location is beautiful, with parking and Wi-Fi included.

The hotel is in a nice location in the heart of a picturesque village with great restaurant choices nearby. The rooms were clean and a decent value for money, although there were some minor issues like a dirty shower-head and a non-working bathroom heater. The service was a bit unpleasant at times, with some confusion over payments. The dining experience was pleasant, with freshly cooked meals worth trying. The setting provides a welcome rest after a long drive, and it's central to local attractions. However, the Wi-Fi connection could be improved.

My stay at the Inn was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms were average, clean, and comfortable with a fabulously deep and relaxing bath tub, but they seriously need decorating as the decor felt shabby and a bit dirty. The pub food was very good, which was a highlight. However, the rooms felt tired with non-functioning TVs mounted at an awkward height.

I found the hotel to be a good budget option but not ideal for the price paid. The room I stayed in was on the ground floor at the back, across the road. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff even wiping dust off the strawberry bottle before adding it to my drink. The location was excellent, being within a couple of minutes' drive to the safari park and Abbey. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with good food overall but some dishes not meeting expectations. The facilities were satisfactory but lacked some attention to detail.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room I stayed in was a bit small for a solo traveler and could use some maintenance, the staff was quick to address any issues and even provided an alternative shower facility. The location was pleasant, especially for visiting Woburn Safari Park, but lacked some attention to detail. The dining options had both positives and negatives, with a good morning selection but some letdowns like the eggs royal. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
