Guest Reviews

• Katrina (8/5): Good out of town pub - Staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately there was a wedding on the night we stayed and the music was loud. I asked the reception to turn it down at 11.30pm.
• Helen (8/5): -
• mary (9/5): good - Nice and clean, food including breakfast very good, plenty of choice. staff very friendly and helpful. Water in shower and sink absolutely scalding hot, just about managed the shower, this needs attention as someone could get burnt. Only other thing 1 small stool in the room, could have done with another chair/stool.

• lester (9/5): -
• Chris (10/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): Another great stay!! - I always like staying at the Woolpack. The rooms are lovely, the breakfast is delicious and the staff are excellent. Not much!! The only little thing is that there's never enough hot water for 2 showers in the morning. Not a huge deal if you're on your own but if there's 2 guests you have to be super quick and do your hair first so you're not caught with not being able to wash out your shampoo/ conditioner.
• JOHN (8/5): - The staff Every thing was as expected
• Amanda (8/5): Excellent - The layout of room. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast Room very cold on arrival as heaters bmnot on.
• Teresa (8/5): Highly recommend staying here, it’s clean, very friendly & helpful staff, excellent breakfast & great location - It’s always clean & the staff are wonderful , the bed in room 7 was very creaky There was a Christmas party on the Saturday night , they rang to let me know 2 days before saying it would finish around midnight but it was more like 1am before the noise abated
• STEVEN (8/5): Food of a very good standard. - All meals were of great standard , the room was clean, the staff were all great, easy parking, great choice of real ales. Front door to room was quite draughty, could do with draught excluder fitted.
• Neil (9/5): A pleasant stay. - The cleanliness and accessories of the room. The ambience of the inn and the food. The menu was good but limited. The room was chilly on arrival.
• david (6/5): Price high but it was OK for a night - Unfortunately there was a power cut so just a bowl of cearrel No chair in room just 1 stool Outside rough terrain to entrance of outside apartments
• Ian (9/5): Great place for an overnight stay, good food and beer selection - Friendly staff, easy access
• David (10/5): It’s welcoming place to stay - Welcomed with a massive smile, room was fantastic, exactly what I asked for, room 10 was great, definitely will stay again Nothing
• Graham (10/5): -

• Sergey (8/5): -
• Jane (5/5): Disappointing, as for the price I was expecting much better! - Clean room and bathroom. Bed comfortable. Nice countryside view from the window overlooking ponies. Good breakfast, although one issue (see below). Staff polite and friendly. Despite being clean, the room (no. 8) smelled damp and musty which, I later discovered had permeated the clothing in my suitcase! Bathroom was not warm on arrival because the switch for the towel rail wasn't on and it took all night to heat up. My son had room no. 7, and In the morning, both our showers became freezing cold not even halfway through. When I reported this to the very pleasant young woman on duty at breakfast, she told me that it had happened in another room a few days earlier! I feel that the showers in all the rooms should have been checked. The breakfast was very good overall, but the vegetarian sausages were awful; cheap and mushy! There are so many great options out there that would have elevated the breakfast to truly outstanding!
• John (10/5): simply, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back. - the pub was really nice, the staff were all really nice and the breakfast was excellent. everything was good, no problems.
• Allan (8/5): Great - All Nil
• Willsmore (9/5): Lovely stay - Really comfortable stay in a lovely setting with friendly staff and good food N/a
• John (10/5): -
• Matthew (9/5): Comfy accommodation offering great food in a pleasant location - The breakfast was superb. One of the best cooked breakfasts I've had in ages. evening meal also excellent Friendly staff. Room clean and comfortable
• SM2101 (10/5): Always fab! - Fabulous food and lovely staff. All of it. Breakfast options particular highlight
• Peter (8/5): -
• Debby (8/5): Spotless, very comfortable bed and shower room, generous breakfast and dinner. - The bedrooms were separate to the inn so very quiet, overlooking a paddock, and dark skies at night. The bed was huge and exceptionally comfortable, and the rooms were spotlessly clean and recently renovated. Plenty of tea bags and milk too, and a full sized mug which was perfect after a long drive. Dinner and breakfast was tasty and generous. Payment was clunky, although I had used my card pre-loaded with booking.com, I had to pay at the venue so concerned I would be charged twice.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Patrick (8/5): Comfy , clean and value for money - Location , price and cleanliness. The breakfast set up was a little disorganised. And one of staff was a little bit rude when I arrived 15 mins before my breakfast slot. I don’t think you should have to book a time for breakfast
• Andy (9/5): Great. - Attentive staff. Nice location. Good parking. Great food. Comfortable bed and good shower. Not that it bothered me too much, but grounds needing weeding. Apart from that great place.
• Stephen (9/5): -
• Anne (8/5): One night stay while visiting a friend at the mill. - Greatly improved since my last stay. The little chalet rooms have been renovated and are comfortable. A quiet location on the edge of Islip. We saw rabbits running across the field when we woke up.
• Angela (10/5): -
• Brian (9/5): -
• Mike (10/5): - Staff excellent, room spacious, breakfast very good.
• Simon (9/5): My new base when in area - Everything. Pub and people lovely and can smoke outside room so useful. Great location short walk to town and short drive to Kett hospital. Booked again for 2 weeks time! Now using here instead of Stanwick as that has gone a bit downhill Rooms a little dated
• Gill (9/5): If I'm in the area, I'd be hoping to stay again. - Great sized room. Really clean and comfy bed. Really friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Bit noisy from other guests.

• Klaus (10/5): - Nicht weit von der Schnellstraße und dennoch ruhig in einer schönen Umgebung. Die Zimmer haben einen direkten Zugang von draußen und der Parkplatz ist nahe, eine echte Erleichterung wenn man viel Gepäck hat und das tragen muss. Vor dem Zimmer ist eine Rasenfläche mit Picknickgarnituren, so dass man bei schönem Wetter draußen sitzen kann. Zum Frühstücksraum und zur Bar ist es auch nicht weit. Es gibt auch einen richtig schönen Biergarten und leckeres Essen.

• Chris (10/5): Top notch - The room was plenty big enough for our overnight stay, excellent hospitality tray and great towels for the shower. We had ridden from The Champagne Region of France that day so a very welcome stop! We took an evening meal which was very good, well cooked food and nicely presented. Staff were accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was very good, sausage and bacon of great quality, very tasty and set us up for the day. The only constructive thought I will suggest is for there to be a plug and or USB charger(s) by the bed.
