The Cricketers Clavering

Set in the heart of a beautiful country village, the cricketers is charming. The old world pub / bar/ restaurant transports you to quintessential British. Adding to this the staff are friendly, efficient and nothing is too much. We stayed the night in a room with a view of the surrounding countryside, the room itself a mix of cosy, classy beautique romance, perfect. We had Sunday lunch, a plate of classy British Sunday roast, and breakfast was cooked order fresh, quality's tasty! All in all a lovely little night away in a brautifil little gem!

Rooms were in their own self contained area, like little flats rather than inside the pub itself. Quiet area, no outside noise. Parking was plentiful and easy. Staff friendly and everything clean and comfortable. Large rooms with good quality tea coffee and accessories. Shower was easy to use and hot, bath too. Breakfast was very nice, continental buffet and hot choices from menu. High quality local ingredients. Huge bed and comfortable mattress.

I believe we were given an upgraded room which was very nicely decorated and a good size having a settee and chairs. The room was separate to the inn. The old inn was very welcoming, low beams and again tastefully decorated, we had a lovely breakfast there. We were just staying the one night prior to flight out of Stansted.

I love that the rooms are set back away from the public house, you have some privacy , the rooms are lush, beautifully decorated comfortable and I love the fact you get quirky teas coffee sachets and biscuits, they have really put some thought into making your stay extra special, I’ve stayed in this hotel many of times and will do so in the future, the pub is lovely clean staff are amazing they can’t do enough for you all round perfect place to relax and unwind!

This is a wonderful pub in a rural area, but still only 15 minutes from Saffron Walden and within easy reach of London and Cambridge. The rooms are a delight, the pub is gorgeous (very low ceilings - but that's part of the charm and authenticity!), and the staff are exceptional. So kind, caring and attentive. We enjoyed our stay immensely, had a lovely evening meal (remember to book) and a mind-blowingly good breakfast included in the room rate. All in all, a great treat and highly recommended!
