Room was spacious and nicely decorated, had a great bath and toiletries. The pub was lovely and we found the evening meal delicious. The breakfast was very good also. Location was great 👍 not too far out of Newmarket itself . Easy parking, would definitely recommend.
From the start to the end our stay was amazing. The staff met all of our needs and Ben was great looking after us at dinner. Dinner was delicious and the breakfast catered for myself and 10 year old son with the waitress being very accommodating and professional.
Absolutely magnificent stay! Luxurious bedrooms with all the needed amenities. The staff were lovely and so helpful. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in the area. Thank you for the very special stay!
A lovely stay and great service.

Stayed with you Friday and Saturday. Lovely room. Very comfortable bed. The room was spotless. Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
The only negatives were the shower was blocked and the buffet breakfast choices were not as good on the Sunday.

We had a truly wonderful stay at The Packhorse Inn. We stayed in Warren Room which was really lovely a very comfortable bed and a fantastic bathroom.
Areas of the room and the hallway leading to it are a little tired looking stained carpet and areas of paintwork could be refreshed.
The food was absolutely amazing we had roast beef and sticky date pudding for our meal. Lovely service the waiter was very helpful and attentive.
Breakfast was also very good the staff looking after us were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
We will definitely return!
A little gem! Great, peaceful location, fabulous room, friendly staff and the best breakfast we’ve had in a very long time. Definitely booking again to sample the restaurant menu.
My room was absolutely lovely - fan on and window open ready for me on what was a very hot day. Very clean, comfortable and all the staff were welcoming and friendly. Dinner excellent as was the breakfast. EV charger most welcome too.
The room and food was good. The great wine list with many options by the glass, nice outdoor areas.
Unfortunately, I was woken early by the cleaners outside my room running water and banging buckets.
Breakfast was okay, only one person was serving and quite a lot of other staff standing around.
My wife and I stayed overnight to meet up with family and have a meal together. The room was lovely, clean, and welcoming.
Bathroom was modern and clean with good shower. The staff were very friendly and the service was great! We had a meal in the restaurant which was wonderful, the breakfast was equally as good!
All in all a great stay and I can see us revisiting.
Excellent service from check in to breakfast
Great quality food and property
My only issue is the room I had in the Barn top room is the windows are boarded on the outside restricted all light giving a dark closed feeling
Otherwise excellent
Loved the restaurant and the amazing staff and the location is wonderful. Only downside was the room that we were allocated while comfortable had an unimpressive aspect and was missing some finer details e.g. could have done with an extra chair and a small coffee table (the room was big enough) and it lacked hanging space. Overall though a lovely stay..
We had a lovely one night stay in the Warren room, it was very comfortable with a beautiful bathroom, two small notes, there is no accessible plug socket near the right hand side of the bed & the TV was not working while we were there but that wasn’t really a problem for us as we were out most of the time.
The food was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive.
The room was decorated nicely and bed was comfortable but no air con, which was an issue in May but would be uncomfortable at the height of summer.
Location is lovely and picturesque.
Dinner was nice but felt overpriced for what it was.
