Myself, my wife Mina and our friend Nicol went for a meal there at its restaurant and had a very enjoyable time there. Food was excellent and the best prawn cocktail starter I’ve ever had. All the mains were excellent and served in good time What impressed me the most was a very high level and commitment of customer service and we were served.by Bret and would like to thank him personally for making us feel very welcome Also was impressed with its great selection of non alcoholic drinks and even had a non alcoholic wine which I had for the first time ever It was so good that I would even consider celebrating my 50th birthday there. Again many thanks for a wonderful evening.

Our Social group just had a fabulous weekend, staying at the Sibson Inn. The staff are extremely friendly, professional and so helpful. Thank you especially to Bret, Simon, Leo and all the team who helped us, thank you x It's a really friendly atmosphere and sitting around the fire in the bar area we all chatted, had some laughs and really enjoyed ourselves. We had a lady attending, whose a Beauty consultant and she presented in one of the many meeting rooms available. Plus we also held a "Bring and Buy Clothes Sale" where the proceeds are going to Charity. Again the Sibson team were wonderful and we had 2 rooms where we could set out our clothes, shoes and much more. Including the raffle we raised over £250!!! We would definitely recommend the Sibson Inn Hotel, the staff are Amazing !!!, the atmosphere is so cozy and friendly, plus the food is a high standard and delicious, for our group, occupying 20 rooms, we had Dinner, Bed and Breakfast. Thanks again all, We are already planning to come back in 2025, we are so looking forward to it Lynne Jones xxx

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Sibson Inn as our wedding venue on 9th August 2024! The planning process in the lead-up to our big day was seamless, thanks to the personable, prompt, and positive staff who were always ready with great initiative. They made sure everything was organized beautifully and felt like there was a lot of personalized care put into every detail. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful rooms and a well-designed layout that accommodated all our guests comfortably. They did an incredible job catering to a large crowd while still allowing us the freedom to personalise the day exactly as we wanted. It’s a self-contained venue, which made everything so convenient as all aspects of the wedding, from the ceremony to the reception, could take place right within the hotel. The ceremony hall is absolutely gorgeous, and the main hall is both spacious and welcoming, providing a homely yet elegant atmosphere. The entire setting felt very authentic and organic, which added a unique charm to our day. A special shout-out to Bret, who was instrumental in helping us plan the entire wedding. His support, attention to detail, and commitment truly made our day amazing. Plus, the venue’s location just off the A1 made it incredibly easy for all our guests to find and get to without any hassle. We highly recommend Sibson Inn for anyone looking for a beautiful, well-organised, and highly accommodating wedding venue that was reasonably priced!

The service was friendly. But the accommodation needs a major update. We stayed for a wedding that was taking place at the premises. The lock broke on our room door. It was removed and never replaced. No one informed us what had taken place so anyone could have just walked into our room without our knowledge. Luckily, my sister took all my valuables, etc, and locked them in her room. The breakfast is very basic. The location is on the A1, very noisy and busy.

Ate here on a stopover, bar has lots of character. Only one staff member on duty who was friendly and helpful but obviously a bit stretched. Food was overpriced for quality, burgers were pretty basic. Ok for a stop off if on your route but I wouldn’t go out of your way for the food.

Fantastic little hidden gem! I stayed here for two nights while working in the area and I wasn’t disappointed. It is run by a small team of four people and you can see the personal touch all over the hotel/bar. The food was all homemade and was amazing! Really good prices too. Room was spacious and bed was very comfy. Will definitely be back in the future.

This 17th Century Farmhouse Inn is a perfect stop over for visiting Peterborough. My husband was celebrating his 60th birthday, and I arranged for him to fly a Boeing 737 flight simulator at the nearby Aerospace Experience Flight Simulators, on Maxwell Road. The rooms are comfortable, everything you need in them, comfy pillows, fluffy towels and spacious. The bar area, cosy and easy, no fuss, so relaxing, The food, warming and simple, the home made pie was delicious. The staff so very friendly. We adored Brett, the place wouldn't run without him. He is so welcoming, friendly, cheerful and works so very hard to keep everyone happy. Never met David, the owner, but had a lovely conversation on the phone with him, very funny guy. Thank you for a lovely weekend guys, we will call in again, when we next pass by.

First of all on check in we were made to feel very welcome. We stayed here for just 1 night and had a twin which accommodated us and our dog. It was very comfortable, clean and spacious and looked over the fields at the back. You could walk the dog in the field which was a bonus. Yes the Inn is right at the side of the a1 but we couldn’t hear the traffic at all. We ate in the bar with family who live down there and the meal and service was excellent. There were lovely, generous portions of beautiful food brought to us in the lovely surroundings of this ancient building. We ate breakfast the following morning which again was lovely food and good portions. Compliments to all the staff at the hotel for a lovely relaxing and welcoming stay.

We stopped here for breakfast for the first time on our way north. We were the only ones in there but it still remained a nice cosy place to be. We both had the full English breakfast which was very very nice indeed. Building is amazing from outside and a little disappointing on the in. It appeared to have most of its original features but a little tired. Some TLC would have benefited. We will stop again and would highly recommend the breakfast

Came here as a family group for lunch prior to a visit to the Nene Valley Railway. Very conveniently located from our point of view and, seemingly, that of quite a few others. With only one front-of-house member of staff she coped extremely well under the pressure of dealing with phone calls, staffing reception, serving at the bar AND waiting at the tables - the management need to recognise that this could have all gone horribly wrong. In the event, perhaps by virtue of being the earliest lunch arrivals, were served reasonably promptlyl. It would have been better if the chefs had been around at the start!Menu good, food good, could do with a better choice of proper beers (not bottled stuff).Unless staffing level is improved be prepared to wait.

Chris the chef explained where the food came from and that the menu varies depending on what they can get from the local suppliers on the day. Gemma was on the bar and serving and very friendly and helpful.This place has charm and character by the bucket loads add to that the friendly staff and the exceptional food and it’s an easy choice to choose this local business instead of the larger chains!! 100% recommended I will definitely be back

I take full responsibility for booking the incorrect date for my stay at the Sibson Hotel, Peterborough. But I did enquire if it was possible to move the date to the correct one, eight minutes after I had booked. They were not very helpful or sympathetic but did say they would look into it and phone me back. They have not bothered, but I suspect they have enjoyed getting the money for doing nothing. I suggest they need to brush up on customer relations, even if only to tell me they are sorry but cannot move the date or refund.

Stayed over for a business trip. Beautiful building. When I first entered was unsure where to check in but thankfully directed by other guests. Checked in by friendly member of staff. When entering my room I found it dull and dingy. It had all the basics but could certainly do with updating. Due to my late Africa’s after a long drive I just wanted to go to bed. Thankfully due to how comfy the bed was and a nice room quiet room I got an amazing nights sleep. The bed was great and despite its location next to the A1 it was lovely and quiet.

I attended a wedding here recently, food at best was average with no flavour. The rooms are quaint with a lot of character but could also do with a dust, I know it’s an old building but there was so many spiders in the room and corridors, very unsettling for an arachnophobe like myself. Breakfast however was very nice, small portions but just enough for myself, my partner would disagree he likes more bacon and sausages. The check out process was lengthy, we waited 20 mins for someone to check us out despite ringing the bell several times, more staff are needed at check out time, they seemed to be serving breakfast instead manning reception. I would definitely not stay the night again at the Sibson Inn.

Travelling from Peterborough to Yorkshire today and stopped at 12.30 for lunch. Wish we had kept on driving !!! Firstly we were greeted by a lovely front of house staff member, pleasant, polite and very welcoming. Ordered off the 2 course lunch menu. I had prawn cocktail starter, no actual problem with the quality of the dish but unfortunately, I am old school and didn't realise that prawn cocktail now comes full of chopped peppers which I detest so passed it over to my partner.. The choice of roast was pork belly or roast chicken. I ordered roast chicken and was presented with a horrible chicken breast portion that was closer to a microwave oven than any roasting oven. This was accompanied by 3 disgusting inedible frozen roast potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding that was a reheated leather shell. My meal was left almost untouched, and to be fair, the lovely front of house staff member deducted it from the bill with no fuss at all. But I did leave the place hungry and knowing I will never eat there again.

Every now and again we come across a little gem when travelling around the UK.On 11th October we were driving north on the A1 and decided to stop for a late breakfast around 11am. We were the only customers in the dining area at that time. The service from Diane was prompt and very polite and the food extremely good when compared to fast food outlets at motorway service areas. A simple request to the chef for extra toast resulted in a whole plateful within minutes supplied at no extra cost. In fact, the total cost of our breakfast was extremely reasonable and it was indeed a pleasure to find a small establishment where the staff were so keen to ensure that we enjoyed a simple meal such as breakfast. However, I did mention that their signage before reaching the hotel should be improved to ensure that motorists are aware of the property and can reduce their speed as it is very easy to pass the hotel on a fast stretch of the A1. Frankly, the hotel deserves to do well.

Almorcé aquí y lo único que puedo decir es que ni era bueno o malo. Muy sosa había pastel, que era servido con un plato pequeño de Guisantes (arvejas) ni siquiera fresco todas nuestras comidas le faltaba verduras. En comparación con muchos lugares de los alrededores de este local estaba por debajo de la media. No recomendaría este restaurante ni me dicen no ir.

This was the second wedding reception we had attended here - the last time we also stayed the night but this time just the evening affair. The buffet was truly revolting. Practically everything was deep fried or straight from the freezer - party food at its worse. the only high point was that the gammon sandwiches were quite tasty. I would not recommend anyone wanting to celebrate their special day to bother with this place.

We've driven past the Sibson on many occasion and never actually stopped in, until now. This is a quaint restaurant that is also a hotel, but we were just there for dinner. The food was all freshly prepared and the chef was also welcoming to any changes due to dietary requirements. The starter of scallops and chorizo was heavenly, with the deep fried brie wedges being very nice. The pork belly for the main was beautifully tender and cooked to perfection, with the mushroom stroganoff (specially cooked) being wonderfully light and creamy with a mixture of lovely earthy mushrooms.All finished off with some delightfully light desserts and a deep, rich fragrant coffee made for a very loverly evening and one we hope to do again in the not too distant future.

Stuck in a traffic jam on an early Friday afternoon in August we were on the Great North Road (A1/A1M) and we knew that we should have left home a good deal earlier to avoid this catastrophe. It was lunchtime and, as we crawled along we came across this oasis, The Sibson Inn Hotel. Tired and now hungry, we gratefully pulled into the car park at the rear of this truly attractive building, formerly a 17th century farmhouse. We were given a muted welcome and were ushered in to a pleasant and comfortable lounge bar where we were able to order sandwiches and much needed drinks. From this bar, we watched the line of traffic that we had just left amble slowly toward Scotch Corner 20 to 30 miles further where we would eventually turn off the Great North Road.Our drinks arrived quickly followed soon after by a hot beef sandwich and a BLT both of which were delicious if not a bit small and as a result, a little overpriced at £8.00 and £6.00 respectively! However, we were grateful for the break, the use of the facilities and the sustenance in very pleasant surroundings. Definitely worth a visit.

I stayed at the Sibson for a night on a hot July day. I was given a large room in the main building with a four post bed. The room was clean and in keeping with the 'farm house' atmosphere but could benefit from modernisation.My colleague stayed in a much modern, brighter and contemporary room located in the outbuildings.Both my evening meal and breakfast were excellent! Very tasty with good quality ingredients.I'd definitely stay again although I'd probably request a room in the outbuildings.

We booked a room for one night at the Simpson Inn while travelling up the A1 to North Yorkshire from the south coast.Although it is a very small hotel we were pleasantly surprised at our room which was small but perfectly comfortable, warm and not at all damp unlike the weather at the time. There are tea-making facilities, with biscuits coffee water etc.The bathroom was a bit dated unusual in that for once the mastic was fine unlike many hotel & domestic bathrooms in the UK. Toiletries that is shampoo and conditioner are provided.The restaurant however is superb, although there are also vast next boss next for people who want lighter meals. We were very surprised at the standard of the cooking which continued for breakfast the next morning with a good choice of cooked and continental breakfast's.There are larger rooms around the courtyard which I think are a bit more modern and we might book one of these next time. Despite being next to the A1 there was surprisingly little noise thanks to the excellent double glazing. There are also fields behind the inn where you can go for walks on a pleasant evening. I'm not sure I'd want to stay there for more than a couple of days in the smaller rooms but it certainly a lovely place to break your journey. Bear in mind there are often weddings here at the weekend so it might be wise to check in advance when booking if you don't like being in hotels with this kind of thing going on. We thought the price was very reasonable compared with eg a Ramada.The only drawback really is the reception area which is a bit stark with the office area frankly untidy but don't let that first impression put you off this is a great place to stay. The staff are very helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the place was very very clean.

Staying over as a 'father of the bride' the next day, the staff were really helpful - especially the chef who prepared some lovely food at the end of service - before being shown an incredibly comfortable room with a 4-poster bed, en-suite bathroom, chairs and table to work, above the kitchen. We didn't feel the heat from the kitchen or smell anything to it was really well designed.The grounds are lovely and it seems a great place to have a conference or wedding reception.Only negative - the kettle flicked a fuse to the lights only when the it was on at the same time as the bathroom light ...but if that's all there was to say then it's nothing.Very happy to recommend it and go there again.

Returning "up north" from Dover via the A1, my wife and I were, of necessity, later than usual and too late for lunch at any of our customary 12.00 to 2.00 restaurants. Fortunately, we remembered that the Sibson Inn was more flexible than most and found, to our relief, that this was still the case.We received a warm welcome and, after a somewhat more exotic diet, gratefully opted for the beef burger and scampi respectively. Both were excellent and served with chips and vegetables. The portions were generous. We accompanied the meal with a nice glass of Merlot, taking the rest home as a "doggie bottle". To finish, we were provided with a freshly prepared cafetiere of coffee,We were given a wide choice of tables and were impressed by the ambience and service. I can thoroughly recommend the Sibson Inn, especially if you need to lunch outside the normally restricted hours and the "chef's just gone home" syndrome.

What a lovely old place, very clean and the ideal place for a wedding party. Unfortunately the staff were a little stressed because they had 2 weddings the weekend we stayed so were very busy. Having said that they were perfectly polite. The sit down reception left a lot to be desired but the buffet in the night and the breakfast next day were lovely.

Went here on Mother's Day with my wife and four girls aged 13,11,8 and 4. I saw the reviews were good and was not disappointed. The staff were wonderful and made my 4 year old laugh, the system for the carvery was organised and it was delicious, even the veggie lasagne for my eldest was lovely. We will definetly be going for Sunday dinner again.

We've driven past this place many times but finally had time to stop in for dinner on our way to York.We expected it to be really busy but the bar/restaurant was really quiet, although there was a wedding reception being held in a marquee.Very friendly barman serving, took our dinner order and we were served our food within 15 minutes. We followed up our mains with a cheese board; cheeses were chosen from a cheese menu and they were served with a good amount of biscuits, celery and a nice chutney.The price was very reasonable and surprisingly, we couldn't hear any road noise despite its location,We will definately stop here again to eat and will recommend to friends and family as a place to get a good meal on the A1 North.

Have driven past this place for years and finally had an opportunity to call in. A stunning looking building with a lot of history to go with it. We had a choice of a table or soft furnishing area to have lunch and a coffee. Attentive, friendly staff with a basic but good lunch menu. The coffee and food were good, which we had on soft chairs overlooking the countryside. Nice!I had a quick look at the rooms available, very nice, all en-suite. We will return again if on any trips up north.

We stopped at Sibson Inn Hotel for a meal for my birthday, the restaurant is open and airy with clean linen not plastic table cloths. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is cooked to order and well presented. The staff serve food the majority of the day and had several different kinds of bookings throughout the day. Would definitely recommend Sibson Inn Hotel, they also have 20 rooms although I can not comment on these as we didn't stay overnight.

We were meeting friends from other areas and decided on this Inn because of its location. We had dinner and then stayed for one night, leaving after breakfast the next day. My husband and I arrived early on the Saturday and had lunch in the bar. The food and the service were excellent. The same goes for the meal on the Saturday night which we had in the dining room. We each had different menu choices and all were served quickly and were hot, nicely presented and delicious. We had 4 double rooms between us and they were all very clean and warm, each room was different and certainly had its own character. The choice for breakfast in the morning was very good and again the service was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and if we return this area we shall certainly use this Inn again

We went as a group of twenty for a Sunday lunch into one of the function rooms. The meal was well presented, tasty and efficiently served. The vegetables were a bit underdone for most of us. A minute or two more would have been perfect. The staff were very attentive and customer focused.

I choose this venue because we had visited for coffee several years ago. The ambience in the bar and restaurant is what one would expect from an old building that was probably an old coaching inn. White table clothes were on the table and it was very quiet when we arrived. That is always bit off putting but by about 1.30 more people had arrived for lunch. We just had main courses - jacket potato with prawns in pink sauce and a salad garnish, also steak and kidney pie with chips and vegetable. The pie was not and an individual one but a slice cut from a bigger pie with short crust pastry. Both meals were yummy. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area but a bit tricky if you are travelling south.

We'd visited fairly recently and wanted to come back to try the Sunday lunch. The menu had 5 choices for each course but strangely only had one roast meat choice. So I chose that, roast beef and pate to start. The pate was okay, but it was a small portion, with minimal toast and dried-up, limp salad. The roast on the other hand was a succulent piece of real-roasted beef, with crispy roast spuds, large batter pudding and crunchy veg. What's more the gravy was made from the meat juices and was tasty. My friend had the home made steak and kidney pie which looked equally as scrummy.I was tempted by the pudding menu and hoped for a homemade lemon meringue, but was very disappointed to receive a small, shop-bought-like pie.The main roast meal here is great value and very tasty... go and try it. In my opinion the starters and puddings @ £6/£7 are poor value and do not live up the home-cooked style of the mains, which is a real shame.

We had been past here dozens of times over the years and never ventured in. That may have been a mistake as the food we had for our Sunday lunch was very good indeed. Service was excellent and friendly and they even had a separate gluten free menu which was great as one of us needs to eat gluten free. The portions were good and excellent value for money. They catered for a child very well also. The place itself is very characterful as it is centuries old. Well worth visiting. We will be back!

Stopped en route to collect our daughter from college as I had noticed it before and looked a better bet than service station fast food!Lovely welcoming atmosphere and friendly service.My husband and I both had the burger which was very nice and very filling, my husband had a side salad which unfortunately has unwashed lettuce in....however everything was very fresh and tasty.Would definitely stop again instead of using services on our journey from Bedfordshire to Mansfield and would stay there if we needed a stop off.

Not sure about the food or accommodation. Really disappointed still (3 years later) not to have received any form of communication from the hotel after ruining our wedding night. No one available to check us in at the '24 hour reception' (as advertised), and despite an earlier phone call to say we were arrive late after our wedding. No one answering phones and ended up getting a taxi home after waiting for an hour for it to arrive. We spoke to the Sibson the following day and left , but no one ever got back to us.

To us a choice of fast food outlet or an old coaching inn to break our journey to London is a no brainier. The Ram Jam has been lost but The Lion at Buckden on the way down and The Sibson Inn on the way back are convenient stopping points that offer charm and comfort as well as wholesome home-cooked fresh food. Long may they thrive.We have just had a lovely lunch with a glass of wine and a coffee in a bow window overlooking a garden, with the busy A1 beyond, in an oak beamed room with a crisp white tablecloth. We enjoyed pleasant up fussy service and were able to continue our journey about 45 minutes later thoroughly refreshed.

Would definitely recommend the restaurant of the Sibson Inn to its future guests. The food was plentiful, nicely cooked, well presented, a fair price and served with care and attention. Can't say better than that!

Popped in for brekkie on way to a golf break. The BEST sausage sandwich I ever had! Service was good, my mate had a great double decker breakfast sandwich and tea, coffee etc was unlimited. Will go back for sure next time I'm in the area and the menu overall looked great!

After 20 minutes waiting in an empty restaurant with our impatient 2 year old daughter, we decide to head off to The Black Horse in Nassington instead and enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch with great service there.

Staff were very friendly. I had the gammon and my husband had sirloin steak. It was cooked exactly how we like it, presentation excellent, and the chips were to die for. We thought it was a bit expensive. £17.50 for the sirloin and £12.50 for the gammon. £4.40 for a pint of San Miguel and £1.50 for a small glass of lemonade. However if you are going to treat yourselves go to the a Sibson Inn!

This was a first for a couple reasons we always stay in a hotel when we travel to see friends in peterborough and a first travelling with our dog so was a bit unsure how it would go. We were both, my husband and i were delighted as they welcomed both dog and ourselves. Food was really lovely and room was cosy,will definitely stay again. Thank you

Stuck in traffic on our way up North we decided to swerve into this lovely looking old pub on the Great North Road! Good decision. By the time we had enjoyed some good 'pub grub' we were ready to face the now cleared road.Publican was a joy. Inside the pub it was a very traditional - some might say tired I would prefer to say it added to its character! Food not restaurant standard but then again nor was the price. Would definitely stop by again. Not sure about the accommodation etc as only experienced a pleasant pub meal. (Fish n Chips for two and a great British steamed pud and custard x2 plus drinks less than £50.) No complaints!

Nice place old stone buildings look great. The bar and restaurant area are nice, low beamed ceilings, typical old pub. Food is great, and reasonably priced. Bedrooms are ok, comfortable, and mine had a bath, nice change from just a shower. It is next to the A1, but it is not that noisy, although the room I had faced the countryside and away from the A1. I would recommend it.

After leaving London in appalling weather conditions early morning and spending two hours being buffeted by spray from lorries on the M25 and M11 we chanced upon this hotel and pulled in for breakfast. To be honest I was expecting a cup of tea and toast as non-residents how wrong I was. The full English was wonderful. The bacon and excellent sausages all sourced locally were some of the best we have tasted. Service efficient and overall impression - a welcoming atmosphere and excellent value for money.

Disappointing. Cold beef overcooked and hard. Carrots and Brussels mush.stuffing like bread. Roast potatoes inedible. Didn't acknowledge us when we left and left our food. Might be cheap but at £10 but total waste of money.

I have been going to Eric’s at Thornham since they first opened, it was excellent , but gradually going downhill The batter and chips have changed so much the batter is hard and horrid whereas it used to be so crispy and the fish was so thick and tasty the chips used to be so good Went today was a small piece of fish cooked in hard batter and the chips were white and so soggy I was so dissapointed in today The fish and chips have slowly going downhill I used to love and look forward to going to Eric’s but not anymore I paid for a medium but got a small hard battered piece of fish Sorry but you need to improve your service, it’s not good anymore

Privileged that we have this amazing pub in our village. We made our first visit tonight with the new owners and what a lovely experience we’ve had. The staff were attentive and welcoming, super friendly and very accommodating. We tried a few items from the menu and each was simply delicious, both the Kichiya Chundo and the Chicken Tikka were our favourites. Pleased we can also order a take away now - will most definitely be back and would highly recommend to others.
