The Sibson Inn Hotel Restaurant in Huntingdonshire

Most stunning hotel well worth the visit friendly staff gorgeous food lovely rooms

Beautiful hotel. Cosy, tranquil, lovely ambience. Service was outstanding. Chris is a great asset, professional, friendly and thoughtful. Breakfast delicious. Rooms comfortable, nice decor and spacious. Although on A1, you can't hear the traffic and excellent for visiting surrounding area. Will definately be going back soon.

Good sized, clean room just a little bit noisy for me but it is quite close to the A1, so I suppose I should have expected it.. however, very comfortable, prompt service good parking outside the room, would use again.

Stayed for 2 nights as vining family. Felt safe and comfortable but breakfast a let down. Nice staff made up for it.

Stopped off here in our Motorhome and enjoyed a very pleasant and tasty meal. We booked for 6.15pm and were surprised how busy it was. Home cooked food was excellent and piping hot. We visited on a Wednesday and took advantage of the Government “Eat Out to Help Out” scheme but I can honestly say that we would have happily paid full price as it was so good and service was very quick and friendly. Definitely worth visiting again when we are back in this area

Located right on A1 North so very convenient. Lovely, reasonably priced home made food and excellent service. Great social distancing measures in place.

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

First time at Sibson’s for lunch, easy to get to, very pleasant staff, good selection of food which was very tasty with very good portions.

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.

We came to celebrate our 1year anniversary. We had three courses and each course was stunning. The food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. Nice sized portions. Service was quick. Servers were polite and friendly. We will definitely be back each year to celebrate our anniversary with a few more visits throughout the year.

My husband stays at the Sibson regularly on business and I decided to accompany him. I really love this hotel beautiful old building full of character with beams and wonky floors. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The food is outstanding. Thank you

Stayed here in the hotel and had evening meal and breakfast here. good option of foods and all home made. Not massive portion but also not small (would have liked bigger) Had the steak pie which was full of flavour and very nice.

What an amazing find just had a party here and it was truly a wonderful experience. Such amazing staff and the food was exceptional and it could not have been better in every way thank you all so much for making every effort to help us make our party just perfect see you all soon

We had our wedding at this Inn 5 years ago. Went here for a special valentines dinner. Food was amazing. Very good value for top quality food. Wished we had booked to stay. We will be back 😍

I’ve been visiting Stamford for many years now, and I’ve passed this little hotel many many times and never visited, so I decided to pop in for tea and lunch .. wow .. I had the steak and kidney pie, chips and pies.. you can really tell homemade food and I highly recommend this beautiful hotel and of course the food , thank you Chef and Zoe who made my visit very welcome, 5 *****

Stopped for a couple of nights while on business in the area.Very friendly staff and excellent service, the menu has recently changed I’m told, great fresh local produce cooked perfectly, unbelievable taste well recommended. 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.

We were so impressed with everything! The support and preparation, the friendliness of staff, the setting, the food.....it was all perfect and we can’t wait to go back. We are already talking about having an anniversary do there!

A long drive from Clacton to South Durham, and I was recommended to stop for lunch at The Sibson Inn, what a great place old, charming, warm and welcoming.

This was our second visit. Both times we were welcomed and served by lovely, friendly and helpful staff.

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.

Ate here while on an overnight stay with work colleagues.

Beautiful buildings, old and quant. Staff very friendly. Food was excellent but did run out of San Miguel 😣😣. Our only negative was that it is on the A1 with a lot of noise from traffic constantly.

Me encanta este lugar. No te dejes engañar por el hecho de que está saliendo de la A1, los dormitorios están en la parte de atrás y no puedes oír el tráfico. Las vigas en la habitación y algunos dicen anticuado decir pintoresco. El desayuno era delicioso y los amables dueños. Preciosos jardines y dios ser y precio para ser.

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. Ya que se encuentra en la A1 es probablemente mejor para almorzar en aquí que en cualquiera de las estaciones de servicio a lo largo de la ruta, si viaja al norte.

Paramos aquí para el almuerzo, ya que estaba en la ruta a Escocia tuvimos tres springer spaniel a bordo, así que es genial para ellos. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Nos sentamos afuera en un día soleado en el muy bien cuidado y amplio jardín. El entorno era excelente pero arruinado por el ruido de la A1 pero sólo de esperar por una ubicación conveniente. El entorno es muy rústico y bien cuidado.

Reservamos una estancia de una noche en ruta a visitar a la familia. La comida era increíble y el personal era muy acogedor y amable. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo, si sólo por la comida. El único inconveniente era que las cortinas son delgadas, así que tan pronto como el sol se eleva y estás despierto iluminando la habitación.

Yo, mi esposa y mis dos hermanos nos alojamos aquí por dos noches como base para una boda familiar en un hotel cercano.

Mi marido reservó mesa aquí para una noche.

Llegamos más tarde de lo previsto, dijeron que tenía una hora para la cena, como el restaurante cerraba a las 7 porque era navidad, noche de fiesta. Cóctel de gambas paté y eran buenas. Pavo asado y detalles de excelente, patatas y verduras, pero no es así. Salsa cuando pedimos dieron extra que era bueno. Tuvimos que esperar para budín frío de navidad que era una plaza diminuta y soso, pero de nuevo extra de salsa. Tuvimos que esperar para un chef para volver de la fiesta? Los dos estábamos muy fría en todo momento.

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.

The location on A1 is really great. Very clean room and comfy bed. It's a barn converted hotel- has all its charecter. Full English breakfast was not up to the standard (and hashbrown was missing)Full English breakfast was not up to the standard (and hashbrown was missing).There was no wifi available throughout my stay. When I reported this to the reception, they said they can't help it . In fact the was no wifi in any the rooms. To make things worse, mobile reception was very weak (O2 network) in that area, that I couldn't use internet data on the phone!!. Receptioninst advised me to stick around the the reception and use the wifi which was only available around her desk!!

Stayed in room 8 which was very clean and great for us having dog with us... opened out into lovely courtyard with tables and chairs...so good for smokers too!. Room was lovely, clean and spacious with a lovely and clean bathroom ensuite.As we had dog with us we ate in bar area which is stylish and welcoming.Dinner was delicious.Really liked this place and definately recommend.Stylish, welcoming, excellent service and delicious food...perfect with good value!

I stayed here as was attending an event at Sibson Airfield. Very friendly staff and comfortable room. I did not hear any traffic at all and would definitely stay again.

We are regular visitors for business and pleasure.The food is a very high standard and excellent value.Rooms are a good standard and the staff are excellent. Highly recommended.

Had an enjoyable overnight stay. Our room was in an annexe, was concerned as off a very busy road but was at the back of the hotel so was extremely quiet. It was a lovely little cosy room with everything you needed. Ate in the restaurant which we found the food to be excellent. The staff were extremely friendly, well organised and a happy bunch. Would stay again next time in the area.

This is an old converted farmhouse situated on the Great North Road. It offers refreshments, sustenance and a place to rest.

I arrived late and left early so probably not the best impression. My room 10 was huge and the bathroom was huge. Hot water was ample if u let it run a while. TV was great and the electric heater warmed the room. Plenty towels lots of tea bags and biscuits. My room was clean but there was a strong smell of damp. The rooms are grand and so is the decor. The views behind the room were stunning ! The restaurant / pub was beautiful and cosy and had a great atmosphere. The staff were lovely and helpful.

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.

I started to write a review but it came across like I was really picky so I'm just going to keep it short.Nice place, nice food, no atmosphere totally empty was given menu at bar took my husband to say can we read these at our table.We like to try new places the bell at Stilton has always won for us and was hoping that the sibson inn would steel our vote but it didn't.Still just a nice very quite place to eat some dinner.

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.

Spend Saturday the 13th February here had superb mealand B&B room was spacious and clean.My husband is gluten intolerant and the choice is fab,we spoke to the chef and he said as long as they know he can adapt most of the menu which is so nice as most places haven't a clue on GF foods.The staff are so helpful nothing is too much trouble,this was our 2nd year for Valentine meal and over night stay and we will be going next year too that's for sure.

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!

A fantastic evening dinner even with a wedding to cater for - delicious and very good choices for veges.

We had a meal for four there. Everyone enjoyed their starters, main courses and desserts: there was not one disappointment. Portions were more than average size. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. A venue we will definitely return to.

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.

Most beautiful place. Lovely setting, lovely staff very helpful and friendly. Room we had was perfect. Would visit again.

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!

Good choice of fresh seasonal ingredients on the menu such as mackerel, crab and asparagusGreat cheese board with local cheeses worth a try with a glass of port

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.

You Must stop along your travels through Peterborough into Stamford, very friendly and it's very well presented. Dinner was excellent and the coffee hot strong and dairy free, just as wee requested.

We had an excellent, well cooked, well presented and tasty meal here. The price was fair and the wine cold. . Give them a try if you are passing..

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.

I won a prize draw for a 3 course dinner, bed & breakfast for 2 people at the Sibson Inn, We had a fantastic stay, dinner was scrumptious, room was gorgeous & staff really friendly especially Brett. Will definitely be back for another stay.

Great fresh , home cooking no faults from us 4 travellers very enjoyable.Even was tempted to have a dessert when not suoopse to !!

First went on our wedding night fifteen years ago and loved it, lovely and calm atmosphere we then had an outside room in the courtyard. Last night we went again for my birthday and it was still the same, the staff were friendly and very helpful, the food was amazing and the room which had a four poster bed was really cosy. Breakfast was served hot and was enjoyable. Will definetly go again maybe on our anniversary.

Wow, wow, wow.What can I say. The meal was better than meals I have eaten in hotels on Park Lane, London. Presentation was superb, taste was even better. Anyone looking for a special meal should most definitely go here. Will definitely return.

Stayed on a few occasions, food is good and rooms comfortable, comfy beds and a good shower. Gym to use if you feel inclined.

Bit Kitch but ok - probably wouldn't go again to be honest but wasn't terrible. I like a latte and they could only do instant coffee. So not bad but not a amazing.. There is a travel lodge down the road and would do just the same job.

When travelling north this has to be a stop off point for a bit to eat. The pub is open all day and so is the kitchen. The staff are amazing There is a great lunch time menu with plenty of choice, with the club sandwich being a must try for a light lunch. If your using Tom Tom the restaurant is about 2.5 mile prior to the recommended turn off on the old sat nav. But don't worry it's well sign posted.

The menu is small but has a good variety of dishes including several vegetarian dishes. Service was smooth and efficient with no waiter hovering to see when you finish. Prices were very reasonable. Many locally sourced products on the menu.

My earlier review was rejected because I hadn't utilised the restaurant during my stay. This was only because of lack of time - I wish I had! However .... the review is for The Sibson Inn Hotel Restaurant i.e. I utilised the Inn and the Hotel bit and had drinks. Brief but nice, thanks and I would use this again, however, next time I would use the full restaurant facilities too x

stayed for one night in room 10 great room in court yard area had a few drinks in the bar and was served by Brett who made us feel very welcomed had a very nice meal in the restaurant and a full English breakfast in the morning the overall experience was great relaxing and would recommend this inn to any body well done and a big thank you to Brett.

Set right on the A1, a couple of hours from London, this charming period property is a welcome break from busy traffic. We were able to have a lovely home-made Cottage Pie and an omelette with genuine hand made chips, a glass of wine and a soft drink followe by a generous cafetière of coffee all for a very reasonable £35. All this was served by a very pleasant waiter on a white cloth in a charming little bow window table in a period dining room with beams a nd panels. Such a pleasant change for any traveller. Highly recommended.

nice place good day staff made us feel very welcome food was very good will be back because it was very good

Driving north on the A1 and very bored with the usual service station fare we saw the sign for this restaurant and decided to give it a go.Very glad we did – a traditional bar and small dining room with a welcoming atmosphere and relaxing ambience. The menu is not huge (which I think is a good sign as it usually means that they actually cook to order rather than just re-heat pre-prepared dishes). The staff are very welcoming and looked after us very well, managing to accommodate an off-menu request. The food was wholesome and very tasty. Fortunately I wasn’t the driver so managed to sample their beer as well! A lovely, quiet respite away from the hustle and bustle of the A1, which broke our journey nicely and we continued our journey feeling refreshed and relaxed.Now definitely on my route planner for the next trip north.

We called in this hotel that lies just off the A1. Easy to reach from the motorway but so much nicer than the hustle and bustle of motorway services and prices were competitive to services. We enjoyed the peace after a long drive from the south. Our meals were prepared freshly,mine a hot steak sandwich with chips and my friend had a plough mans lunch. The only weakness was that I would have preferred my hot steak in a bun or baguette. The plough mans looked wonderful. Cheese and a varied selection of fresh crisp sliced vegetables,olives,pickles and fruit. Again we expected a rustic bread rather than the dainty three cornered pieces of sliced bread. However the meals we saw other diners had looked appetising,especially the jacket potatoes. I can't comment on the hotel or wedding venue facilities but the place seemed clean,rustic and had an outside pebbled courtyard with tables and chairs. A number of old Jaguars were parked in the rear car park. The owner must be a keen collector. I would visit this hotel again while travelling up North.we really felt we had had a relaxing break and refreshed to continue our journey.

The food at the Sibson Inn was fantastic. The variety on the menu catered for all tastes. The menu starters had everything from fishcakes to soup of the day. The mains I saw on our table all looked delicious from my gorgeous Moroccan chicken with rice to a goats cheese risotto and a really tasty steak. The deserts were also lovely too, especially the sticky toffee pudding.The service was fantastic with staff happily letting us put out birthday cakes to surprise our birthday boy and girl. Bret was a very attentive member of staff who kept us entertained when bringing our dishes to the table. Definitely worth a visit for food if you're on the A1.

Stopped here on a colleague's recommendation, having expressed my frustration with the lack of good dining choices on my regular journey between Leeds and Essex. Going south, this restaurant involves turning off and doing a couple of miles diversion as it falls between junctions on the northbound side, but I have to say it is well worth it.The bar restaurant is cosy and traditional, with a welcoming atmosphere and pleasant ambience. The staff are professional, friendly and incredibly helpful, giving prompt service and answering my food allergy queries with alacrity.The menu was not particularly wide but offered delicious and varied options, all obviously cooked from scratch on the premises as the chef was able to vary my selected dishes to meet my dietary requirements.My starter of scallops was cooked absolutely to perfection (something a lot of restaurants get wrong) and prettily presented. The main course duck breast was similarly excellent, slightly let down by the rather boring veggie selection but nonetheless the nicest piece of duck I've enjoyed in a while.I look forward to making this a regular dinner stop! Reasonable prices too: two courses and two drinks for under thirty quid.

three of us had an afternoon tea, and whilst the food was good,the service was lacking and when we booked we were told we would be given options on day, nothing was mentioned and we all ended up with three finger sadwiches, beef salmon and cucumber,followed by a scone jam and cream , and 3 other types of cake, But it did lack inspiration,Also could have done with a second pot of tea to wash down with, but this was not offered.comming to pay we had to wait and track down the person to take money as rest staff had gone home and the lady didnt operate till.if you have people in at least take time to check on them.

I had seen the hotel when driving North a number of times , decided to have a proper lunch on my way to Sheffield, We were not disappointed, friendly efficient service and great food

31st July. Stopped off here, on way up North, for second time. Lovely traditional dining and is also a hotel we gather. Great menu - mine a crab salad and home cured ham, egg and fat chips, beautifully cooked, for my better half. Good line in wines too.

Treated our nan & grandad to a meal for their birthdays and this is what we all thought...Gorgeous property (inside and out).Fantastic service (start to finish).But most importantly, the food was outstanding.I would highly recommend!

Excellent price. Paid £140 for breakfast, 3 course dinner, and bridal suite.Room was excellent. Very clean and very comfortable.Dinner was EXCELLENT, with starters particularly good.Breakfast was fresh and plenty.Staff were polite and friendly, and the service for both the bar and dinner was faultless.The only issue really is the location as it's very quiet here. Unfortunately this may mean the place is locked early.However. Would I revisit. Absolutely! For a romantic getaway it's perfect.

Great hotel and restaurant , excellent service, amazing staff we had a lovely room with country views, there was six of us for dinner, it was good food great service nothing was a problem for them, breakfast was very very good and relaxing , great start to the day, would defiantly stay again,

Stopped here on Good Friday for lunch on our trip up to Yorkshire from Surrey.They say f1rst impressions count.....very friendly staff, good menu choice and the place is clean.A great alternative to the dire fast food outlets along the A1. We both enjoyed our light lunch, the fresh Devonshire crab salad was particularly good and nicely presented.. We both agreed that on the next trip up we will be stopping. Importantly they serve food all day.

We arrived with high hopes following all the other reviews on TA; whilst the food lived up to expectation the service did not. We had to ask for our coats to be hung up, we had to ask for the wine list, our wine when it arrived was not initially poured, there was no bread on the table whilst waiting for the first course to arrive, the fire was not lit despite the cold night, our plates between courses always took too long to clear despite staff wandering past, I was not offered a second cup of coffee. Overall, not very romantic.The food itself was excellent but the evening was spoilt by lack of attention to detail and service. £69 per couple for the Valentine evening for a 3-course meal inc tea / coffee is not cheap when service is lacking, but on the overhand I am more than happy to pay more when service hits the nail on the head - in this instanced it missed the target.Pity, as the restaurant has such potential.
