The Cricketers Clavering

Easy 5 star review… mostly due to the huge mirror at the foot of the bed! ;-) Lovely food/beer/staff. Cosy pub. Would stay again.

Beautiful pub with modern comfortable and nicely decorated rooms. Friendly staff and good food.

Wonderful country pub with beautiful rooms. Breakfast was delicious and on-site parking very convenient. Recommended!

Lovely food and beers, roaring fire in the bar / restaurant area

Good food, comfortable beed and easy parking

Lovely clean and spacious room with private parking. Large bathroom with separate shower and bath. Lovely pub with excellent food, couldn’t fault anything.

Lovely old pub. Excellent food, accommodation and staff. Very dog friendly.

Spent 2 nights at The Cricketers, had a lovely stay, our room was in The Pavilion annex, spacious room, lovely bathroom, spotlessly clean, comfy bed. We ate both evenings at the pub, the food was wonderful and very tasty. Breakfast was great, with a very good choice. The lady doing the breakfast service was brilliant, so efficient and friendly. Staff were very good, polite and helpful. Very enjoyable stay, we will be back.

Offering a charging point for ev cars.

Extremely friendly staff. Very welcoming and dog friendly. The building was a beautifully preserved 15 century pub. Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Meals were amazing, we had dinner and breakfast there. I would highly recommend.

Very clean and tidy. Excellent nights sleep. Staff very friendly and very good breakfast and restaurant menus. Would definitely stay again

Excellent accommodation in pristine condition could not fault it.

Stayed in one of the rooms adjacent to the car park. On a positive, bed and pillows were very comfortable. Let downs were toilet seat broken, window latch broken so couldn’t have window open as it couldn’t be secured .on a hot night this was not acceptable. Water supplied was in a refillable bottle, my pet hate as you don’t know how old it is .

Nice stay. Room really nice and bed very comfortable. Could have been excellent if they were to pay attention to detail on cleaning of shower screen, mildew on windows and painting of walls.

Lovely clean and spacious room with private parking. Large bathroom with separate shower and bath. Lovely pub with excellent food, couldn’t fault anything.

Short overnight stay visiting family. The room was stylish a clean with all that we needed. Quite village location. Very friendly and accomodati g staff and good breakfast which was included in the price.

Wonderful place to stay. Lovely decor in the room, very comfortable bed and pillows. Spotlessly clean. Lovely extras like fresh milk for your cuppa. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Very tasty breakfast in the morning. Would definitely recommend.

The hotel was lovely and our room was as extremely clean and well maintained.

Third time we’ve stayed and dined at the Cricketers. Always great from start to finish Spotless warm room , superb bedding and food is both great value and excellent quality . This particular stay was memorable due to the excellent service at check in dinner and breakfast . Thanks .

The rooms were lovely and beautifully furnished. There was a cold draft by the door (these are 'motel' type rooms) but it was a particularly cold night. Customer service was excellent and the food equally so

Went for the “better” room which was comfortable and clean. Was for a birthday meal and stay for my wife. Reasonable size room but would have been nice to have some comfy chairs or a sofa. Was a bit stark and dark. Bed clean and comfy. TV , good choice of Chanel’s. Bathroom clean and functional, shower water pressure not the best. Had dinner in the restaurant, the pub area was really lovely and Sunday roast was good but our server girl seemed pretty grumpy. No Limoncello, although on the menu. Table of quite drunk and load people in the pub which sort of spoilt it , making you feel a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast was amazing and included in the price.

Had an enjoyable 1-night stay. Accommodation was lovely, room was boutique quality and very comfortable. Our evening meal was tasty, service was excellent and the breakfast offerings were very good. Husband enjoyed his full-English especially! Clavering is a quiet, charming hamlet - and well worth a visit - both to the village and The Cricketers.

Lovely clean and spacious room with private parking. Large bathroom with separate shower and bath. Lovely pub with excellent food, couldn’t fault anything.

great room and facilities with a fan in the room but on a hot night could really do with air con, on the whole the stay was exceptional

Great bed, plenty of pillows, great tub. Desperately need WiFi extenders, extremely noisy road. Best fish and chips I had in all of England and Wales.

Fabulous idyllic village pub with rooms. Food was amazing - evening menu and brekkie - and the room was a very high standard The only downside was the green security light in the room which was bright and was a bit disturbing to my and my hubby’s sleep!

The room was clean. The staff were friendly. However the noise meant that we were unable to sleep all night and left at 6.30 in the morning without having a paid for breakfast. 1. The boiler in the service room was on all night making a humming noise 2. Guest in the upstairs room arrived in at 1.30am. The floor boards, bed , bathroom noise was very load and they did not go to bed at all. Very disappointing

Quintessentially English. Lovely atmosphere. Nice compact rooms with comfortable beds. Lovely pub. We will be staying there again.

Great pub with rooms close to Stansted. Excellent food and some great draught beers Really friendly staff

Very nice place to stay not too far from Stansted airport. We had an issue with our room which was responded to and resolved quickly. Nice room with quality bedding, comfy bed and powerful shower Both breakfast and dinner were very good

We were really looking forward to staying in the cricketers after reading all the good reviews and how close it was to our family who live local, the rooms were clean comfortable and tidy although the breakfast the next morning and service staff were terrible, my wife Son and I stayed here for one night. Got down to breakfast at 9 am and didn’t get even spoken to until nearly 9:30 am and had to wait to be even asked for a cup of tea. We then told to help ourselves to the Continental whilst waiting another 20 minutes before we could order our food so after an nearly an hour of waiting to get a cooked breakfast which we didn’t mind as we see the place was busy with only two Waitresses my wife’s poached egg on toast arrived with the avocado underripe and very hard in ediblle, the waitress then asked if everything was okay and would we like it to be replaced to which we said yes we then had to wait another 25 minutes for a replacement breakfast to come out even though at this point there was only one of a table full of people in the restaurant left everyone else had gone, the poached eggs with avocado round 2 then arrived and the eggs were overcooked again to to the point of them being boiled and hard! At this point we have been in the restaurant 1.5 hours and my wife still had not eaten and the restaurant had closed. They then offered us some pastries or coffee as an alternative which clearly is not good enough as it is not a cooked breakfast. Upon checkout we complained

Just a really nice place with really nice staff who were very acccommodating.

Very high standard of customer service, great room (very cosy). We visited on valentine's and received a complimentary surprise which made the whole experience very special. Big thank you to the team!

Enjoyable stay, excellent breakfast. No out of hours help with key issue.

Super service and excellent food. Lovely room and great location.

Comfortable and well appointed room, excellent food and great service.

Our flight was canceled at Stansted airport and this was the option we took for the night. And it ended up being the best option possible as the pub offers gorgeous meals and the rooms are very comfortable. Plus the staff and service is excellent.

Really lovely place in a tranquil village location. Lovely and quiet for a restful night's sleep. Superb friendly service and excellent food.

Lovely quiet village location rooms are very good and roomy I stayed in an annex across the road which were lovely Good and drink is good in the pub and the breakfast was very good Friendly and helpful staff

Great 16thC Pub in a small village. Excellent food, wonderful staff. I visited the Duxford war museum, about 30 minutes away. The location of the Cricketers is very rural - so if you are looking for a quaint English village feel - this hits the mark.

Travelling back from the south of England I was looking for somewhere to break the journey up so picked a place I’d heard of. Saffron Walden sounded perfect however I neglected to actually look at the hotel’s location on a map. So when the satnav told me to ignore the signs for SW I began to get concerned. I then realised this hotel was way out of town. That shouldn’t have been an issue as the accommodation was charming, comfortable and quiet. It was when I sat down in the historic inn for dinner, I discovered that virtually every single item featured meat or fish. I opted for the Mediterranean mezze, tasty but not really what I would call a meal. It’s my own fault as if I’d have found a hotel in town, I’d have been able to walk out for a suitable meal. Other than the menu, I couldn’t fault the place however.

Room was lovely, staff very helpful and breakfast excellent. Had a very good dinner there too. Will be back.

Great place to stay , everything just right , excellent food . Service particularly good , worthy of a Michelin star.

A lovely comfortable room which was nice and clean. The only downside was that we had our evening meal there and we had to return it as it was not hot

We stayed two nights at this property. Room was okay, but I think we got their last room. It had a nice bar and outdoor sitting area but the food was not good. Presentation was good but taste and quality not good. We wouldn’t choose to eat there again.

We stopped here overnight. Lovely rooms pub excellent but the best bit was the breakfast- outstanding !

Lovely traditional pub with beautiful rooms and friendly welcoming staff. Only downside was I arrived at 8:45pm and was told the kitchen was closed so I had to order food from justeat.
