Although the Harvard Inn was busy with Sunday diners we were greeted warmly and efficiently. Arriving slightly before check in our room No 9 was ready. First impressions were positive. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Absolutely no complaints about bedroom or bathroom facilities. Only comment would be room was very hot, bathroom window could only be opened slightly (due to hooks in the wrong position) and the lack of a box of tissues. The room was noisy but it is on a busy main road. There was an excellent choice at breakfast all freshly cooked to order. Can’t recommend highly enough especially if like us you have a function at Stock Brook Manor - a very easy 5 minute drive away.

Lovely convenient overnight stay

We stayed here as it was convenient for a local wedding. We paid for an early check-in and the room was ready when we arrived. The room was de-luxe and comfortable. the staff were very friendly and courteous. Breakfast provided a good choice, was leisurely, wholesome and tasty. Our only downside was the road noise which is not really surprising for a Coaching Inn from tudor times and earlier
