A lovely welcome and everyone during our stay were lovely. We stayed in the outside annexe so can’t comment on more internal rooms. These rooms were clean and well equipped just are ready for a refurb which judging from the rest of the property will be done I am sure. Still very worth a visit the restaurant was amazing

Public areas were great and full of character. Staff were friendly and the bar stocked a good selection of beers. The accommodation however is tired and in need of refurbishment.

It was a convenient location for where we were going. The room was adequate but could have done with a makeover. Breakfast was not until 9.30 so too late for us. The rickety wooden staircase upstairs was hard to negotiate for us over a certain sge - when leaving, we found there was an outside metal staircase.

Car parking is both ample and free of charge. Pleasant and large outdoor seating area Bar/restaurant is very charming and cosy with nice olde worlde features. Staff were all lovely and service good. Wholesome well cooked and nicely presented food at reasonable prices. We stayed for one night in Room 12. Generally it was okay, but the shower room was in desperate need of some cosmetic tlc. The shower gave a decent flow of hot water, but the sliding cubicle doors didn't meet/join where they're supposed to! The worst aspect however was the very loud creaking floor board noises caused by the guests in room above moving around. Sadly this ruined what otherwise would have been a peaceful night's sleep.

Great place to stop off.
Was a great place for an overnight stay. My only potential issue was the 10pm cut-off for checking in. In theory I needed to get there nearer 11pm, but as it happenedon the day various health factors meant I was well inside 10pm.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay in a quiet location but near to Peterborough. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was ensuite with a shower. We had an evening meal which was fantastic, very good sized portions. Would highly reccomend and will definately stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Wishing Well. Sam and her team were wonderful hosts, accommodating our requests and additional requirements with a smile. Dining options in the pub were very good, and we enjoyed getting our whole family together on one evening. Thanks for accommodating us, we look forward to returning again some time in the future

The decline of the Wishing Well is under way. It's easy to see that just a few years ago, perhaps before the current owners took over in 2020, it was better, but from an accommodation perspective it is past any prime it may have had. The rooms are unclean. I had to wash even the (mismatched) coffee cups before use - they still had liquid coffee in them. The shower was grubby, with mould-blackened grout and some former users hand-marks on the controller. It delivered only a faint impression of water. Paintwork is peeling, and a Henry hoover, which blocked the narrow hallway (and therefore the fire exit), was left on display as if to say "yes, we do clean this (badly moth-eaten) hallway carpet". The food at dinner was good (the chewy chips notwithstanding), and the excellent chef - who was in the kitchen when our server commented negatively on the man's ethnicity - was the only staff member present the next day at 9:00, an hour into the breakfast service. Two others arrived in due course to support him, and to explain to us that the kitchen was devoid of breakfast cereals (except Rice Krispies and Cocoa Puffs), marmalade, Earl Grey tea, croissants, and multiple other breakfast standards. Apologies we're made, at least. The rooms were only £85 each, but we expect cleanliness at any price.
