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.

Great pub, terrible accommodation
The staff were lovely and the pub itself nice. The room though was awful. I'm no light sleeper, but the noise from the other rooms was very loud. Room itself was in poor condition, dusty and the bed uncomfortable.

The staff were really welcoming, but no-one was on duty when I left. I handed the room key to the cleaner who spoke no English. The downstairs room I was in was not well insulated from noise in the room upstairs.

Give it a miss
I'd read the reviews before booking and although some said it needed updating these were in the minority so I took a chance. I should have listened. The positives was that the bed was comfortable giving a good nights sleep and the shower was good as well. Everything else left a lot to be desired. The room is very basic to the extreme, no fridge, no wardrobe. The room is the very definition of sparse. When asked about breakfast we were given a list to choose from and told they didn't do hot breakfasts during the week. What I hadn't expected that it would be placed in a broken paper bag and placed on the window ledge outside the room. I only noticed it as I stepped outside at 10.30 at night when I saw it. Also from a (lack of) safety point of view the door leading to the fire escape is left open all night. All in all, I can't recommend The Wishing Well which is a disappointment as I remember coming here many years earlier for a wedding receiption and the food then was great. The following night we spent in Central London near to Tottenham Court Road and the cost wasn't that much more than here
How breakfast was left. Note the milk is uncovered. We left it on the window sill in our room as there was no fridge to keep it in
The breakfast. I chose most of the items that was available on the list.
