10/10

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.
