The Poachers — Restaurant in Stevenage

I booked this room to attend a conference when other hotels nearby couldn’t accommodate me for the full period required. It was somewhat cheaper, but not by much when you consider the other options included breakfast and en-suite facilities which this does not.||||The room was spacious with two comfortable beds and a nice sized TV, kettle, tea, coffee etc. I had access to a fully fitted kitchen downstairs. There are a few takeaway outlets and a small, very basic general store next door. This is obviously a popular and well frequented pub, which is obviously due to the welcoming landlord and staff. Despite being busy this did not disturb sleep and closed at a reasonable hour.||||The one thing that spoiled my stay was the extremely noisy retaining arm on the doors. The occupant next door left really early each morning and the groaning noise would wake the dead. ||||Having said that, by comparison to other facilities nearby it is very basic and in my opinion, over priced. Others on the course advised that I move as they too agreed when we compared...

Booked to stay one night on 3rd June 2019.||Was personally met by Landlords Son Connor. Fantastic friendly Man, very professional and excellent first impressions were definitely met.||Shown up to our room. We were given room 4 which has two double beds.||The view from the room was amazing.||Went downstairs and Connor was amazling polite.||Later that evening we spent some time in the bar with the very friendly locals.||This pub is fantastic, they have recently refurbished it, and it includes a great outdoor area and they are working on the roof terrace complete with astro turf.||Guests are also able to use the upstairs kitchen.||The following morning we met Connors Dad Jimmy ( who like his Son is very nice and full of laughter and very kind) they are working on drawing in my customers with Quiz Nights, live bands and food.||This is a fantastic pub and we were made to fill so welcome.||If you are visiting Stevenage give the Poacher a chance to show you just how great they are. I highly recommend a few nights stay. We were only sorry we had booked for a...
