The Ale Taster

Reviewed By pdjohns

This is real pub with a nice atmosphere and plenty of real ales to satisfy the serious beer chaser. Its different to other pubs on several fronts - the warm welcome, excellent covid protection for the staff and customers, a great selection of locally brewed ales and a wide selection of bottled beer, lager and stouts. The garden accommodation has protection from the weather as well as covid and the toilet arrangements - green light, red light to assist social distancing are an experience. If you are looking for a quiet drink and a friendly atmosphere you should try it.

We used Simon for a recent trip from Gatwick, there were four adults and our luggage. No worries does what it says! Completely takes the stress out of getting to and from the airport especially after returning from an overnight transatlantic flight. We were so impressed that we have booked again for another trip early next year.

Cath Kidston Factory Shop

Cath Kidston sells unique children's clothing and bedroom decor.

Reviewed By Gegsbloke

Spotted this whilst planning a trip to St Neots The missus, who is a big Cath Kidson fan absolutely loved it and spent quite a few bob there. She tells me all she bought were absolute bargains at the prices she paid. I got major brownie points and a couple of hours in the Pub for my thoughtfulness so a good result all round. The prices seemed a lot cheaper to me than their usual shops, but I am no expert on such matters. A minor suggestion to the Outlet. You have thoughtfully put a table and a couple of chairs in the foyer, but a pay coffee machine and your guest wifi code would be useful. I spent an hour sitting there and it would have been so much nicer with those couple of additions. No doubt we will be visiting there again when we are in the area!!

Really cute little museum, friendly staff. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon with the kids! Police cells really interesting, quick overview of history from prehistoric through to modern day downstairs and a 1930’s house upstairs. we particularly liked the school room with anecdotes from local people reminiscing about their school days and slates to write on (bought one in the gift shop in fact!).

I took my granddaughter here yesterday and we had a lovely time. The young female that worked there was extremely friendly and my 3 year old granddaughter enjoyed painting her princess! I must admit, I enjoyed the time away from stresses of life painting as well. We will be back!

Cineworld Cinemas

Reviewed By garethholsgrove - St. Neots, United Kingdom

This 6-screen cinema is a relatively new addition to the leisure facilities in St Neots. Comfortable seats with plenty of legroom and a good selection of films and viewing times. Sweets and refreshments are on sale in the foyer and there are several restaurants on the same site, with others within a short walk. There is a car park next to the cinema.
