Great nights stay

We stayed on Sunday evening and arrived to a warm and cosy atmosphere. Our room had every we needed. It was quiet and all we could hear was bird song. We had that evening in the restaurant and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The beef roast was amazing. We stayed for breakfast on Monday morning and the selection and quality was excellent. We had a lovely stay and would stsy again, thank you.

The staff are exceptional! The room was clean. The shower wasn’t. There was mildew in every corner of the shower. It was disappointing since other than that area everything else looked clean. We had dinner in the Pub & the dessert I had, (Sticky Toffee Pudding), was amazing!

Great location for visiting Cambridge

Lovely cosy room. Modern and clean. Needs a bit of TLC in some places. Comfy bed and quiet surroundings. 5mins drive from Milton P&R which is fab for accessing Cambridge.
