Great friendly staff to welcome you in, the business room was on the snug side with the alcoves, but still a comfy room! I did expect shower gel in the Bathroom but their is a Sainsbury’s a few minutes away to get supplies if you didn’t bring any. Would definitely stay here again, but maybe with a different room / floor as there was quite a few beers on the staircase (reception lady was very helpful with trying to get these moved on)

Beautiful grounds and building. We stayed in the chalet and room was good. Parking and use of the pool should really be included in the price in my opinion. Beer from the fridge was not cold at all. Location good for getting into Cambridge though and would consider staying again

Visited this hotel 5-6 times. I like the quiet room and comfortable beds. Only the last experience was bad...bed sheet and pillow cases not changed, smells stinky and feel itchy, not sure it's dirt or bed bugs.
