The room was clean and fit for purpose. However they are not very well sound proofed. One morning we were woken up at around 8am to workmen at both ends of the corridor, drilling and banging. We were not pre warned of this, and were informed that they shouldn’t have started until 9 am.One night there were guests making alot of noise in their rooms keeping us awake. The rooms do not have phones in for you to Ring the reception desk. We ate breakfast and dinner in the bar which we could not fault, it’s also worth going a few minutes up the road into st neots. The location was great and easy to get to other places. The staff we saw were also really polite and friendly.

Went to gym over the road but very busy (perhaps a january thing). Food was good, but only burgers, pizza, loaded fries etc. But the burger was really good. The sports bar was also excellent. Nice room and staff were very nice. I would stay again

Room was spotless, bed was comfy. Staff are lovely and helpful. The food is good and the settings are great. The only thing that stopped me marking a 5 was the fact to play darts & shuffleboard cost quite a bit. Darts are generally free to play in pubs but here was £25! Shame as it was raining so we would’ve spent some time in the bar playing games had it been cheaper.
