The rectory farm is a lovely place to stay, very quiet and welcoming. We checked in after 4pm and was upgraded free of charge. However, the hot water wasn’t working properly so we had to change rooms. The room was slightly bigger but a smaller bed which was fine too. (But I did prefer the other big bed). Set on lovely grounds. It would be nice if they had more toiletries available in the room. Other than that had a great stay and would definitely recommend.

Leon

Disliked: Staff & service
The Hotel and the grounds looked amazing, unfortunately that’s where it ended, on arrival at reception we was kind of greeted, filled out a form and told where our room: was, no details about the facilities breakfast or anything’ the room whilst nice was small, dated but in the main clean. The bathroom needed some attention, with obvious mould around the windows. The view over the garden was nice but you could sense that perhaps there was no care given to the surroundings. The bed was ok creaky and only one pillow each, same with the bathroom one towel each and one towel for that could’ve been as a bath matt or face towel. In all it felt that there was a lot of potential but left feeling very flat, There didn’t seem any interest in customer service, other hotels we’ve stayed at have been welcoming and pleasant no matter the length of stay, and someone available at all hours. Here the reception was manned from 4pm-10pm, just made it feel very impersonal. Finally keep an eye on the ‘security deposit’ never paid this on a hotel stay before and wasn’t mentioned on arrival, £50 which is taken from your account, so make sure you know before you book.

We had a great stay. The property itself is beautiful and the ground is very private. Pool is outdoor and closed during October so can’t comment. Can’t comment on the staff as we didn’t see anyone. Room was beautiful as the theme fitted in with the building style but tea/coffee tray was very poor, only a tiny bar of soap and only 2 towels for our whole stay. Location was good as only 10mins by taxi to centre of Cambridge.

The room was clean and spacious but decor was looking a little tired. The hotel and grounds were beautiful. Breakfast was well cooked with plenty of choice but luke warm, which is why we havent put excellent, £16 pp seems a little excessive. Lovely hotel, pleasant staff but room for improvement. Shame you had to pay £5 parking fee too.

Noisy room

The annex room was clean and comfortable but had no sound proofing, the neighbour thought it was ok to start making and taking business calls at 5.10 am onwards disturbing all of the other guests, not the hotels fault but they might consider putting some ear plugs in guests rooms.
