This was a surprisingly lovely property. Given the extreme heat and lack of a/c, however, a ceiling fan would have been welcome. And their wires got crossed with respect to the need to pre-order the ‘grab and go’ breakfast. But really … a very nice place

Quality stay and using quaint pubs to eat

Beautiful grounds & Room. It’s a perfect place to stay. Re evening meal this is from local pubs in the area. From quaint local country pubs (20 min walk) or a pizza / restaurants in a new very posh housing complex (10 mins). Sainsbury’s also in complex too. I’ll be staying again.

We were given a room with a bath, which was brilliant, however there was a fire door just outside our room which banged loudly all night. The walls were thin and you could hear people talking and moving about in their room.

Great hotel in good location to Cambridge

The hotel has beautiful well maintained gardens and warm outdoor pool. Our room was excellent. Bed comfortable. Room and bathroom were clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again. Parking area at hotel was large and hotel is close to park and ride to go into Cambridge

4am brightness

A little disappointed with the hotel, no blackout curtains or blinds on 2 skylights in my room, so woke at 4am.. additional "car park" fee which i thought was ludicrous.. wasnt even sure at breakfast if eggs where eggs for scrambled or if it was made from powder.. overall a little disappointed with the hotel
