Loved the romantic room as the size was amazing. A quiet location with stunning views and we loved sitting there with a cuppa and relaxing. Easy parking. Bed was comfy. Clean bathroom. We appreciated the friendly reception and close walking distance to the park and ride. This made it an excellent location.

We booked as it looked lovely, however, we were out in the outer building, small room, very out dated, asked fir an upgrade, yes sir, that will be another £63 , they have lots of land, but still charge for parking, would you like breakfast for £18 each sir, no I will go 300 yards down the road to the premier inn and pay £11, I thought looking at the pictures on their website, thus was going to be something special, I would recommend the premier.

Very helpful staff but did not have support from maintenance re heating in the bedroom. Had to change room twice and the rooms should have been of a comfortable temperature when guests arrived.

Efficient receptionist who booked us in with ease. Rectory Farm was lovely, set in it's own grounds. Easier to find than I thought. Only stayed 1 night, but wished it was longer. Room was very comfy in one of the annexes. Didn't sample the breakfast as needed to be on our way quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Perhaps the best place i have ever stayed at, relatively clean, very cosy, and conveniently within walking/ bus distance from Cambridge. What i would have liked to be different: -parking is 5 pounds/ day, which may not seem much, but there was no mention other than 'available on the premises'. -heating was centrally managed- at times too hot and others almost too cold.
