Although the bed was clean, there was a lot of dirt in the room, including aged cereal beside the fridge, and areas that hadn’t been dusted for weeks and damaged areas in the en-suite. There was a lot of noise from the beer cellar chillers.

Easy check in, hosts very welcoming, room was big and clean,
Room was clean and ok nice and quiet, the breakfast was a bit poor as it was left in your room so was a box of cereal and milk with a shop bought croissant, plenty of places to eat within walking distance which was good
A good stay had a couple of requests which were dealt with and a good supply of breakfast cereal and croissants

Clean and welcoming
Due to extreme hot weather even a large fan in the room,
Staff and locals made our stay memorable
Lovely white fluffy towels enhanced the shower after a sticky hot day/ night
Would recommend here for any length of stay

Disliked: Cleanliness
Such friendly welcoming staff-could not fault. Unfortunately the double room was quite dirty and not in the best state of repair. The twin room was very noisy as situated directly near the fans for the pub cellar.
There were no clean pots for breakfast on our second day, breakfast was to be had in room (cereal, breakfast bars etc).
It served our purpose but a few improvements needed.
Room was spacious, clean and we had everything we needed. Staff were friendly, very easy check in. The only critique I’d give is the Bed wasn’t very comfortable.
We arrived later than we had planned but received a warm welcome from the hosts.
We had the family room which is a good size, well decorated, warm and comfortable.
The accomodation was spotless.
We didnt eat there but will need to be in Cambridge in aroun 6 months time, so hoping we can stay again.
Great value for money. Highly recommended.

The bed was clean but the overall room needed a good clean.
The room was clean and that’s about it the bed was uncomfortable cheap mattress shower didn’t work properly no bowl for the breakfast wouldn’t stay here again
Just a quiet clean room, exactly what we needed. A pub just like 5 steps away with excellent people giving us a very warm welcome. Felt at ease straight away.
The staff were polite and courteous.
The accommodation was a wooden construction in the yard.
There is an open porch over the front door and it was littered with cigarette stumps.
The room was clean as was the toilet and shower. The bed and towels were also clean.
The toilet/shower room was a little cramped and the window would not open.
The cutlery consisted of one teaspoon, no knife to spread butter and no spoons to eat the breakfast cereal.
The TV did not work despite two attempts by the managers to fix it. Later I retuned the TV and it worked perfectly.
The mattress was uncomfortable, hard and lumpy.
We went into the bar at nine o’clock and it was closed. We asked for a drink to take to our room and were told that the till was closed.
Would we stay again? Probably not.
what a lovely little find. unfortunately I didn't spend much time there as we were at a gig down the road but I can tell you its the best sleep I've had in a long time, so comfortable.
