The grounds and the facade of the building are excellent. The rooms are quite sparse, bland and tatty but functional, in agreement with many other reviews I’d say they are more like student accommodation or nursing home rooms. With a small amount of time and money this could be improved by things like replacing of the grubby silicone. This is also true of the dining room and bar (the bar really is resembling a nursing home lounge and totally soulless). I could overlook many of these issues to an extent if the service was good, unfortunately this was the main issue with our stay, staff were not unpleasant but looked like they were just there to do the bare minimum and not going out of their way to welcoming. Our first morning breakfast we were the only guests left in the dining hall, bizarrely the 3 staff present stood right next to our table, one even leaning on the chair next to myself and began a conversation amongst themselves discussing work related issues, after a while the older and presumably senior member suggested they move away from the guests, really this should never happen. On our second morning breakfast, we arrived at 9am only to find most of the hot food items empty, on asking if these were being replenished we were told this was on its way, after 20 minutes some eventually came out but some items remained empty. This meant we were able to starting to eat at around 9.25. 9.30 on the dot the staff started clearing away around us.

Unexpected

Very friendly casual type of hotel with many visitors attending a conference . Breakfast was outstanding and eaten on wooden tables in a panelled hall. Rooms well equipped and clean. Good value for money.

Very impressive site as we turned into the drive. When we checked out the reception staff member gave us a great tip about not driving into Cambridge because of the extremely high parking costs. Instead they told us where the nearby Park & Ride was. A very convenient and very must less expensive transportation option that we wouldn't have known if not for her. We also enjoyed the buffet English breakfast, which was included in the rate. Finally, there was a beautiful walking path around the estate that we enjoyed.

Felt special

Amazing hotel. Beautiful grounds. Staff were warm and welcoming. Room was in turret and was like a normal hotel room. It does not match exterior but still had a lovely stay. Breakfast was good, well cooked. I was so glad we stayed here. Lots of history on show. Would recommend and stay again. A short distant drive to centre about 8 mins but not a problem and the venue was worth the distance.
