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

Good value

This hotel is good value for its proximity to central Cambridge, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The shower was a good size and powerful. It’s very limited in terms of reception staff, they are only there at occasional times, but we knew that already as we had stayed before. The check in time was confusing because the Rectory Farm app said it was 3pm but when we got there the sign said no check in until 4pm, so we then had to hang about for an hour. The only other thing that would have made our stay more comfortable would be easier access to cold drinking water in the main house: it was a very hot couple of days, the water from the bathroom tap was lukewarm and the only place to get a cold drink was the vending machine in the other building/annexe. There are no fridges in the rooms. I would still say it’s good value for money though, compared with the city centre hotels, and we had no trouble getting taxis when we were going out for the evenings.

Quiet and Calm and perfect for Cambridge

Loved our stay. Clean and comfortable. The low beam in the bathroom did make contact with my head a number of times! But this discomfort was more than compensated by the quiet and calm surroudings, the tasy breakfast and the outdoor pool. The location was perfect. A stones throw away from the park and ride and only 2.5 miles from Cambridge centre.

My room was on the top floor of the main house. Pretty small but OK. The only real problem was that the room was roasting hot, no aircon and the windows barely open so there was no way to cool the room down.
