Funeral

Upgraded to the main house and after seeing the rooms in the annex I was disappointed with my upgrade. The rooms in the annex were nicer and had nicer beds.they were also slightly bigger. So not sure what I had for my upgrade??

Unfair charges

At it's most basic, Rectory Hall is completely fine. I have stayed here a few times for work in Cambridge. All the rooms I stayed in are perfectly fine. The problem is the ambiguous and unfair charging policy. This time I was charged for parking overnight. No explanation was given. My card was just charged. I did choose to have breakfast for the 1st time in ages, which is £16. Not only is it overpriced but it is poor-average.

A Disappointing Stay

The room was comfortable and quiet. However the bathroom was cold. We worked out how to switch on the towel rail from outside the room. In the cold weather it needed to be switched on. The breakfast service was well meaning but rather chaotic. Our main concern was that the room was not made up after our first night and tea, coffee, milk were not replaced. It has the potential to be very good but seemed to be run on a shoestring.

Nice place but watch out for the parking surcharge

Well priced accommodation and pleasant stay. Just disappointing that after choosing this hotel for its price and quiet location, we then got charged £5 for parking to stay at a fairly rural location is called ‘Rectory Farm’ & all around are fields, not usually somewhere you’d expect to have to pay a surcharge for?

Nice place

Nice king size bed and big shower for 2 people. Bed comfortable and house and grounds beautiful. Only issue can hear next rooms plugging into sockets and doors closing which woke us up.
