Was ok

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

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.

Ideal

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 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.

Michelle, was a great host. The bar is lovely and quaint. A perfect pit stop for a couple of nights for myself and 3 under 14s. She made sure there was plenty for breakfast and anything we needed she was there. The rooms are bright and airy and a good sized shower space.

Below standard but nice staff.

Moved us rooms as had a problem with the 1st room so don't know if this was a back up room. However was awake from the rain falling of a blocked guttering splashing on tarmac outside and someone couldn't tell where from, was clomping around in boots on a wooden floor from early hours. Bed was comfy and it was warm inside but overall with the tired appearance of the room a leaking shower tray and continental breakfast it just wasn't wasn't worth the money. Cafe 100 yrds up the road does a nice breakfast though.

Working locally

Upon arrival we were made to feel welcome and safe. The room was clean and dry, the only downside was being able to hear the cellar cooling machine during the night. Otherwise good.
