Visited this hotel 5-6 times. I like the quiet room and comfortable beds. Only the last experience was bad...bed sheet and pillow cases not changed, smells stinky and feel itchy, not sure it's dirt or bed bugs.

Lovely house with good standard of cleanliness. There were no problem with parking. Very disappointed that there was no restaurant for breakfast as stated when booked. As reception only opened at 4pm there was nobody to help with room issue. There was a tel number provided to call for assistance but no one answered. Shame as nice place to stay.

The welcome was excellent. The room was lovely, not sure if there was a wardrobe as I didn’t find one. Parking was well organised with plenty of room although not really sure it warrants £5 per night as it’s a private car park. Near to park and ride so that was appealing. All in all a great two days stay, thank you.

The room was small. The location is okay; takes about 15 min to walk to west Cambridge. But there are no sidewalks or proper traffic lights, so you have to walk a bit on a dirt road. Feel not very safe to walk after sunset. I moved to hotels in Eddington after the stay.
