Country House Rectory Farm
Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB23 7PG, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
The location is great, it feels like the country but it’s walking distance to Cambridge. No food service due to covid and the footpath to the local pub is closed for resurfacing until January 2021 so you will need a car or Uber if staying during this time. Room was clean, staff was friendly and there are Covid safety measures in place. I’d definitely stay again.
United KingdomLovely stay ,great location sadly could t have breakfast or use the pool because of current covid restrictions. Look forward to staying again . Very helpful staff. Thank you
United KingdomAfter reading some of the negative reviews of Rectory Farm, I was very anxious that we had made a mistake in booking here. While it wasn't the most luxurious place we've ever stayed, it was really lovely. We stayed in the main house, our room was perfectly suitable-- comfortable enough bed, good shower pressure. We rented bikes to get around, which I highly recommend, because the bike into town was short (10-15 minutes) and a lot more flexible than the Park and Ride on weekends, which doesn't run as often as it does during the week. The grounds were really beautiful; we had a fantastic picnic dinner in the back garden our first night, which was really delightful. We didn't interact with anyone, which, given COVID, was a bonus. It felt like we were staying in someone's home vs. a hotel, which was really nice-- plenty of privacy, peace and quiet. We look forward to coming back again when the swimming pool is open!
United KingdomIt was a really cute room, and the location and building in itself is adorable! The room was clean too, and the check in easy.
VietnamComfortable bed and beautiful grounds. Spacious room and exceptional value for money.
