to get started.

Breakfast was nice. Location, was good for what we used it for - staying overnight to break a journey. It was close to the motorway, but round the corner in a nice countryside place.

The breakfast was very satisfying. It was a good way to start the day. The location was within walking distance of Churchill College, which is where I was attending some business meetings. For people who enjoy walking, it is about a half hour hike to some of the more interesting parts of Cambridge. It is a very peaceful setting, removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

Beautiful property, clean and comfortable rooms, nice staff, good breakfast

Simona

Had no breakfast at Inn as I thought £10 too much for continental breakfast so had "full English breakfast with large coffee" for £8.45 nearby.

We liked and loved our staying In Rectory Farm. The room was very cozy and comfortable. Beyond city noise but not far and easy to get to city center by car or bicycle or public transportation.

Cross between a country inn and a B&B - there is the main home and the reception building located centrally on the property with power road side gates and long tree lined drive in - room was not large but spacious enough - spotless clean room and bath - even cold water in a thermal flask on the desk - shower instant hit and lots of water - grounds and gardens very pretty and relaxed - not sure why the 2 pound parking fee as could just as easy built it into a room charge and said free - owner host was charming, staff friendly but professional -definitely worth staying in but book early as was fully booked when I was there and it is building a good reputation 😊😊😊😊😊

Bathroom door didn’t shut, walls paper thin, room cold, ceiling paper coming down, 3 live crickets sharing with us, ‘chalet’ doesn’t accurately describe a tacky cold little room.

Walking distance to Cambridge Park and Ride and a 15 minute walk to a good but quite expensive restraunt. Plenty of parking space. There is an outdoor pool but we did not use it. It was in a nice setting, just off the main road but set well back with a long drive and automatic gates. You cannot hear the road from the property. Although we didn't stay in it, the main house is very nice and this is where breakfast is served and there is a sitting room in here with an honesty bar. There are nice walks in their own extensive grounds and it is through these that you walk to the Plough restraunt.

£2 for parking seems a bit off, I am already paying to stay and too be charged for parking seems to be an added charge too far, you will not walk to stay here. The charge is low enough that people will just pay it but it isn’t right.

I was very surprised, in a gated hotel, off a busy main road with no other parking possibilities, to be charged £2 per night to park! It felt exploitative. I did consider continental breakfast and afternoon tea charges were extremely high too so did not have them on principle.
Our lamps were on to welcome us to our very comfortable chalet room when we arrived after dark.

There was no air conditioning in the room so it was very hot you couldn’t open the window. Also the fact you had to have a £50 holding deposit even though I had paid for the room. The fact that they keep the £50 until they have cleaned the room and won’t release the funds until later on have known no hotel to do this before and think it’s unacceptable and made me feel really uncomfortable. Spoke to receptionist about my concerns.
Beautiful location close to local amenities.
