Noisy room

The annex room was clean and comfortable but had no sound proofing, the neighbour thought it was ok to start making and taking business calls at 5.10 am onwards disturbing all of the other guests, not the hotels fault but they might consider putting some ear plugs in guests rooms.

Beautiful gardens, pretty rooms and helpful staff. Breakfast too pricey so went into Cambridge on the park and ride. Apart from a small bar of soap there were no toiletries, the bed was comfey and the room had a lovely outlook over the garden. Very reasonably priced.

The room was lovely as were the grounds, but it would have been nice for lunch and/or lunch to be served in the dining room as the the other establishments were very expensive and quite up market making me feel a bit uncomfortable overall. The snacks and coffee room was a bit of a joke, a vending machine that was pretty much empty and a coffee machine that offered only 2 different types of coffee and hot water, not exactly welcoming. And nowhere did it state online or around the property that you have to pay extra to go swimming, i was happy to pay it but then noticed a sign saying no lone swimming, surely if you have a pool you should have a life gaurd as well?

4am brightness

A little disappointed with the hotel, no blackout curtains or blinds on 2 skylights in my room, so woke at 4am.. additional "car park" fee which i thought was ludicrous.. wasnt even sure at breakfast if eggs where eggs for scrambled or if it was made from powder.. overall a little disappointed with the hotel

Peaceful, beautiful location for a relaxing break.

Lovely peaceful location, with the added extra of horses and sheep on the grounds. Hotel rooms basic but clean and hygienic. Close to Cambridge town centre around a 10min drive away as well as a local garden centre; a place to have breakfast and a local pub (5* food was amazing) called The Plough and Cotton.
