Good value
The room was good value and nice size. Staff friendly. You check in at the bar. But noisy re bar music till very early hours but we were awake anyway. It was a bit of a trek into the town.

We had a great stay here at the weekend. We were only there one night as we had a wedding to attend nearby. The staff are brilliant, so helpful and friendly even let us check-in early. Room was perfect. Car parking so easy. Shame we couldn’t have spent longer there. Would definitely use again if in Cambridge.

A lovely stay, the room and linen smelt fresh and clean. Thanks for the toiletries and treats with the tea/coffee/hot choc. Having a fan in the room was fabulous as we needed to keep the windows closed to limit the traffic noise. Friendly staff and very accommodating with parking allowance on our check-out day. Thank you, we will return. 👍

A bit disappointed with the service, i booked this hotel for 2 nights for 3 people, after booking i phoned the property and requested 3 single beds, the woman i spoke to said we will have a room with 3 singles beds, when the lads got there the room had a double and a single, not happy

Staffs are pretty friendly, the parking lot is isolated and safe. Night food for downstairs bar. the only issue is the room is a little small.

Very nice place- everything clean, comfortable bed, nice staff. It is very close to the busy road though so earplugs are a must.
