A warm welcome, and well looked after
Comfortable cabins, and a fantastic home cooked breakfast. Yes, the drive is a bit potholed, but the welcome is second to none. I had a home cooked evening meal, which the host will provide for a reasonable cost. It is lovely to be out in the countryside - and I felt totally at home. Unfortunately I experienced a flat tire whilst there (a really old tire went pop) and the host was so kind - he sorted me out with a replacement tyre to keep me on the road for my meetings. I will book again, and take my wife for a quiet retreat to the country - and look forward to meeting the host once again. A lovely man.

You - Hotels.com - list the property as Wilburton. That's wrong. It's Witchford, about 4 miles from Wilburton.
I learned that I have been charged for two people in a twin room whereas I booked for just myself. I'd appreciate a refund. Your website isn't terribly clear.
The property is very pleasant. Enjoyed my stay. Lovely breakfast, friendly & accommodating host, excellent shower and good night's sleep.

Fantastic location for peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of sight seeing. A very friendly welcome from the owner who also does a great breakfast included in the price. The rooms are spot on for what you want it for. Always stay there the owner can't do enough for you highly recommend it.

Host was very friendly and helpful.
Room was rather cramped. Bathroom door needs easing/rehanging. 100m pot-holed track from road to property.

Lovely setting in the countryside only drawback is the terrible road conditions driving in to the property. Apart from that I would stay here again. Bed was comfortable

Don’t expect the Ritz but be sure to expect a warm, friendly welcome. Breakfast wonderful. Lane is a bit of a challenge that you have to drive down to get to the property, but would we go back…………of course we would!

Good value but..........
Lovely friendly host, and very good value for money. But I do want to point out a few things you should know.
You won't I've staying that the lovely house your see in the picture but a wooden chalet building to its side.
The walls are pretty thin and you can here even small noises from your neighbouring rooms,including TV and toilet.
The bedside lamp had seen better days and bathroom radiator was full of dust.
By default there's no kettle or tea making facilities in the room. You can take them over yourself.
WiFi was very bad and I could not stream any TV. No usable phone signal with Three.
Breakfast was not brilliant. Veg sausage were awful and no baked beans.

An experience
Stayed one night clean room but a bit musty smelling , Owner Shaun very friendly and helpful, food was not to our liking and was undercooked for our taste , Road approaching was a dirt track filled with pot holes full of water, All in all a weird experience.
