If you have realistic expectations you will not be disappointed. I stayed 3 nights in the beginning of May and had no issues. Pet friendly place to stay. I had a room right in back with access to the garden. They were very sweet with my dog and even took her out to play with the other dog while I... More

Never again - first impressions count and I should have walked out as soon as I could. But my company had booked me in and paid so I was stuck there, late at night with little other option given the late time. The whole place was dirty with a odour I could have lived without and after a very restless... More

I have to say this is probably the best b&b I have stayed in for quite a while. The room was fantastic and exceeded my expectations for the price. Actually it just exceeded my expectations! Parking was easy and free, wifi was fast and free, rope was warm and clean, breakfast was fantastic with proper fresh coffee. You couldn't want... More

I regret ever going there. On entering the grotty reception there was small child messing about with a dog, and the dog was making a strange noise, and my girlfriend and I was told "don't worry about it, he's just strangling the dog". I had no answer to that. The landlady was rude, impolite, and the simplest request were treated... More

For the price a reasonable standard B&B. No issues with booking or payment. Comfortable and clean room although one or two bits of wear and tear, to be expected for this very reasonable price. Ideal for cheap one night business stay - no frills should be expected. A short drive into Cambridge. Only (small) gripe was limited parking if you... More
