We really enjoyed our one night stay in the Chalet next to the main house. They are building an extension on the main house but there was no early morning noise for us. The check in and check out were contactless and there were covid safe precautions in place. Staff was friendly and always smiling. The room was small and cosy but had everything we needed. I loved walking around the farm and seeing the horses. I bet this place is especially lovely in the summer months as we saw a pool and tennis courts. Even off season it was a nice happy place to be. Beware however that the footpath to the pub and town is closed until Jan 2021. We got stuck on it just as they were closing it down for resurfacing but just managed to get through to the pub. No food at Rectory right now so a car or Uber is needed. The Plough, which is nearby, is a good alternative.…

Covid friendly arrival. Easy to check in and check out. We stayed in the annexe building. The room was comfortable with a very large bed. It is slightly tired but the room was very large with a kitchen and seating area. We weren’t allowed to use any of the kitchen facilities even though they were there. Kettle, tea and coffee facilities were adequate. We weren’t advised that there were major building works taking place so at 7:30 each morning the builders arrived! Around 7:20 on one morning a giant crane arrived and was parked 6 foot away from our bedroom window. At 4:30am a high pitched alarm went off followed 2 hours later by the fire alarm going off. When the staff were advised they said it doesn’t usually do that rather than I’m really sorry about that! On the positive the place is set in a great location. Walking distance to some pubs and the park and ride. Great walks round and about. Once the builders have left I would consider going again. …

We booked on the day and got a king double room for £68, no breakfast. Check in was COVID friendly, no contact and very easy. Our room was not huge but the bed was! It was very warm in the room but opening the windows and a large fan sorted that out. The room overlooked the very beautiful gardens. The usual tea and coffees were on offer with biscuits and a very welcome jug of water. This is a hidden gem. Only 5 minutes from town but feels very rural. Plenty of parking and beautiful rooms.

In 50 acres of beautiful land and what a magnificent house . It is listed as a farm but more like an ex stud farm than agricultural . I am in the actual house in a large clean room and it’s very clean . There are two wonderful pubs close by for meals and breakfast at the Garden centre very near . We had lunch at the Plough ( across the field ) and dinner at the Three Horseshoes down there Road . Maddlingley is a delightful rural part of Cambridge with the stunning American Cemetery there . Lots of car parking and a private drive plus next door to the M11 ( no real noise though as shielded by trees and a big field ) Room rates for the chalets in the grounds were only 60 pounds and in the main house 70 so well worth the money .

If you are looking for a gorgeous place for a romantic break or just a lovely place to escape to then Rectory Farm is it. Surrounded in gorgeous countryside with a lush old main house or new accommodation to book, you won’t go wrong here. Due to COVID at the time of writing, meals are not available but that matters not because the hotel is simply gorgeous. I have taken some photos for you to check out. Enjoy!
