Top Barnwell Hotel Reviews

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, clean room. Staff was helpful. Great location. We bought the breakfast the first day but it wasn’t great for the cost. Cambridge was a beautiful city and we walked everywhere which was nice."

Rectory Farm

8/10 Good

"A unique location, very quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature. A few miles away from Cambridge city centre and a 10 minute's drive from Duxford airfield. I would have expected shampoo/shower gel though, but there's a Sainsbury's around the corner. Sadly, a breakfast option at the premises is not offered, but can be done at Coton Orchards not far away. Two great gastro-pubs nearby for dining. Very friendly staff, will definitely consider to return."
