Top Barnwell Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"My stay was great, room was clean and quiet. Would benefit from having aircon. Would definitely stay again though."

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."
