"I enjoyed the stay but we were a little disappointed by the size of the room and the balcony which was tiny. I expected a little more for the price. We wanted something really special for this trip but sadly expectations were not met. On the plus side, friendly staff, nice garden and very lovely location."

"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."
