University of Cambridge has the money to do better

The property is in good order and the room facilities are clean and fresh. Let down by untuned TV with host of tuning and programne search options all of which failed. Just a bix plugged into the wall. Internal service phone inoperative. Last of all. The mattress creaked and cracked with every pressure. It sounded very tired. Overall though the price matched the product so ill leave it there but in reality these things shouldve been checked prior to letting out.

The inside had been modernised very tastefully but it wanst until i got to the room and settled in that i realised how this the walls are. I didnt notice any noise from the other rooms until someone needed the toilet, then i realised how thin the walls are as i could hear everything. All night everytime someone went to the bathroom!!!!!!!!

I particularly felt the breakfast was first rate - even the fried eggs were uniquely without crusts! It was easy to get into Cambridge using the park-and-drive only a few minutes away.

Great for one night

Food fine. Had fish and chips on evening and cooked breakfast in the morning. All okay. This was a business trip and I couldn't get ontk the interner which was disappointing. I have been to numerous hotels anx have not experienced this before. Staff were good to try and sort out issue.

We stayed for 2 nights. Don’t let the exterior shots fool you. Beautiful building on the outside, but the walls and roof above our bedroom was infested with either mice or rats. Scurrying could be heard, which made us feel like the fury critters were in the room. There was evidence that the critters had been in the room at some point, possible bait in the bedroom cupboard and damage to the carpet, possible sign of chewing. On a positive the breakfast was certainly a redeeming feature.

Away from the city hustle and bustle

Its a lovely old manor house set in its own lovely grounds and is part of Cambridge University. It is set on the southern side of the city. Check out is a very civilised 11am. It has a spacious bar with a garden terrace which does a limited menu but there is a pub a short walk away if you want something more substantial and a larger selection of beers. Breakfast is comprehensive and good quality. If having a cooked breakfast and there are not many guests booked in I would advise eating near the start time of 7am/7.30 weekend as, like most buffet style breakfasts it is lovely when it is first put out and from my experience a bit overcooked when it has been on display for a while. I would imagine that if you stay when there are plenty of guests this wouldn't be a problem as the items on the buffet would be replaced more often. It might be a personal thing I would prefer the plates were warm enough to stop them cooling the meal in which case, for me, it would be perfect. The staff are lovely and eager to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I have found that If disabled, they will bend over backwards to cater for you. I find it to be an oasis of calm and a good place to unwind after spending hours driving or sightseeing. Maddingly Park and Ride is nearby so you can dump the car and buy a £4 return ticket and avoid all the camera traps the very expensive car parking and the suicidal deliveroo cyclists often with no lights and riding through red traffic lights in the city.
