Cambridge Visit.

After reading some negative reviews, I can only say my experience was excellent. We stayed in the chalets which were all beautifully furnished & spotless.Very near to park & ride & a super Garden Centre 2mins away. Excellent location would certainly go again.

1920’s panache. Great location.

December 2024 - checking in is ‘after hours’ friendly so if you arrive early for day tripping in Cambridge you can park at the location and return to book in and collect keys later. Staff on site at time of review are on till 23:00. There is a system for later checkin. Parking and location secure. Rooms are bursting with character. Think 1920’s ‘Hercule Poirot’ panache. Heating goes off after midnight but under the covers it isn’t a problem. Bath / showers are excellent. A great location. Particularly if you want something other than the usual ‘rotating doors’ chain style faceless corporate thing - and are working to your own schedule and no one else’s. I’ll be staying again.

Rectory Farm is set in a stunning location, in the middle of beautiful rolling countryside, yet easy to reach from Cambridge (we did a combination of cycling and public transport). Although Rectory Farm does not have breakfast facilities, they offer recommendations nearby. We opted for the Caton Orchard Garden Centre, and loved it. The room (we had the Superior King) was comfortable and the bathroom spacious and clean. The overall atmosphere was that of a luxurious old-world stay. As for where they lost points, in our opinion: - no bicycle storage, guests are expected to leave their bikes exposed to the elements - the coffee/tea facilities are basic, in this day and age business may want to consider offering non dairy milk options (they comes in sachets, just like dairy and with no fridge facilities, one cannot bring their own) and maybe 2-3 different options of tea. This is just a small observation. - we put some of the decorative pillows on top of the wardrobe, but when we took them down at the end of our stay, they were very dusty (the top of the wardrobe had not been cleaned). Other than this, lovely place to stay, would be curious to go back during the summer to make the most of the outdoor space!

Modern tech, but could use a few tweaks

A stunning farm and hotel, with a good atmosphere and conveniently located. There are a few things that I think need tweaking, however: I booked via the app and was allocated a room with a digital key, which worked perfectly, but this doesn't allow access to the building with the coffee and snack room (which requires a fob). Once I did have access to this room, the coffee machine was a huge source of frustration and painfully slow with it's transactions. After 10 mins of arguing with it, I eventually gave up. The heating was switched off (unless I'm being daft, but the radiators were warm initially) during the night - while I understand the need for this, it makes it unpleasant for guests arriving late to the hotel. There were no extra blankets so it ended up being an uncomfortably cold night. Lastly, the mattress in room H4 could do with some updating as I could feel the springs in it.
