Tiny room. Poor shower. Stairs to bedroom are a bit dangerous. Scary coming down with bags.

Nice and homely.
Lovely dated property that is very welcoming with friendly helpful staff.
The bed was two beds put together but when you see the size of the corridors it explains why. We both slept really well and had no problems with it.
Only criticism would be the bathroom. It was a bit tired and was showing signs of needing an upgrade.
The pub is mainly directed to the food side of the business, which we couldn’t blame them, but was still a nice place for a pint or two. The food was excellent and well priced.
We would definitely stay again.

Dirty rooms, blood on bedding and burn markings! rooms desperate need of updating.
Food is terrible and over priced. Not enough staff and chef was outside my room swearing and shouting at the top of his voice during a discussion he was having. Not ideal when children are with us!
Music on seriously loud from the kitchen until gone midnight, keeping us awake.
Do not stay here if you like comfort and cleanliness. I am not a critic usually and don’t bother with reviews as it’s subjective and wouldn’t want to sway anyone away from staying at hotels, but I couldn’t not review this hotel. Please spend your money elsewhere!! Just awful!!

I like that:
- It’s near this neat old church, for starters.
- it has a quaint old English world feel to it, something I’d hoped to experience while here in England for the 1st (& very likely, not my last) time
- it has very good service from the workers.
Next time, I’ll organize my tour of the university better & when I do, just guess where I’ll be staying ;)

We went to stay to be near a family occasion and found this to be a good value for money. There are a number of minor issues where a socket didn’t seem to work, a party which carried on to midnight we didn’t know about and the bar closing early on a Sunday, but the people were very helpful and friendly and the food for breakfast was excellent and gluten-free. Parking is limited but they are planning on expanding that so if that’s important you need to know. in terms of sustainability it’s a 400 year-old building so full marks for that, otherwise didn’t seem to be a priority.

Brilliant find very convenient for IWM Duxford. As a gluten intolerant pescatarian, I cannot fault the service and quality of the food. Despite there being nothing on the menu suitable for me to eat, chef made me truly delicious fishy main and gluten free dessert. Fantastic.
