Pointers Guest House

We had stayed here in 2021 so we knew the property. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The owners are very helpful. Full English breakfast is very good and sets you up for the day. The house is in 15 acres of land which the owners have developed over the years into an award-winning conservation "park". You can walk around at least some of it, but we have yet to do that as we have only stayed in winter! We recommend staying at any time of year, but we would like to return so that we can look around the grounds in summer!

If you are thinking of visiting Cambridge,Peterborough,Ely or the lovely towns and villages of the Fens then a stay at Pointers guest house is highly recommended. Lovely rooms with the best shower in the en-suite bathroom. Delicious breakfast with a wide choice available. Secure and safe parking. Beautiful gardens in which to relax after a busy day.

We were quite surprised when we arrived at the high automatic swinging gates and drive way leading to this lovely house and gardens. The rooms were quite spacious clean and very comfortable. Our window faced the lane that was very quiet and we looked out on fields which was lovely .Not a building in sight. Breakfast was served in the conservatory looking out on the gardens, and the smoked trout (best ever) and home grown tomatoes were very tasty. David was able to tell us interesting facts about the area and the fens. A lovely place to stay.

Without shame, the host called asking if we took the TV remort, what horrible thing to ask your customer and that is after enduring slow service of the host who lives in the same building, which makes its difficult to live as you cant even play any music and be yourself in a real vacation. Don't go to this place, the service from people its hard to watch, you have to cringe yourself to see them struggling to service, in top of that being the meaniest people you will ever find

I booked in 2 guests who my company contracts to write software The host kindly provided a conference room for myself, my 2 guests and a locally based software contactor which we used free of charge for 4 days whilst we worked. The host provided at minimal cost, morning elevenses, light lunch and afternoon snacks with hot drinks all of which were very prompt and well presented. Our host and his wife prepared home baked cakes and scones all of which made us very welcome. To my disappointment, my guests left a damaging and unnecessary review - and it is to this end that I would like to redress the imbalance of that review with this one. I feel that I am justified in this because it was my company paying the bill and as such my review is as important as that left by my guests the content of which I wholly disassociate myself and my company from. Our host was in all respects courteous and considerate, providing a good service at all times when I was present and I assume this was so when I was not. The Guest House is well kept with a spacious conservatory looking over well kept gardens with a large duck pond to one side with a fountain - quite a tranquil place to enjoy a first class full-english breakfast to set one on the way for the day ahead. If you are looking for a night spot or disco, don't bother booking - if you are looking for a homely and tranquil place from which to discover the surrounding Fenland beauty during the day or walks in the countryside, then don't hesitate to book.

We have really appreciated our short break here and are only sorry we have to leave so soon and haven’t had time to meet the owners’ beautiful dogs or explore their 15 acres of small holding. Our welcome was business like but okay. We had the beautiful triple aspect room with delightful views over the ornamental duck pond, garden and surrounding farmland. Our bed was extremely comfortable, the room immaculate and the bathroom very spacious as well as being immaculate. Breakfast in the conservatory was delightful as well as delicious. The info file in the room very helpful- do try the Windmill at Somersham for a splendid dinner while at Pointers! We spent a day in Cambridge and a day in Ely while here.
