Cold experience
Cold experience as the windows were single glazed the heater was noisy and 1 of the radiators wasn’t working. Reception wasn’t open after breakfast so we found the manager the kitchen. Explained our problems including lack of electrical sockets and the flush needing to be pressed twice. All these points were (outwardly) gratefully received

Excellent!
This is a stylish, warm, comfortable hotel. The room was in pristine condition. Bed comfortable.The shower was modern and excellent. The breakfast was top-notch. On the downside it was essential to keep the windows closed as the M 11 is very close. Also the carpark, reception and hotel are separate from each other. In the rain that would be a REAL drag. I recommend you park outside Reception the drive to the hotel then park. Also there are stairs we did not know about. At 87 and 78 that can be a challenge.

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.

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.
