Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is in a stunning setting with beautiful grounds. The rooms are spacious and modern with every facility you could need, but the power shower was a real highlight. The staff, especially housekeeping, were incredibly friendly. However, the dining options, especially for a vegetarian diet, were limited. The setting is picturesque, but it's not the most convenient location. The facilities are top-notch, making for a luxurious stay.
The hotel is nestled in beautiful surroundings and so close to the town center, offering a tranquil setting with easy access to local attractions. The rooms are modern, spacious, and well-equipped, but the power shower was a standout feature. The friendly housekeeping service kept everything clean and tidy. The dining experience was exceptional, especially for vegetarians, with a variety of home-sourced dishes. However, the lack of included Wi-Fi may detract slightly from the overall value for money.
The hotel is truly a gem, with spacious rooms featuring large sofas and power showers, offering a great value for money. The service, especially housekeeping, exceeded my expectations. Its beautiful grounds make for a tranquil stay, yet it is conveniently close to Cambridge city centre. The dining experience, including delicious Belgian waffles, was a delightful highlight of my visit.
