Very helpful staff but did not have support from maintenance re heating in the bedroom. Had to change room twice and the rooms should have been of a comfortable temperature when guests arrived.
Efficient receptionist who booked us in with ease.
Rectory Farm was lovely, set in it's own grounds. Easier to find than I thought.
Only stayed 1 night, but wished it was longer.
Room was very comfy in one of the annexes.
Didn't sample the breakfast as needed to be on our way quickly.
Would definitely stay again.
Perhaps the best place i have ever stayed at, relatively clean, very cosy, and conveniently within walking/ bus distance from Cambridge.
What i would have liked to be different:
-parking is 5 pounds/ day, which may not seem much, but there was no mention other than 'available on the premises'.
-heating was centrally managed- at times too hot and others almost too cold.
Clean rooms, friendly staff, quiet and beautiful area. Showers are good with good pressure in the water.

Beautiful welcome. Staff made it. Signposted well. Funny reception desk and makeshift bar next to it but added to the charm. Room was lovely and bed so very very comfortable.

Quilt filling had moved into clumps so no filling in places which along with the heating not working on the firdt night meant we were cold in bed. The first room we were offered room 3 had a knackered mattress.
