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.

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.
We weren’t in the main house because we bought our dog but the chalets were just as gorgeous.
Out the back of our room.
Lovely drive, well lit. Beautiful!

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.

Hotel was very nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. It's in a very good position if you want to get into Cambridge as we did. The park and ride is only a few minutes away and excellent. But it did seem very impersonal that there was no one around during the day to go to if there was any problem. Our bed was made but the bathroom wasn't touched so no clean towels, floor mat or the sink cleaned which is what we'd expect from a hotel. The breakfast was very good, plenty of choice for everything. The lady in charge was lovely, very friendly and helpful. We'd certainly stay at The Rectory Farm if we were in that area again and would recommend it.

Pleasing manor-house style property. Lovely and extensive grounds. The room (a suite) was large and well-appointed, with triple aspect views over carpark to the front and gardens to side and rear. When you book you are warned no soaps provided, so we brought our own, as well as towels and pillow, for our own comfort. Didn't eat at hotel so cannot comment. Hosts - interesting.
