A great B&B to stay at.

Great B&B to stay at. USB sockets in the bedside lamps; tea and coffee in the room; coffee machine, fridge and microwave in the guest lounge; plenty of choice for breakfast; a fan in the room was most welcome; shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided as well as lovely towels and face cloths.

We decided at the last minute to break our journey on a bank-holiday weekend, from West Midlands to the East End of London and booked 'The Old School House Rooms' on chance and we were so pleased that we found them. It would be difficult to find fault with any aspect of the stay particularly for the price. Thoroughly recommend

The standard all B&B should be measured against

This is a gem of a B&B. We were contacted by Faye before we arrived with the instructions on how access the property which were easy to carry out. The property was warm & welcoming which was great as it was a very cold outside. The room & ensuite bathroom were tidy & clean. We had a King bed which was luxurious and comfy. There were tea & coffee making facilities in the room which included biscuits, yummy!! Cooked breakfast is chosen in advance on a form & the items to choose from are substsntial. There is also porridge, muesli & fruit. The form needs to be returned to the table in the entrance by 8pm. We were visiting family in Waterbeach & the location of the property was 5 minutes away. There is a lounge which is a conservatory. It has a ceiling fan, widescreen TV, coffee/tea pod machine, dinnerware (plates, utensils, wine glasses). Cooked breakfast is served once you sit down at your table in the breakfast room. You can make toast from several types of bread, croissant, tea, coffee, 3 types of juice, yoghurt, jams, Marmite along with several other items. The cooked breakfast arrived within 10 minutes freshly made & brought to our table. It was tasty & items were locally sourced rather than from a supermarket. Faye is a darling who treated us so well. She reflects the atmosphere of the property, comfy, immaculatestylish but comfy. Faye even went out her way to text us to confirm our choices for breakfast when we completely forgot. Will stay again for sure.
