    The private bathrooms in the double rooms boast a clean, modern design that makes getting ready a breeze. With the unique charm present in the decor, you won't find sterile walls here. the character brings a homey feel that's tough to beat.

    The rooms can get a bit hot, even with the fan provided. a small fridge would really elevate the experience—cold drinks would be nice instead of those little cartons of skimmed milk. Breakfast hits the mark but could benefit from some fresh juice, yogurt, or croissants to round it out. while the pillows didn't bother me, my partner was less impressed, so comfort might be a personal gamble here.

    enjoyable walks near delish food and interesting museums

    I stayed in a lovely room with White Company toiletries and homemade cookies, making my visit feel extra special while I enjoyed the nearby IWM Duxford and St Mary's Church with delightful strolls, perfect for a weekend getaway. Single travelers will find it comforting with a communal fridge stocked with fresh milk, ice-cold drinks, and welcoming staff in a cozy pub just steps away.

    amazing food
    hiking trails
    kayaking spots
    patchy wifi

    Had a fantastic time with friends! We loved exploring the hiking trails and the nearby kayaking spots. The food was amazing, especially the Eton mess, and the breakfasts hit the spot. Just a heads up, our room's wifi was a bit patchy at times, but it didn’t really bother us. Totally recommend staying here!

    The wifi could be a bit patchy at times, though it didn’t really hurt our stay.

    Charming Atmosphere with Room for Improvement

    The warm ambiance of the building made for a cozy stay. Enjoyed a lovely dessert after an uninspiring main course. The staff could use more training for better service. Heads up for solo travelers, the room can get hot! Adjust the thermostat proactively before settling in.

    Stunning decor and great dining experience

    I stayed for 1 night in a Superior Double Room and was truly impressed by the stunning decor featuring high-quality furnishings and luxurious bathroom finishes. The location was ideal, nestled in a charming village with easy access to nearby attractions. Dinner was exceptional, with generous portions and creative cocktails that were hard to resist. a small fridge in the room would have added to the convenience of my stay.

    clean room
    high quality tea

    Solo traveler, not without its quirks.

    The room was clean and had those fancy "White Company" toiletries which felt rather indulgent. I enjoyed some homemade cookies and quality teas that were a nice touch after a long day.

    It wasn't inexpensive but still reasonable for what you got.

    fab food
    patchy wifi

    Had a fab two-night stay in a delightful room! The food was to die for. that Eton mess was a masterpiece. The atmosphere was just lovely, perfect for a cozy getaway.

    Plus, the parking resembled a post-apocalyptic scene.
