● Center: 3 km

Multiple guests highlight the cleanliness and quiet of the rooms with some noting wonderful garden views. Staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating, including personalized service such as creating a private family suite. Good value for the price with several guests recommending the location for easy access to Cambridge via Park and Ride. Positive comments on the peaceful environment and large property grounds, including a heated pool and outdoor amenities like a tree swing. The continental breakfast, though extra, was described as delicious and sufficient by some guests. Several guests experienced poor WiFi and mobile phone signal strength during their stay. Some complaints mention thin walls in chalet accommodations causing noise disturbances from neighbors. Breakfast is not included in the room rate and charged additionally, which disappointed some guests expecting it as part of the booking.

No cancellation, bad review
10.10.2024 Guest
The room is clean and hygienic. It is 3-4 kilometers away from the center of Cambridge. It can be reached by bus and it takes about 50 minutes to walk. The environment is good. The biggest problem is that the mobile phone signal is not good, especially the WiFi. Most of the time the signal is very poor or almost non-existent. Only one night the signal was OK

The environment is beautiful, the room facilities are average, but compared to the price it is still worth it

Great place, very clean and close to park and ride to get into Cambridge. 100% would stay here again, definitely recommend
22.03.2023 STUBON
Very quiet place which offers lodgings, chalets, and houses. Also very close to Park-n-Ride to Cambridge.

We went to Cotton Garden and Madingley Hall of Cambridge Univ. for lunch, and full English breakfasts. Both are very nice<
