Overall, a very positive experience.
This is a traditional inn of some antiquity, apparently refurbished and extended by a hotel company. The location was perfect for my intended purposes - a sports event in the village and a visit to the famous Duxford airfield and museum. There was a good atmosphere throughout the stay. The staff were pleasant and helpful, even after I accidentally took the headboard from my bed right off the wall, in the msitaken belief that it was attached to the bed. The food was excellent. It was not just that the "traditional hotel breakfast" was offered. I had a magnificent steak for dinner on one of the three nights I stayed. I wanted to have dinner more than once but, on the Sunday, I found everything closed at [from memory] 7pm . I was told that this is normal for the district, but I can't help thinking that the location is thereby losing out on potential profit. My room was comfortable, but small, even for a single room. This was OK for the three nights I stayed, but would become irksome for anyone wanting an extended stay. The bathroom was clean, modern, but tiny. There was no shelf on which to park toiletries and, on reflection, I couldn't see where there might have been room to erect one. The shower was a tight squeeze and the shower head is non-dirigble. This is fine for a day, or a few days, but an extended stay might be different.

Comfortable stay with good food
Old with character. Comfortable. Helpful, friendly staff. Good power shower. Local to relatives. The 3 of us enjoyed dinner here and the menu covered all our tastes. Good quality full English breakfast

Rustig.
Het hotel is voorzien van een restaurant waar we Boeuf Stroganoff konden eten, met rijst. Er was ook ontbijt 's ochtends, maar dat was niet heel erg luxe. Het gebouw is 500 jaar oud en sfeervol gelegen tussen de snelweg en de spoorweg, waar overigens niks van te horen was.
Het gebouw ligt direct tegenover het treinstation. Alleen jammer dat de trein niet reed en we vervangend busvervoer hadden. Het ligt niet heel dicht bij Cambridge, maar dat wisten we natuurlijk ook bij het boeken. En uiteindelijk hebben we Cambridge toch wel kunnen zien.

We enjoyed the historical aspects of the property. The staff were friendly.
Unfortunately there were issues on arrival as all staff had gone home. The cooked breakfast was stone cold. The manager did turn the food heater up when informed. We understand that the current management has only recently taken over. We hope that given time these teething issues will be sorted.

Chaotic system with no professionalism. £100 plus per night extortionate -5 star-never!
Staff were pleasant but with no real training or management present.
No instructions re meal times given or in the room. Only one cup and one plastic beaker in double room. Shower tray broken and looked dirty. Fire alarm went off- left the room but no staff in sight. Breakfast looked congealed and had been cooked hours before. When we left and wanted to pay woman behind the bar couldn't find our details or work the pay machine. No-one there to help her. Said the manager would phone us but he / she didn't.
