Quaint place, needs a bit of TLC though. The staff were very friendly and attentive and we appreciated the short cancellation period during these turbulent times. Everything was clean but the rooms could definitely do with some freshening up.

Receptionist was helpful and swopped our room for a groundfloor accessible room. Room was a bit dated, but clean and tidy. There is an onsite Chinese restaurant, we had prebooked elsewhere, but it looked (& smelt) good. Very handy for Addenbrookes & good parking.

A nice relaxing stay and welcome from the moment I stepped into the hotel. Food was good and 20% off food an unexpected bonus!

Room was freezing on arrival though warmed up relatively quickly. Antiquated plumbing made noise throughout the night. Still a cheap place to get your head down for a night
