Lovely place to stay, room was modern and very clean. Car parking included and restaurant within the main building.The only thing missing is breakfast! This has been my favourite place to stay when visiting Cambridge as it’s only a 15 minute commute to get into the city. Highly recommend!

Pub rooms close to Cambridge

The greeting on arrival was rather miserable. Certainly not warm. The room was quite small and a bit stuffy , with no window view. It was clean and the bed firm and comfortable, but was quite basic and a little tired. It also had clothes moths, so when we got home we emptied our bags outside and shook every item vigorously (we had a couple in the bags). The pub was quite nice, staff and food were excellent. The set Indian meal was superb, as was the sea bass. I'd say that value for money was average given the comments above and the lack of a breakfast.

The bed was two singles pushed together and one was soft the other hard. There was no breakfast…I’ve never stayed at a pub before that didn’t offer breakfast. There was a big green light on by the door which illuminated the room when you turned the lights off. The radiator made an electrical buzzing noise which kept waking me up…rhe staff were nice at least!

Comfortable stay

Lovely, cosy country-style "gastro-pub" with 4 rooms - converted stables across the car park from the restaurant. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, and furnished to a very high standard. Spotlessly clean. Although the room was a little small it was perfectly adequate for a night stopover whilst visiting cambridge. We used the park and ride which was really convenient. Milton was a sleepy friendly little residential village with some nice looking pubs and large tesco a mile away. We ate in the restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious, beautiful traditional decor and a warm welcome. Breakfast was not available. My only quarm was that i had to drink instant coffee in the morning - i think for full hospitality there should be a cafetierre in the room and some ground coffee especially as there was no breakfast i wouldve liked to have started the day with a decent coffee. I would never drink nescafe at home so at £100 a night i would like a proper coffee, i would say this would only cost the business 50p per person for the coffee max and a fiver for a cafetteiere for each of the 4 rooms. Id say as well the brewers inn looks better in real life than the pictures online. Thanks for having us.

No breakfast and disappointing open hours

Despite the hotel description stating breakfast available for a surcharge, this was not the case. On arrival we advised the host that we wanted breakfast on both mornings of our Aug bank holiday weekend. He stated reluctantly that if we really needed it he could provide a continental option, but the pub is closed in the mornings untill 11am so no staff are available. This was also evident when checking out when keys had to be left in a key box outside the closed pub by 11am. The pub closed at 8pm on the Sunday evening so we couldn't spend the evening there. We dined elswhere as the online menu did not suit us but we later saw the menu in the pub was better. If the online version was up to date the pub would probably have benefitted from our custom. Room was clean and comfortable but very dark with the only natural light from a single vertical glass panel about 10 inches wide running down the side of the door. Pub location was very good, closevto Milton/Cambridge park and ride.

Quiet, clean, friendly & comfortable

Friendly village pub with rooms which were converted outbuildings across a small car park. Plenty of outside seating. Good choice of draught beers etc. Menu looked good but we had eaten earlier so didn't visit restaurant area. Staff very friendly & couldn't do more. Sunday eve sun made outside area popular & pub welcomed dogs inside

Excellent stay. There are 4 x ex stables which have been converted into individual chalet type accommodation. Comfortable. Medium sized fridge in room. No noise from adjoining accommodation. Free parking. Had an excellent meal in the restaurant. Bar area separate from restaurant. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are converted stables, which are very quaint. The room had everything you needed including a mini fridge. The pillows were amazing, had a good nights sleep. The only negative is that the heating was not on when I arrived, so the room was very cold. Ate in the restaurant and by the time I returned it was warm
