The bedrooms are very comfortable. The bed very nice. A shelf in the bathroom would be useful. I would prefer different towels as I expressed while I was there. The breakfast room is charming and very nice to use. We also had a nice cooked breakfast. The cooking was very good first night not so good subsequent nights. Because I can't eat certain things my choice is limited. An expanded menu of tried and tested dishes might be better instead of daily specials that are not thought through. The staff were lovely and very accommodating.

Perfect stay, also for visiting Cambridge

Nice place to stay for a couple of days. Friendly hosts. The food is said to be very good, but we didt get the change to experience it ourselves. We took the guided bus to Cambridge, leaving the car at the nearby P+R. In the 2nd- front- room the traffic noise was quite loud although there were not that many cars passing at night.

Cozy. Beds narrow and felt Old and in need of replacement. Noise from Road in the room we were in. Expect noise from bar downstairs untill it close (not late in our case). Very cozy communal kitchen for breakfast especially if you are the only ones staying.

The whole checkin experience was excellent from the owners of this great pub/restaurant/guesthouse despite them not having a clue that i was staying due to Expedia not informing them of my arrival. However they worked around this, and made me feel welcome and even upgraded me to a suite, I did have to pay direct, but assured a refund if the Expedia payment is also taken

Reasonable priced great stay near Cambridge

Great little place to stay, with a shared kitchen including a double doored balcony. Very reasonable price per night too. The breakfast is "self service continental", using the food that is in the kitchen. There is no Aircon, and it was the hottest day of the year so far. There are 3 rooms in total. I was in the front one near to the road. There was quite a lot of road noise when I arrived, especially with the windows open, but it was not anywhere as noisy as I was expecting at night. The pub downstairs is a gastro pub, with a decent if slightly eccentric (imho) menu, and a decent selection of drinks.

A very pleasant stay

Upon an early arrive I was politely greeted at the bar, and told that they would check to see if my room was ready, which it was. I was booked in for one night, on a friday, in mid July +28°C. I had the front room by the main road and had to keep the windows open and the two supplied fans switch on all night, which others may find noisy but I slept pretty well. The place was very clean but a bit cramped for a twin room with an en-suite shower room with very good water pressure. I ate in the restaurant and the food was very good. The beer garden is very stylish and a huge suntrap, Shades are provided.

Willingham stay

I picked the Porterhouse due to its location for work the next day. Check in was fine and to have a little kitchen on hand was a lovely touch and help yourself to what you might like if you wanted to use it (I only used the kettle to make a drink) The wifi was not working at all during my stay which was really annoying as I needed it for work and the french doors in the kitchen kept blowing open and the heating would not come on so it was cold. It is right on the side of the road by traffic lights so for me personally the road noise was too much and the lack of internet and being cold meant I didn't enjoy my stay there as much as I could have. The place is clean, the kitchen great and there is pub food which I didn't try, and if you are used to road noise it could be great for others, just not right for me I'm afraid.
