Though it seemed odd to have self check in and no staff seen on the property, it actually felt like we had the place to ourselves! The property is beautiful, plenty of area to walk. The local pub was a longer walk than expected, map it out first. The room was just the right size and our view of the gardens was amazing. We would absolutely stay again!

Comfortable base for Cambridge
Clean comfortable room. I wanted to check in an hour early and they wanted £30 for the privilege so had to wait to 3pm. Woken at 7.15 by noisy delivery. Other that that the stay was fine. They have got rid of the silly £2 parking charge which is good. 10 minute walk to the Park and Ride bus if you don't take your car into Cambridge.

An unusual check in experience - we literally met no staff at all during our stay. A lovely place, quiet despite it's close proximity to the main road and roundabout. Sadly the Italian family next door felt this needed a little spicing up and decided to have a full blown and loud conversation outside our window at 7am!! Room was clean and comfortable if not a little small. There are no toiletries in this place which I failed to read in the information so other than a small bar of soap, there was nothing to use at all and nowhere to obtain it from. It's clearly written in their documentation as is the clear instruction on check in process. The grounds are vast and well maintained, but breakfast is offsite and a drive away - which essentially meant we didn't have breakfast. The whole place is very easy commute into Cambridge, with a short Uber ride away if you're looking to stay when visiting your kids at university. Would definitely book again and recommend this - but would take food and drink/toiletries as you are quite literally in the middle of farm/grassland with walks and serenity all around you.

Lovely hotel and great rooms. Found the online check in and app process stressful and confusing. We enjoyed our stay but for the price would expect better service. Would stay again if the price was lower.

Very clean. All facilities available. The nearest pub is a 15 minute walk along a footpath but it's well trodden so no problem. The room is spacious too. Über taxis take minutes to arrive and cost a few pounds into the city center.Overall we fully recommend it.

Avoid at all costs!
As others have found, while it's a nice looking place, the management make this truely a nightmare location. We arrived late in the evening to a dirty room and called to see if a resolution was possible. They just leave the keys sitting outside and anyone could just walk up. A man came out and said it didn't look like it had been cleaned and would take us to another room. Okay, fine. Next day the charged us for an additional room saying we had lied and must have gone in earlier and used the room then requested another one at 1130pm at night. What nonsense!!! I called to speak to the manager. A man named Roger (I believe was the same man) refused to say if it was him or let me speak to anyone else. Was very very rude and intentionally difficult, even before I said what it was about. Not that he would listen to reason anyway. Attempted to goad me to anger and constantly intrupt me. Called us liers and said he believes it was clean and the only explanation was we went in, messed it up, and then asked for a new room. He suggested we moved, not us. None of it makes sense. They will then just stop responding, as others have had happen. In the end I lost patience trying and will seek alternative avenues to recover funds. DO NOT STAY WITH THEM. Dishonest and despicable.
