We arrived more or less on time and a member of staff was on hand to greet us and show us to the room. The room was small but functional and  everything seemed at first glance to be in order. She gave us the keys and informed us that the "continental breakfast" would be eaten in our room and consist of: instant coffee, a box each of ready to eat cereal, to be eaten out of the box, a cereal bar and what was in the fridge (a yogurt each, 1 Panne Chocolat and 1 Croissant each and some orange drink. She then pointed us to a restaurant (the does not serve food) and left us to it. We tried to use the WiFi but could only occasionally find it and had to go back to bar to get a password but were still unable to login. In the end we gave up. We also found there was only a single coat hanger.

The following morning breakfast was very poor. We also discovered that there was butter for the croissants but no knife. 

When we returned in the evening, the fridge had been restocked but the dirty breakfast things had not been removed and the room had not been cleaned (there were still crumbs from breakfast on the table and the bed had not been made). I went to the bar and obtained fresh breakfast things and complained. The lady at the bar (not the one who originally greeted us) apologised and said she would let manager know. The following morning we had the same dismal breakfast (minus cereal bars). There was no one around when left and no apology from the manager, so I can only assume they didn't care.

Budget priced but I cannot recommend it - VERY POOR

We stayed in the outside barn conversion. Room was comfortable, clean and modern. Perfect for our one night stop over to go to a concert at Audley End House. New landlady who had only been there 3 weeks was very welcoming. Breakfast in the morning plentiful and well cooked. Would recommend!

Nice Pub B&B

Had a room in an annex to the pub. Everything was fine - room, bed, shower - no problem at all for one night. Breakfast, in the pub, was good, parking easy, and the landlord was friendly and efficient. High point was the beer - a nice pint at a good price.

At the price, I would have no hesitation in stopping there again.

Good one night stopover

Room was spacious, clean and well equipped.  Ben the manager was very friendly and helpful and made a great landlord in the pub. Had a cooked breakfast in the morning which set us up for the day. Great value for money in this area, and will definitely stay again. Please ignore the older reviews as it’s under new management and refurbished.

Clean, friendly and great value.

We stayed overnight as a family. The staff were great and could not do enough for you, the rooms were clean and spacious and the breakfast was very good. The rooms have been given a makeover and are now clean and airy and the bathrooms are in good order. After seeing the past reviews from 2019 do not be put off as it has changed completely and i would definitely stay again.

Great Overnight

If you are looking for a very local place to stay with an old local pub. This is the place. No frills,  comfortable bed and pillow. Looking forward to come back when this place got a face lift which will happen soon. Robbie thanks for the full English and good luck with the restorations. Lovely banter with the locals.  A true hidden gem.

Thanks Robbie! Great little gem.

We booked in for two nights B&B.  The room was a disappointment, but we told ourselves it was cheap and only a few miles from Cambridge.    Notable for their absence were bedside lights, which meant you had to scramble around in the dark trying to find the light switch.  Also it could have done with a new blind instead of the old stained one, and some proper curtains on the side window instead of old nets.  There was no ventilation in the bathroom and the hanging rail for clothes was behind the TV.

On the plus side,the bed was comfortable, the TV worked and the water was hot.  There was a plentiful supply of tea, coffee and milk. The breakfast was good and the  staff were friendly and very accommodating, allowing us (in fact encouraging us) to eat our take-away food in the dining room and even providing us with plates and cutlery.  For this alone, we would return again.

Frayed around the edges but a good price for close to Cambridge and very welcoming.

Grossly overpriced for a 1* shoddy, unkept, mish mash room. When we booked we apparently had the last 2 rooms !!!! On arrival it was ONLY us staying!! The one member of staff we saw was helpful and pleasant but this still made our stay a bad memory!

Avoid at all cost!

Dirty carpets. Stoled hangers ? Noisy place, people keep talking late the night because of the pub outside. No reception desk, no polite people, dirty bathroom. Toilet and shower don’t work well. We can feel the bed springs in the back when you turn yourself during the night. Value your health, keep looking for better. 

Did someone was murdered in the room ?

Shocking wasn’t the word .. it should be report to environmental health..& closed down. Carpets were crawling with statins all over. the bed furniture out of a skip.. beds didn’t even mattress covers on them wouldn’t have let my dog sleep there .. very aggressive rude staff when I ask for full refund.. 
be warned don’t book 😵
