Pleasant location handy for Ely and Cambridge.
Beautifully presented, in country cottage/farmhouse style.
Friendly and helpful host, up for a laugh.
Fabulous breakfast, a real treat.
Keenly priced, you'd pay the same for a Travelodge without breakfast.
Great value and pleasant, comfortable stay.

Best B&B

If you want to stay in a place nestled in the quiet of the countryside but a few minutes drive from the center of Cambridge, this B&B is really for you.
The rooms are silent and comfortable, the breakfast really good, with many local products.
A special mention for the courtesy and friendliness of the owner.

A very good stay near Cambridge

I booked The Brambles after reading all the great reviews, and the room and bathroom were very pleasant and clean. Breakfast was good although by the second morning I was very concerned about gluten cross-contamination in the kitchen. I am a coeliac and required gluten free bread but the regular toaster was used and we watched the GF bread get sliced on the bread board just used for normal toast. We also saw my partner's toast get dropped on the floor of the kitchen, picked up and put back in the toast rack before being served. I was also very disappointed when the cleaner was trying to access my room to clean during the middle of my stay while I was getting ready for a wedding, and then was told by the proprietor Bob I should have left that morning at 10am, despite our booking also being for that night. During this, the door was opened into the room on two occasions while I was not fully dressed, despite both Bob and the cleaner being aware I was still in the room. We both felt very uncomfortable after that and were concerned about privacy. The Brambles was a convenient place to stay but I would not recommend it.

Poor allergen awareness and privacy concerns

Absolutely lovely stay at The Brambles whilst visiting Cambridge and Ely.  Bob, the owner, was extremely hospitable and nothing was too much trouble.  Delicious, and filling, breakfast with plenty of choice.   Our rooms were lovely, very clean with brilliant power showers!   Toweling robes provided, as well as a plentiful refreshments tray.  Bob gave us some good advice on local places to eat, and on the Park & Ride for Cambridge.  Highly recommended and we hope to return some time.

Wonderful 2 night stay at The Brambles - highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay at the Brambles with a yummy breakfast 🍳 
We had a warm welcome and some advice for dinner.

Breakfast was lovely with a nice chat with Bob who recommended a trip to Lys which was lovely 😊 

We had room 2 although compact it had everything we needed and a lovely comfortable bed 🛌 

Would recommend and are thinking of returning to one of the studios 😊

Visit to the races with an overnight stay at the Brambles 

This place is amazing! Beautiful, super clean and super comfy! Good breakfast and lovely staff. It is easy to find, to contact and It feels like home... Its is extremely clean, with amazing bed and super shower.

Amazing Place!!!!!! Amazing Staff!!!!!

This B&B was ok . The room was a bit on the small side as was the bathroom and it did need some maintenance. To get to Cambridge you can drive but it is not recommend as parking is limited and expensive. We got the park and ride which was 3 miles from the B&B which is the best way to get to Cambridge.

Ok B&B 

Bob was a very helpful host.The B & B is a little way from the nearest bus service and he ran us to the park and ride.The room was comfortable and clean and had little extras that some places lack such as bath robes, an iron, plenty of power points and mirrors including a shaving one.The shower was very good and the bed was comfortable. The only thing that I would agree with other reviewers on would be the need for some blackout linings for the curtains-albeit they were certainly not flimsy as described elsewhere. The breakfast was excellent. I had fresh fruit, yogurt, a warm croissant and a full english which really set me up for the day! The rate paid represented good value for Cambridge in August. We hope that we will return.

Excellent night's stay and lovely breakfast.

Very unwelcoming reception when we arrived. Very small room, with plenty of cobb webbs  everywhere. In serious need of some redecorating, and a very good clean. The bed was the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in. Room was seriously warm and no fan on offer. 
Breakfast was just as unwelcoming. The same lady cooking breakfast that checked us in. Not even a good morning! Whilst cooking breakfast was constantly touching and pulling her very long  hair out of the way. ( surely this should of at least been tied up) So certainly wasn’t surprised when I found a lovely long hair in my breakfast. When we went to leave we said thank you, and hardly even acknowledged us. Very expensive for a bed for the night.
