kitchen

Stayed for 3 nights recently.
The Hotel, service, food all excellent and staff very friendly and  helpful.
Rooms are lovely.
The staff couldn't do enough for me.
A special mention  and thank you to Zoltan the Manager who kept the kitchen open a little longer one night, when my Husband had been driving for 5 hours to stay with me.
I have booked a return stay already.
Many Thanks again.

3 Night Stay

Excellent service! Plenty of gluten free options! Couldn’t tell the pudding was gluten free, had to ask to check, not used to having such beautiful food. Staff absolutely lovely and welcoming. Would definitely come again. They take pride in the work place and it shows. 

Don’t miss the opportunity 

This was a lovely stop in all ways.
I had a bit of apprehension staying above a pub.
The place was clean and super quiet. 
Bedding was crisp. All in all a delight.
Only negative was the room air unit was a tad wimpy but we opened the window after closing the blinds and the room was very nice.
Food at the pub was amazing. Would do it again

Very nice indeed

We had booked for two nights, we ate out the first night as we went into Cambridge for a gig. Quite accommodating, the lady ordered us a taxi, as we had had a nightmare journey down and did not want to drive into Cambridge, just cutting it fine for the restaurant we had booked!

I must admit I agree with other reviewers, we had Erasmus and it was very tired in places. The window sill and frame had peeling paint, the carpet was quite grubby in places and again the larger shower head did not work. So had not been fixed from when it was last reported. It had a light switch that did not control anything, so we had to get to the bedside light in the evenings!
I really would not call any of this LUXURY!!! 

The food was quite nice the one evening we ate there, however, I ordered the veggie breakfast and I was presented with a meaty one! I got my veggie one eventually, however, whisked away again as there were no eggs on it! It was quite nice once I got it!
When we were sat in the bar area, we overheard a member of staff  asking which room another couple were in and she said to them "is it Erasmus" and they said yes!!! We called her over and told her we were in Erasmus, she said she would sort it out, however, I do think we have been charged for somethings on our bill that we did not have!
All-in-all, I do not think we would consider staying here again if we were in the area for anything else. The staff do require a wee bit of finesse, training and the room needs work done on it to live up to it being classed as LUXURY or the description changed! 

Quite disappointed overall.

Our second stay in recent months, with the same excellent service and experience. Our room was immaculate, well equipped and comfortable, and we felt nothing was too much trouble. Food was good, and despite being very busy on a Friday night, we were well looked after.

Excellent service, great rooms and good food 

We stayed here for three nights at the end of June while we visited Cambridge, Duxford and Fowlmere. The hotel was very convenient and comfortable, but the most amazing aspect was the quality of the food. All the meals we had were excellent and the seafood specials were extraordinary. My wife thought the Coley she ate was the best she'd had since childhood.
My one complaint is that the shower in our room was tiny, but the water was hot and plentiful and the room itself was very comfortable.
The staff, Barbora and Nikos particularly, were very friendly - not merely polite. Several guests we spoke with have stayed here many times and we'll be sure to become repeat customers as well.

Great food and friendly staff

Booked to stay at this pub so we could visit Cambridge the next day . Rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable with a good shower . 
We chose to have a meal there on the Sunday evening, latest bookable table is 6pm and the menu offered is different due to Sunday roasts . Service was very slow and we waited over 30 mins initially for our drinks to arrive. The sea bass choice on the specials board had run out once ordered so we chose the pork belly roast dinner and beef bourguignon pie of the day. The food was  reheated and tired. Obviously it was the end of their day but for £18 per main course it was poor quality and disappointing. 
Breakfast was OK certainly nothing special and staff had to be asked to top up items in the buffet choices. Also some other residents had to reorder food as their choices had been lost ( over 40 min wait) . 
Perhaps there are staffing issues that need addressing? They were friendly enough and apologetic about delays and service. 
Certainly it was a good base to visit Cambridge from using the nearby Newmarket park and ride.

Good base for visiting Cambridge.

Very clean room with good facilities in an excellent location for Anglesea Abbey and Wicken Fen. Also convenient for both Ely and Cambridge. Food is rather expensive for the quality. Good parking and friendly staff.

Short break to visit National Trust properties

We looked for a reasonably priced set menu. We were very impressed with the service and quality of food for the price. We will definitely go back again. The staff we so nice looking after the elderly customers with needs. 
My wife had a pudding but I was too full up but next time will have the cheese.

Lunch date with the wife

My partner and myself went for Sunday lunch and were very disappointed with the service, the tiny portions of vegetables and meat. My partner had the beef which the 3 slices were cut very thinly. I had the chicken which wouldn’t have been half a breast. The food was only just hot enough. We would of asked for it to be warmer but didn’t want it microwaved (if they do this).
The food was cooked nicely.
Nobody came to ask if the food was ok.

Just to say…. Why do restaurants always put a table for 2 in the most ridiculous places!!!  A table of 4 or more are put in the corner, that’s were the table of 2 should be put!!!
