Beautiful stay again
Kirsty, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean rooms, friendly staff, quiet and beautiful area. Showers are good with good pressure in the water.
Craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perhaps the best place i have ever stayed at, relatively clean, very cosy, and conveniently within walking/ bus distance from Cambridge. What i would have liked to be different: -parking is 5 pounds/ day, which may not seem much, but there was no mention other than 'available on the premises'. -heating was centrally managed- at times too hot and others almost too cold.
Cristian, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful welcome. Staff made it. Signposted well. Funny reception desk and makeshift bar next to it but added to the charm. Room was lovely and bed so very very comfortable.
We weren’t in the main house because we bought our dog but the chalets were just as gorgeous.
Out the back of our room.
Lovely drive, well lit. Beautiful!
Fire in reception.

Room was clean, bed was huge. Perfect stay with a dog as the door opened up onto the grass. The fields for dog walking were amazing and went on and on. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again.
Johanna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean. Warm room, welcoming and helpful staff, good shower pressure on the top floor. Coffee and tea in the room. Close to park&drive, 3 bus options to the center. Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Ami, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasing manor-house style property. Lovely and extensive grounds. The room (a suite) was large and well-appointed, with triple aspect views over carpark to the front and gardens to side and rear. When you book you are warned no soaps provided, so we brought our own, as well as towels and pillow, for our own comfort. Didn't eat at hotel so cannot comment. Hosts - interesting.
Graham, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was very nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. It's in a very good position if you want to get into Cambridge as we did. The park and ride is only a few minutes away and excellent. But it did seem very impersonal that there was no one around during the day to go to if there was any problem. Our bed was made but the bathroom wasn't touched so no clean towels, floor mat or the sink cleaned which is what we'd expect from a hotel. The breakfast was very good, plenty of choice for everything. The lady in charge was lovely, very friendly and helpful. We'd certainly stay at The Rectory Farm if we were in that area again and would recommend it.

Quilt filling had moved into clumps so no filling in places which along with the heating not working on the firdt night meant we were cold in bed. The first room we were offered room 3 had a knackered mattress.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and spacious but decor was looking a little tired. The hotel and grounds were beautiful. Breakfast was well cooked with plenty of choice but luke warm, which is why we havent put excellent, £16 pp seems a little excessive. Lovely hotel, pleasant staff but room for improvement. Shame you had to pay £5 parking fee too.
