Top Bassingbourn Hotel Reviews

Novotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Hotel is lovely but starting to look dated with damaged wood work and peeling paint. I had the unfortunate experience as I was rudely woken in the early hours by extremely loud music ( I'm hard of hearing)"

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"The staff were very helpful and super friendly. The hotel looks modern and has a great vibe around the reception and bar but it's let down by the restaurant. We found the food a bit lacklustre, especially given the price (and the service charge!). The rooms are showing their age, although comfortable there are some finer details that can't be improved on without a bit of refurbishment. The biggest thing for us though was the inefficiency of the air conditioning (I suspect it wasn't working at all), we spent a very warm and stuffy night in the room as we felt it was too late to inform reception and we were getting up very early for a flight. Would I stay again? Yes, but have food as a bar snack and remove the service charge and make sure that the air conditioning is working."

Rectory Farm

8/10 Good

"There are no useful amenities and the ones advertised aren’t really: the bar is a desk that never seems to be open no draft beer etc. the swimming pool was locked up with a comdnation lock that we were not given the code to on arrival and the nearest pub is 30 minutes away over fields however it was a very nice pub to eat & drink. When we arrived there was no one there and the door to the reception was not opened until 16:00 on the dot by the receptionist who was in there all along."

Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot fault the staff at this place. They were all really lovely and always willing to help. The breakfast is decent and ample parking on site. The rooms are a good size and very clean. We really appreciated that there was already a fan in the room alongside the AC - needed in the heatwave."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Bassingbourn is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

For budget-conscious travellers looking for cheap hotels in Bassingbourn, the village itself, particularly around the High Street and its immediate vicinity, offers the most practical and affordable options. While Bassingbourn is a compact village, its accommodation tends to be more modest and therefore cheaper than staying in larger nearby towns.

Solo travellers will find that the village's guesthouses and smaller inns often provide rooms at more attractive prices. These establishments frequently include breakfast, adding to the overall value. The central location means easy access to local amenities like shops and pubs, and for those without a car, public transport links to larger towns like Royston are readily available.

Families might consider staying slightly outside the main village centre, perhaps in a guesthouse that offers family rooms or self-catering options, which can be more economical than multiple hotel rooms.

How much does a budget hotel in Bassingbourn cost?

Budget hotel prices in Bassingbourn vary, but you can find a great deal from £38 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates. Typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.

When is the most affordable time to visit Bassingbourn?

The most affordable time to visit Bassingbourn is typically during the off-peak seasons, specifically late autumn and winter, excluding the Christmas and New Year periods. During these months, from November to February, you'll generally find lower prices for accommodation and potentially fewer crowds, making it ideal for a tranquil and budget-friendly getaway.

Solo travellers seeking a peaceful escape will find Bassingbourn particularly appealing during these times. The village and surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside offer lovely, quiet walks, and local pubs often have a cosy atmosphere great for unwinding without the summer rush. While some attractions might have reduced hours, the core charm of the village remains, and you can often enjoy sites like the Bassingbourn Cum Kneesworth War Memorial or the historic parish church without the usual crowds.

For couples looking for a romantic and affordable break, visiting outside of peak season means more competitive rates on charming bed and breakfasts or local guesthouses. You can enjoy the natural beauty of the area, perhaps taking a stroll along the River Cam, and then warm up in a traditional English pub, all while keeping a close eye on your budget.

What free activities should we do in Bassingbourn?

While Bassingbourn itself is a small village without an abundance of dedicated free attractions, its charm lies in its rural setting and proximity to natural beauty, offering several cost-free activities for solo travellers.

You can spend a pleasant afternoon simply exploring the village on foot, admiring the historic architecture, and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The parish church, St. Peter and St. Paul's, is a beautiful example of local heritage and is generally open for visitors to appreciate its interior and grounds without charge. A leisurely walk along the local footpaths and public rights of way will allow you to experience the quintessential English countryside, often leading to lovely views of fields and farmland.

For those interested in history, a visit to the Bassingbourn War Memorial and the former RAF Bassingbourn site can be a poignant and reflective experience. While the airfield is no longer active, the remaining structures and memorials offer a free glimpse into its significant role during World War II, particularly for solo travellers who enjoy quiet contemplation.

Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Bassingbourn for you.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Bassingbourn as a package?
