"It’s comfortable and convenient "

"We (Mum, Dad, 15 & 8 year old) from Cornwall stayed for 3 nights. We wanted somewhere near Cambridge as my eldest is there at Uni. The location was spot on, only 30 minutes drive to the centre of Cambridge and 3 miles from St Ives where there were plenty of places for fuel, shopping and eating. The accommodation was perfect for us. The only slight thing was the sofa bed was a little less comfortable for the eldest child. But everything was clean, tidy and well equipped for us on arrival. We arrived just after reception closed and we had received a welcome text with our room number and keysafe code. The was a folder in the room with all the necessary information for our stay, very helpful! The most amazing part is the setting. A beautiful courtyard outside and free entry to the amazing Raptor Foundation literally next door! We were all excited the first morning to have a view of the 2 meerkats from our window! The Raptor centre is simply incredible: we all learnt so much and the staff and volunteers were so passionate and knowledgeable! And super friendly and helpful too! I simply can't praise them highly enough. The birds are all amazing and have proper characters and there are several flying sessions each day. A small reptile house as well and a great educational room. The lunch available in the onsite restaurant was very reasonable and extremely tasty. There is a playground for the smaller kids and a gift shop with a beautiful array of souvenirs. We will definitely be back!"

"Quiet room, comfortable bed, speedy responses from reception, Molton Brown products. Beautifully tended grounds making all views enjoyable. Squires restaurant very good - had the steak & Malaysian curry - can recommend both "

"Beautiful old building which has had good levels of investment into making it a fine hotel. Very well located in the centre of town but with plenty of nearby parking. Well appointed, if small, rooms, attentive and welcoming staff although needed more staff at breakfast as many guests had to wait too long to be seated. Breakfast was excellent though, lots of choice and good quality."

"Perfect, even upgraded to a suite "

"The restaurant and bar was excellent. Beautiful village pub with plenty of atmosphere."
