i found the village beautiful and the location central. cambridge and the area surrounding are very easy to explore. the surroundings allowed me to relax and get away from everything. breakfast came to my door each morning, a lovely service. quality produce looked in a generous portion.
some minor updates would be welcome, but everything suited my needs well.

some issues with the room

friendly hostdamaged beddingpoor shower
the host was really friendly when i arrived, that was nice.
the windows where covered so i couldn't see outside and the room felt very small. some of the bedding was damaged and needed to be fixed. the shower wasn't great either.

Charming Stay in a Peaceful Village

good quality producegenerous portionoff-street parkingadditional light
The breakfast delivered to the door each morning was great. It had really good quality produce and a generous portion (especially the eggs!). The bed was very comfortable, and I had a very good night's sleep. I appreciated the off-street parking. It added a layer of convenience.
The room had a long mirror, but more light would improve the space. It's functional but could be better.

i felt immediately welcome, a tender experience. breakfast arrived each morning, delivered right to the door, so thoughtful and caring. it featured really good quality produce, presented in a generous portion. the host, alex, provided lots of information about local transport to cambridge. it was just what i needed!
The room was a tad too warm at times. It would have been wonderful to have a way to adjust the temperature more easily.
