The staff were brilliant and made our stay so enjoyable. Food was excellent both for the breakfast and evening meal. Our Room was cleaning and comfortable with a nespresso machine, premium teabags and fresh milk available from a fridge in the landing were welcome additions. The pub felt warm and cosy was festooned with lovely Christmas decorations. I thoroughly recommend the Crown & Punchbowl when visiting Cambridge, especially as a half hourly bus service into Cambridge stops just across the road.

Nice pub in a small village right next to Cambridge. There are only 9 rooms. Ours was pretty small but comfortable. It’s perfect for a small stay near Cambridge. Staff is lovely and the food at the pub is really good.

4/10 Fair

I was given room 4, no toilet roll and the bathroom smelt really badly of urine. I told the bar man and he changed my room . One thing I noticed from both rooms that they are looking very tired and need renovating. For a £100 for a one night stay mid week I would expect far better. The bed was comfy though .I wouldn't stay again...
