Excellent breakfast. Very friendly owners. Suggest you call before for precise directions as the location from Expedia on Apple Maps is about a mile before the hotel

The hosts, Sean & Jane were most accommodating and very friendly. Our accommodation is pretty much self-contained. Could do with a little bit of decorating but on the whole very good

Host was very welcoming and made the stay easy & comfortable. Very rural and basic facilities but charming, relaxing in its own way. Breakfast was well cooked and delicious. I would stay again.

This was an an enjoyable experience, particular for a sole traveller. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the proprietors were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast (which was very good food) was an enjoyable social experience meeting other guests that you do not tend to get with staying at a larger chain hotel. Very relaxing and quiet rural location, easy for getting out and visiting Ely or Cambridge.

Fantastic location for peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of sight seeing. A very friendly welcome from the owner who also does a great breakfast included in the price. The rooms are spot on for what you want it for. Always stay there the owner can't do enough for you highly recommend it.

Well worth a visit
V good value. Friendly and welcoming. Basic room with 2 friendly mules outside.
The only slight negative was extremely bumpy 200 metres unsupported road to premises. No problem if careful but don't bring your Ferrari! Would definitely recommend for a stay.

Lovely warm welcome when we arrived. Breakfasts brilliant and vegetarians catered for. Only had to ask out host if we wanted anything extra. Very efficient radiators that warmed the room and en suite very quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Not what we were expecting.
Not what we were expecting from the photos and reviews. The host was really good and the breakfasts were lovely excellent, but our room was anything but. There was mould on the bathroom ceiling, and the radiator was coming off the wall. The furniture in the conservatory is falling apart.
