Lovely manor house with great comforts.
"A lovely relatively quiet old manor house, just off the M11. Rooms well insulated for heat, 2 windows didn’t close easily in my room, but other guests seemed to slam them shut. Bed was huge and very comfortable; the bathroom was clean and the domestic staff maintained the room daily. I did drive ..."

Disappointing end to an otherwise excellent stay
"Excellent location, tucked behind the Fitzwilliam Museum and next to the river. It's worth paying a little extra for a river view - the rooms facing the other way look onto the backs of old buildings, which isn't unpleasant, but the river view is lovely. The decor is fun, themed around the punts ..."
