Traditional British Cottage Feel
"We reserved one of the smaller rooms and it was adequate for our stay. Traditional British cottage feel. It’s a bit outside of Cambridge so getting to places to eat etc, you had to walk 20-25 mins to the few nearby restaurants or taxi around. The setting however is beautiful."
