I have noticed a decline in this pub over the past months. When it was first taken over by new owners it was excellent however more recently I have found that the service is sometimes lacking and food portions have reduced in size. The pub itself isn't always as clean as it could be. Very disappointing as it was so... More

I stayed here on a business trip and had booked in for 5 days originally and checked after the third night. Firstly the good points: Amazing food, lovely accomodating staff, good selection of drinks, beautiful village location. Now for the bad points. I had to change rooms due to the carpet not being very clean. Nothing major, it just needed... More

We recently had our wedding ceremony/blessing here. The pub was closed all day and night for our wedding, and we filled the 10 lovely rooms with family and friends over night so all enjoyed breakfast together the next day. The staff were there to help every step of the way, from the planning, to helping us choose the menus and... More

Didn't know what to expect when we visited here but have to say our whole party (8 of us) thought the meal we had was fantastic. There was lots of tasting each others choices. Not cheap but well worth the money and the staff were really friendly.

We stayed here as part of a wedding celebration. This is a good example of what is best about an English pub. Lots of different rooms in which to enjoy good beers and wines. The food was exceptional considering that they were serving for about 35 guests. Our bedroom was out the back and was quiet and the bed was... More

Stopped here for just one night when working in nearby Cambridge. I stopped in room 5 and was very impressed, the room being spacious, very well equipped and very clean. The bed was very comfortable, the sofa a nice touch and a large flat screen multi channel TV. Free wi-fi in the rooms and a good signal too. The food... More

Spent three nights here after arriving on long haul flight in London. Perfect country location with excellent restaurant and helpful staff. Best cafe latte I've had in the UK served at the bar. Highly recommended as a country retreat with easy access for visiting Cambridge and Duxford.

My husband and I were lucky enough to visit and stay overnight last month without kids yay! What a fabulous time we had! The rooms are absolutely gorgeous with the attention to detail being second to none - very pleasing to the creative husband who is always on the look out for potential pitfalls! The position and outlook were fantastic... More
