Charactor historic 14th century pub,beside it is a old chapel.breakfast included.lovely quality bedroom.beautiful large garden area sunny day had dinner outside.deck chairs and benches.free play on pool was nice.
A little confusion on parking but was fine when we asked at bar u av to go right around to the back of pub after yellow barrier area. there 10 spaces parking for pub. and put ur reg in there system,as at start of carpark,theres signs 2nd one its holiday inn parking, and fines of 100 quid if u go over time if u avnt put ur reg in etc,so its important to make sure u put it n the right carpark registration system.both systems are in pub whether u park there or pubs spaces if any confusion put in both or one or other ur parking in,but makes sure u note it in which car park u are in so u arnt fined from holiday inn. and ul b fine plenty of help at bar from staff if confusion.its also opposite railway station also.whittlesfield.

Lovely welcoming team. Parking was excellent for us and walking in with our dog after a long tiring day the greeting was really lovely. We were offered food and drink immediately and our dog also was made to feel welcome. There are no ground floor rooms and no lift so wouldn’t suit some people. The room was pleasant and bed comfortable. The shower was a rain shower type which isn’t adjustable but it was warm immediately and powerful. The only downfall was it needed better cleaning. It looked like the toilet had been blocked at some point and had overflowed with mashed up dried toilet paper. We didn’t complain though but I know it would have been addressed if we had done. The building is obviously old and as such has its own peculiarities and quirks. We enjoyed our stay and would go back again. The welcome and attentiveness makes up for small deficiencies. Thank you.

This is a traditional inn of some antiquity, apparently refurbished and extended by a hotel company. The location was perfect for my intended purposes - a sports event in the village and a visit to the famous Duxford airfield and museum. There was a good atmosphere throughout the stay. The staff were pleasant and helpful, even after I accidentally took the headboard from my bed right off the wall, in the msitaken belief that it was attached to the bed. The food was excellent. It was not just that the "traditional hotel breakfast" was offered. I had a magnificent steak for dinner on one of the three nights I stayed. I wanted to have dinner more than once but, on the Sunday, I found everything closed at [from memory] 7pm . I was told that this is normal for the district, but I can't help thinking that the location is thereby losing out on potential profit. My room was comfortable, but small, even for a single room. This was OK for the three nights I stayed, but would become irksome for anyone wanting an extended stay. The bathroom was clean, modern, but tiny. There was no shelf on which to park toiletries and, on reflection, I couldn't see where there might have been room to erect one. The shower was a tight squeeze and the shower head is non-dirigble. This is fine for a day, or a few days, but an extended stay might be different.
See above!

Clean comfortable room, plenty of hot water - breakfast was just great in choice and quality. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Parking is a bit chaotic - only 10 allocated spaces to service 18 rooms and other patrons. When we turned up the allocated car park was full and I had to leave the car in the main carpark (operated by Smart) to get help from the staff. I’m fully expecting to receive a £100 fine even though I paid £12:50 for 12 hours parking. Staff should have been a bit quicker to get me to register for the 2 hrs free parking on arrival to avoid a fine.

I liked the warm friendly welcome from the staff, and the cleanliness of the room and its easy access. Evening meal was nice and the breakfast selection was varied.
I have to mention the parking, and whilst it was evident that there was an automated system in place with signs every where, it wasn't clear or made clear(staff admitted and apologised for not informing me on arrival) that there was actually two separate areas for the two seperate businesses. Its a shame the two venues couldn't be covered by a single system.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful, The food was good both in taste ,choice and quantity, This very ancient building is very cosy and interesting and whilst it's position is next to the railway station ,there is very little noise and this is more than compenated by the frquent service to near- by Cambridge Our double Bedroom was of good size and the bed very comfortable
The age and nature of this graded building,limits the modifications that can be made and our en-suite shower room was very small as was the washbasin , but what we realy missed was a simple shelf as there was nowhere to place small items such as soap dishes, razors or even a tooh brush!

Staff were lovely, friendly and very welcoming. Building was over 500 years old which was cool. We only ate breakfast but it really exceeded our expectations, food was delicious. Hotel had parking is right next to the train station which is only a 9 minute train into the centre of Cambridge. Finally the price was so reasonable compared to anything else we found. I’d highly highly recommend this place.
Really don’t want to write anything negative about this hotel because I really enjoyed our stay. With the building being over 500 years old the room was slightly hot but there was a fan in the room and can understand where this is an old building.

Again, another great stay. In the evening, the chefs homemade food is amazing, would highly recommend the homemade scotch egg and pickle as a light meal. The Inches Cider is crisp and it’s evident of the beer pipe management. Comfy bed in a clean room so I slept soundly . High quality ingredients used for breakfast. Staying in this wonderful historical building is great value with amazingly helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend,
Ah, whilst the quality of the breakfast is great, but on every visit the simple breakfast request has been completely misunderstood. I can only imagine the poor simple creature that prepares the breakfast lives in the lower echelons of this wonderful historic building and howls at the passing trains, that cannot be heard by the human ear, as he grunts as breakfast orders that are relayed by the helpful and polite waitress. If there is ever a remake of the Goonies, there will be an opportunity for another breakfast chef😂

Food was good,we had dinner at the pub which was nice, breakfast buffet was generous with lots of choice and tasty. Great location for IWM Duxford the next day.
Bit confusing knowing where to park. I went in on arrival to ask and was told we could park anywhere in the car park behind the pub but not that this was free, so we followed instructions on the signs and paid which was expensive. Some clarity on the site would be good, we didn’t want to risk a fine. Room was ok given the price, but some odd things like v tucked away tea and coffee in a jar, two cups, one saucer and one glass, which was odd and it needed a bit of TLC to be honest. Do note, this is an old building with steep stairs to the rooms. Characterful and nice pub downstairs, nice garden and friendly staff. Under new management apparently so that might explain odd things.
