The house, location and facilities were unique. It really felt like a Manor House and not a hotel. We loved the vibe and the grounds, and the room. A bit of feedback below on the app feature but I will say it worked for me and is good innovation by the owners.

The bathroom was a little basic and didn’t have any toiletries, although I know this is advised on the website. There were a few guests with us on arrival struggling with the app. Some were complaining. I actually quite liked the concept and it worked for me, but possibly harder for others, like the elderly. I would maybe suggest doing a video tutorial on how to access the hotel for guests before they arrive?

Lovely historic property, well decorated, quiet, with access to nature and still close enough to Cambridge to make use of public transport to town. I appreciate that additional charges like parking and pool are optional rather than being folded into the price.

The 5 pound charge to your card if they notice that you’ve ordered food delivery seems unwarranted given that they’ve already placed a hold on your card for any damages and there’s no restaurant on site. The bed was clean, but housekeeping of other surfaces (carpets etc) could be improved. A few lawn chairs would be a lovely addition to the spacious garden. I saw a number of guests making do with rocks, towels on the ground, or the couple wooden benches available.

Brilliant location, great room, nice additions such as coffee and snack vending machines plus the options of buying a breakfast relatively close by.

When I requested to park my van during the day to pick up after work, I was first sent an email saying that I could and that there would be no charge. Then I was later phoned and told I could park during the day but only if I paid £20, which I declined because there is 'park n ride' free parking option 2mins away. I was appalled that this fact was not brought to my attention and that they wanted £20 to park.

This is a brilliant place to stay for proximity to Cambridge. I really liked the rooms. It was all very easy and suited our needs perfectly. I can't comment on the staff as we didn't see anyone....

We are happy enough with a cold room but the beds need properly dressing with a decent duvet and blanket. We were freezing all night. I'm glad we packed our thermals and pyjamas but getting out of bed to find a blanket in the small hours is not fun. In this sense we weren't comfortable and we didn't have a good night's sleep unfortunately.

Clean, modern, good sized room and value for price.

No shampoo or conditioner in bathroom. Would have liked a hand towel also.

Everything was perfect, except that on a hot night it was only possible to open one window a little - which made little difference. We could have done with opening the second window, but it was locked. Breakfast was a bit pricey if one only wants to eat a small amount, but it was good food In the days after booking, and certainly close to arrival time, I got far too many ludicrous, repetitive emails "from" Rectory Farm , but this may just have been the Booking.Com servers going berserk, rather than the hotel itself. One of the earlier emails from Booking.Com, sent after my booking had been confirmed, asked for "more information," was suspicious and Rectory Farm confirmed later that it was a "bug," which I took to mean scam or hack. The above was all annoying, but not definitive: we did enjoy our one night stay.

See above - I put everything there

The room was very clean & set in beautiful surroundings.

Would have liked breakfast to be included in the price!

Perfect for our visit to Cambridge. The Madingley Park and Ride was a five minute walk and only 10min bus journey into very city centre. We were booked into their “chalet” which are indicated on here as Club Rooms and they are not part of main house. Modern built, excellent shower, fresh oak modern doors, proper opening windows (which in the heatwave was a blessing!) Lots of plugs in our room (at least three double sockets) which for us with all our Apple products to charge, and kettle, hairdryer and fan going, was a freshing change to some budget hotels, brilliant!! Absolute bargain price for a Cambridge two night stay!

Pillows weren’t great but no staff around to ask about. Fan provided in room, worked well, but was very crackly (sounded like it was struggling to work) and therefore couldn’t be left on overnight being too loud. Only amenities provided in bathroom is a single bar of soap and one bath towel each. At least a handtowel wouldn’t have stretched the bank too would it? We were made aware in the booking confirmation about the lack of toiletries so we knew to bring our own. Perhaps not having anyone on site is a security issue for a potential solo traveller? No bar, or night porter. Felt very self-catering rather than hotel. But would not stop us booking this property again.

We stayed in ground floor of chalet block. Lovely, quiet grounds, nice room conveniently located on outskirts of Cambridge. We were initially concerned that being next to M11 it would be noisy. It wasn’t really. The room had double glazing and the M11 is screened by trees and in a cutting. It was dry weather - might be noisier in the wet - but we found that outside there was just a bit of continuous white background noise like a distant shore or waterfall. In the room with the windows shut, there was no noise from road. Our room had views over the grounds and a crowd of baby bunnies to entertain us!

The precise location was a bit awkward. The gated entrance is very close to the M11 sliproad. The park and ride (£4 adult return) was easy walking distance but there were no pedestrian crossings to get to it - pavement was not continuous. Sometimes you were walking over uneven grass verge to reach level pavement/safe crossing point. Have a look on Google StreetView to get a feel for what I mean. Internal sound insulation in room wasn’t very good. You could hear water draining from showers (it felt like drain pipe was in the corner of the room), footsteps overhead and occasional conversation.

Excellent location near Cambridge, with attractive buildings, large grounds and a private feel. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and well presented. Good parking is available and there's a park-and-ride into Cambridge nearby (walking distance). It's close to the M11 which adds to the convenience if coming by car.

The bedrooms were a little cramped. It was also extremely hot on one of the days we stayed and, although there were fans in the room, there was no air-conditioning. The nearby M11, while providing convenience, can be heard in the background when outside. Nevertheless, we very much enjoyed our stay at Rectory Farm.
