Rectory Farm

Rectory Farm

8/10 Good
"A unique location, very quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature. A few miles away from Cambridge city centre and a 10 minute's drive from Duxford airfield. I would have expected shampoo/shower gel though, but there's a Sainsbury's around the corner. Sadly, a breakfast option at the premises is not offered, but can be done at Coton Orchards not far away. Two great gastro-pubs nearby for dining. Very friendly staff, will definitely consider to return."

"The hotel was in a great location but parking at the local multi-storey was very expensive. The breakfast was lovely but our evening meal was very disappointing as there wasn’t much left on the menu. What we did have was very bland. The staff were very friendly and our room was lovely but did overlook people in the restaurant which was a bit invasive."

Christs College Cambridge

Christs College Cambridge

8/10 Good
"These are rooms in the new block at the rear (1993). They’re basic, but decent value, we paid £122 for a twin with breakfast. Our room faced a street with bars and restaurants, resulting in street noise through the poor double glazing. The room is also overlooked by many apartments and in the absence of net curtains, this meant we had to close the main curtains for much of the time. Good location in central Cambridge though and it’s a historic college. Breakfast in the Upper Hall was good: hot and cold buffet, shared tables and benches. The rooms are only available at limited times of the year when the main student body are not present."

Only 1 draw back is the £20 a day car charge,think that is unfair when you are staying in any hotel and spending alot of money on accommodation and food and drink,this should be waivered."
