Great B&B to stay at. USB sockets in the bedside lamps; tea and coffee in the room; coffee machine, fridge and microwave in the guest lounge; plenty of choice for breakfast; a fan in the room was most welcome; shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided as well as lovely towels and face cloths.

We decided at the last minute to break our journey on a bank-holiday weekend, from West Midlands to the East End of London and booked 'The Old School House Rooms' on chance and we were so pleased that we found them. It would be difficult to find fault with any aspect of the stay particularly for the price. Thoroughly recommend

Comfortable hotel in peaceful setting

We enjoyed a short stay here in a quaint village whilst visiting Newmarket races. The comfortable rooms are newly refurbished and the area very quiet and peaceful, with several pubs to eat. The breakfast was delicious. We would stay here again

Cambridge Sightseeing

Stayed for two nights, visiting Cambridge but wanting to avoid the city-centre hotels. Great location - Waterbeach Station is 5 mins walk from where its 2 stops / £3 to Cambridge Central. Accommodation was ideal. Lisa made arrival simple, and the room was comfortable, quiet and well equipped. Breakfast was delicious and Lisa very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again.

Well worth a visit

This is a very nice, small hotel. All units on the ground floor. Excellent service and very good breakfast. Posh towels and toiletries. Good signage, but SatNav can take you to a pub, which is actually across a green park area from another street with the same name. Their sign is black and you park in the back of the property. The staff were all very kind. Lots of great coffee pods and tea and cookies are provided. A sweet little place and we hope to go again.
