Sixth time visiting here, first time with the name change and its still just as good. Love the new neon sign outside. Staff were very friendly, check in was nice and quick at the self check in machines and the rooms are clean and spacious for the price.

Very good indeed.

A very relaxing and nice place to stay. The room and bathroom were spotless and the staff were all very professional and friendly. I have to make a special mention of Lizzie (the receptionist) who made an extra special effort to return some lost property to me.

Mr Ashley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean and fit for purpose. However they are not very well sound proofed. One morning we were woken up at around 8am to workmen at both ends of the corridor, drilling and banging. We were not pre warned of this, and were informed that they shouldn’t have started until 9 am.One night there were guests making alot of noise in their rooms keeping us awake. The rooms do not have phones in for you to Ring the reception desk. We ate breakfast and dinner in the bar which we could not fault, it’s also worth going a few minutes up the road into st neots. The location was great and easy to get to other places. The staff we saw were also really polite and friendly.

Timothy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was spotless, bed was comfy. Staff are lovely and helpful. The food is good and the settings are great. The only thing that stopped me marking a 5 was the fact to play darts & shuffleboard cost quite a bit. Darts are generally free to play in pubs but here was £25! Shame as it was raining so we would’ve spent some time in the bar playing games had it been cheaper.
