Really nice place
The room was very nice and clean, a bit warm but with the window open there was a nice breeze. The swimming pool is very nice, heated at the right temperature to be pleasant but not too hot for a swim. Thw building and garden are great.

Quality stay and using quaint pubs to eat
Beautiful grounds & Room.
It’s a perfect place to stay. Re evening meal this is from local pubs in the area. From quaint local country pubs (20 min walk) or a pizza / restaurants in a new very posh housing complex (10 mins). Sainsbury’s also in complex too. I’ll be staying again.

My stay at Rectory Farm
There was poor lighting in the hallway to open the room door, had trouble opening the room door, very noisy at night with doors banging especially with windows open, very comfortable bed, clean room and good breakfast.

Quiet and Calm and perfect for Cambridge
Loved our stay. Clean and comfortable.
The low beam in the bathroom did make contact with my head a number of times!
But this discomfort was more than compensated by the quiet and calm surroudings, the tasy breakfast and the outdoor pool.
The location was perfect. A stones throw away from the park and ride and only 2.5 miles from Cambridge centre.
