separate accommodation off road parking excellent location late breakfast key drop-off black line
the accommodation block was separate from the main pub. the block was clean. off road parking was available , benefiting me. the location suited me well as it was near the cambridge american cemetery & memorial.
the breakfast was too late for my schedule at the weekend , since i had to leave early. there was nowhere to leave keys when i departed. the tv had a black line across the screen , giving a poor view.

charming inn with great service!
friendly staff included breakfast convenient location replenished tea
I found the staff very attentive. They really went the extra mile. the breakfast included with the room rate was a treat (especially the english breakfast!). the location was convenient with good bus links to the city center. my room was cleaned daily, and the tea and coffee were replenished.
the decor felt a little dated, needing some freshening up.

an adequate stay
coffee facilities breakfast quality late noise garden closure
the room was clean and adequate. tea and coffee making facilities were available, and there were plenty of towels. the breakfast was very good and plentiful.
The garden got very noisy late into the night. people were shouting past 10:30 pm. This could be improved. the garden area should shut earlier, perhaps at 9 pm.
