    poor connectivity
    room noise

    Wi-Fi connectivity was less than ideal, with multiple weak spots!!! Noise from adjacent rooms disrupted the tranquility, revealing thin walls needing better soundproofing!!! Musty carpets indicated a need for deep cleaning!!!

    traditional vibe
    friendly staff

    great proximity to parks and charming eateries for weekend explorers

    I had a truly delightful experience, as I was able to wander to The Indian Ocean for an amazing meal in just a few steps and also enjoyed a lovely stroll through the local parks nearby, making my stay both relaxing and filled with exploration. for those who love a good pub setting, this spot offers a traditional vibe with very friendly staff. The only minor downside was the shower water temperature, which I found challenging to adjust, but overall it was a wonderful experience.

    reservation issue

    the location was fab, right in the center. the staff were super friendly and made sure everything was good for us. the room was really spacious and comfy, we had a great sleep! clean bedding and towels too, which is always a nice touch. enjoyed the local vibe at the pub!

    wifi was really weak in the room we stayed in, and we had issues with finding our reservation at first but they sorted it out quickly.

    Quiet getaway with comfy beds

    We spent a night here, and wow, what a lovely spot. The rooms are tucked away from the noise, super spacious, and I’m still dreaming about that super king bed! Our pups loved the secure garden. The café across the street serves fab breakfast, but parking could be tricky during busy times.

    spacious room
    excellent wet room
    enclosed lawned beer garden

    Strongly recommend for a weekend stopover

    Spacious room, excellent wet room, with a comfortable super king bed and an enclosed lawned beer garden perfect for our two small dogs. the pub is conveniently located right in the heart of the village with a quick stop for the No 8 bus just outside for exploring nearby attractions.

    Zero issues.

    private environment
    helpful staff
    busy kitchen
    limited dinner options

    The stay was quite satisfactory. The room was very clean and private, which I appreciated as a solo traveler. I was disappointed with the dinner service. the staff member who checked me in was lovely and even helped with my bags.

    Needs improvement
    5.0

    The room had an unpleasant smell that I couldn't quite place, possibly due to something stale stuck somewhere. The walls were pretty thin. every bark from the neighbor's dog rattled my nerves. The shower plug was cracked and the tiles looked dirty around the edges—definitely in need of a refresh. Only overhead lighting in the room felt distracting. a table lamp would have been way more relaxing. Plus, there wasn’t any WiFi available, which some might miss, though it didn’t kill my vibe. Not having breakfast on-site was a letdown, but there are options nearby. not awful but there’s room for improvement.

    welcoming staff
    spacious rooms
    dog friendly
    limited family activities

    We had a lovely stay with our special needs son's autism support dog. The welcoming staff made our experience enjoyable and stress-free. The rooms were spacious and warm. The nearby pubs and the beautiful River Cam offer plenty to explore, including quiet walks and cozy places to unwind.

    My kids wished for more activities specifically tailored for families.

    enclosed garden
    modern room

    The separate building's tranquil vibe made our stay really good. Loved the enclosed garden where my dogs could chill while we relaxed. The modern room was cozy, and the pub vibe was super inviting with all the cool decor. Plenty of local spots around for a good time!

    will come back

    Big, comfy King Room with a super king bed, flat-screen TV, and all the essentials like free toiletries and a hairdryer. The wet room was nice and modern. Everything felt clean and safe with a smoke alarm. Staff were super welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Loved the quiet ambience!
