Rectory Farm is set in a stunning location, in the middle of beautiful rolling countryside, yet easy to reach from Cambridge (we did a combination of cycling and public transport). Although Rectory Farm does not have breakfast facilities, they offer recommendations nearby. We opted for the Caton Orchard Garden Centre, and loved it. The room (we had the Superior King) was comfortable and the bathroom spacious and clean. The overall atmosphere was that of a luxurious old-world stay. As for where they lost points, in our opinion: - no bicycle storage, guests are expected to leave their bikes exposed to the elements - the coffee/tea facilities are basic, in this day and age business may want to consider offering non dairy milk options (they comes in sachets, just like dairy and with no fridge facilities, one cannot bring their own) and maybe 2-3 different options of tea. This is just a small observation. - we put some of the decorative pillows on top of the wardrobe, but when we took them down at the end of our stay, they were very dusty (the top of the wardrobe had not been cleaned). Other than this, lovely place to stay, would be curious to go back during the summer to make the most of the outdoor space!

Great location very quiet and room was clean, check in was a faff without the traditional reception area, however understand to keep room prices better than expected that v xxx it’s need to be reduced, I would make it more clear on the booking page as I can imagine it will frustrate more less technical minded. One big advice would be to invest in a mattress, unfortunately the one in our room was way to cheap and you could feel the 5 springs that it had!

Very reasonable price for nice ensuite rooms, very close to Cambridge city centre. They are all self check in so can be a bit difficult to find some rooms in the dark. We had a double room when I had requested a twin but I couldn’t get through on the number given for assistance. But I’m ok with the lack of staff if they continue to offer the rooms at such a reasonable price. Nice surroundings with very well marked out footpaths for walks. I would stay here again.

It was disappointing that there were no members of staff, we also tried to go to the snacks and drinks bar and there was no one there either. The room was in lovely condition but sad that there were no shower amenities.

Decent for the price
For the price, especially in/around cambridge I thought the room was okay. The building and grounds are beautiful. I didn’t enjoy the many many messages and emails I received in advance to arrange payment and deposit payment. It’s very rare these days to have to pay a deposit. When I arrived checking in was like an orienteering exercise to find key and room. Not what you need in the dark after a long day travelling. I enjoy arriving at hotels and seeing a person at reception, it’s part of the experience for me and while I imagine the lack of service is what helps to keep the price lower, it does significantly impact the overall experience. That’s a personal preference. Location isn’t bad especially if you’re driving.
