Lovely quiet sunny room and staff all very friendly and helpful. Everything great but breakfast could be more generous at the price (poor quality bread/toast, which we had to request twice). My cooked breakfast excellent having said that.

The breakfast was the highlight of the stay! The room didn't feel clean & neither was it. Cobwebs on the lampshades & hair (not mine) on the floor. The bathroom shower head needs descaling as the jets of water from it was going everywhere. The actual shower doesnt stay up & it keeps sliding down the pole! The shower door has limescale on it & the rubber which is suppose to stop water going on the floor is hanging off, so when you get out of the shower, the floor is soaked. The tv remote was absolutely filthy with markings on it worn off. The tv mounted on the wall is in a very strange place as

Great place to stay for Duxford air show. Wide range of drinks in the bar and engaging staff who were very helpful. In a quiet village with a large garden
