Do not let the position of this hotel influence your decision. It might be near the motorway but the ambience and style of the house was wonderful.The staff were welcoming and friendly with an excellent breakfast offered.

Nice comfortable hotel room set against the backdrop of a quiet, country lodge. My room had everything I needed for a restful night’s stay. The bed was comfortable and the shower was warm and provided ample water pressure. The hotel was well located just off the A1 and for me to meet friends for a run in the east of town the following morning. The one thing which I was a bit disappointed by was the lack of communication around check in and check out. I arrived a little after 10:30PM and had extreme difficulty finding my room key as it was not communicated in advance how check in would work. Furthermore, in the morning I had a similar experience with check out and leaving the key in an unlocked box did not seem secure. If the communication and planning around check in and check out could be improved it would be a 5/5 stay! Many Thanks

We arrived late, the key for my room was left as instructed. Room was clean the bed was comfy. The only negatives are the room layout meant that when the door was open it felt like you were stepping straight into the bed and the soundproofing between rooms could be better.

We were really pleasantly surprised with our stay at Rectory Farm. Bit of a faff with check in as the email went to junk mail but was able to figure it out after a quick call to the hotel. Our room was in the main house and afforded a beautiful outlook over neighbouring fields. Bed was really comfortable and the decor charming, in-keeping with the style of the house. The shower was hot and powerful enough. We enjoyed a hearty full buffet breakfast the next morning which was well worth £16 a head. We opted to grab Ubers to and from Cambridge which were just under £10 each way. Absolute bargain and no wait time at all. This was a last minute visit to coincide with a Stansted pick up and we were delighted with our choice. The price point is fantastic and I would certainly stay again on my next visit. I am well travelled and five star city centre luxury is my go to but no complaints for Rectory Farm whatsoever. It does the job very nicely and a stroll around the beautiful gardens was the perfect end to our first Cambridge trip. Thank you!

Nice king size bed and big shower for 2 people. Bed comfortable and house and grounds beautiful. Only issue can hear next rooms plugging into sockets and doors closing which woke us up.
