A very comfortable 'club' room, small but stylish, with an excellent shower room with power shower. Immaculately clean. Set amidst paddocks and meadows at the end of a long driveway, about 3-4 miles west of the centre of Cambridge, just off the M11. Welcomed very courteously by the owner. Would definitely stay again.

Set in beautiful grounds, this is a place that makes a great first impression. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had a beautiful en-suite but overall there was a strange and somewhat stiff atmosphere to the place. I think this was because this is a 1950s house contrived to look older than its years, inside and out, and also... More

We made a booking via booking but mixed up the dates! We got a principle-pupil lecture from the owner who agreed to host us with double the price of booking otherwise we will loose the money we already paid. bad start but it went from bad to worst. There was a party/wedding at the rear garden so our windows were... More

I booked a room for a guest lecturer at my University who cancelled the day before the booking due to illness. The proprietors charged me the full room rate and refused to compromise on this, despite my request to pay 50%. They then lied to me, saying they would reduce the rate but in fact charged me the full room... More

I am sorry that you are disappointed with the service you received at Rectory Farm. You originally enquired on 16 April requesting accommodation for a third party on 22 April. Following a discussion about keeping parrots in the bedroom, to which we agreed, you booked on 18 April and it was confirmed by us to you the same day stating... More

The farm is a little drive away from Cambridge, but the location felt secluded and private and luxurious. Because of an opening, our room was upgraded to a suite, which gave us plenty of room to be comfortable and stretch out after a week-long trip in the U.K. And rather than eating in town, the innkeeper recommended a walk along...

Rectory Farm is approached through automated gates just to the east of the M11/Madingley Road junction/slip road. We stayed in a chalet room, well appointed, with wifi in the main hallway. The continental breakfast is extensive and with good range of choices. The gardens are delightful and the enterprise is also a wedding reception venue, so that ensures that all... More

I stayed at the Rectory Farm on the evening of the 3 April. Overall an excellent place to stay for a short visit to Cambridge. Set in 50 acres of grounds - gives a taste of the English countryside but very conveniently located. Rooms are smart and well equipped for short stays. No evening food although there is a honesty...
