The room was 15 degrees Celsius so we asked for a heater. The response from the owner was 'How is it possible the room was too cold? Nobody else has complained yet!'. She shouted at us for five minutes just at my request for a heater! More

This B and B is not good value for money. Rooms are very dated, cramped, and poorly maintained. We had no hot water on arrival. Service was rude and abrupt and a far cry from the friendly B and B service you would expect. Avoid this. More

Upon arrival I was rudely told off by the landlady for calling the number displayed on the front door under a sign saying 'please call' !! Landlady informed me she was not always there and gave me all the keys for our party. She did not greet the rest of the party- I could have let anyone in! Rooms were... More

Booked this online after a decent star rating from AA. Boy their standards must be low. I booked a twin room, asked for an early breakfast. They only had a double and there was no such thing as an early breakfast. Service was abrupt, no ID requested (what sort of place is this?!) very small terraced house, busy road out... More

As an American, a hotel is mainly used for 2 things...showering and sleeping. This place is not good for either. The shower has a box that controls the water...if there was any...absolutely NO water pressure. The trickle you get is either too hot or too cold...there is no warm. I have not washed my hair all week...UGH!!! Taking a sponge... More

Included in this price was supposedly central heating, telephones, free wifi, freeview tv. When we arrived we had to ring to see where... More

I had arranged a surprise night away for my husband to Cambridge to explore the beautiful city and take some time to relax. I wanted to keep costs down so looked to book somewhere outside of the main city centre (Brooklands is a 20 minute walk into town and is a bit cheaper than the city at £70 a night).... More
