"Not for me"
We planned an overnight stay in the Cambridge area and selected this B&B. The bedrooms are separate to the pub entering by an external door beside the food storage cupboard. The stairs/hall area needs attention, particularly the carpet. We had a room for 3, the third bed being an extremely uncomfortable roll away bed. The bedroom had been recently decorated, so was clean. Read less
Likes:
The staff were very friendly.
Dislikes:
Very poor third bed, While then pub is quaint, the bedroom area is not. The breakfast food was nice, but the drinks seemed rationed ( I was only offered 1small cup of coffee).

"Very disappointed"
We arrived at the pub in the evening with relatives who had shown us where it was. We walked into the bar and were completely ignored until my sister-in-law interrupted the conversation. We were eventually taken up to our room up a staircase which was dirty and into the room which was very nice and the on-suite was excellent the only off-putting thing was the number of house flies. (see continuation) Read less
Likes:
On suite was very nice. Food good.
Dislikes:
After being out the next day we returned to the pub to find that our bedroom had not been serviced, no bed made or bins emptied, no cups washed or tea/milk in room. (see continuation)

The head chef has appeared on BBC's Masterchef and GMTV and has established this Inn as a destination venue for great home made pub food. Everything is created on the premises or in the farm house a few doors away, from slow roast belly pork from the local farm to horlicks ice cream to unique currys to hand made naan bread. Food is traditional with a few twists creating a large menu that changes seasonally with something for everyone.

The restaurant itself is a country-kitchen style with a very informal attitude, and is decorated with lots of flower arrangements created by the staff themselves. The open plan style of the building leads you from the restaurant to the traditional pub bar which has a selection of quality real ales, real ciders, wines and spirits to enjoy.
The lounge area with traditional Chesterfield setees is warmed with roaring log fires. The rooms (1 single & 4 doubles) are all en suite with access from the beer garden allowing freedom to come and go as you please. Facilities include luxury beds, DVD players with library, LCD televisions, fresh milk with tea and coffee facilities, honesty bar for after hours, cycle hire, baby facilities, quality breakfasts with early starter facilities, luxury welcome packs, picnic hire, laundry and ironing facilities and lots more!
Local attractions include Sky Dive Centre, Ely Cathedral, Cambridge City, Stonea Camp, museums, Dunhams Wood, Welney Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, Skylark Garden Centre and Giant Carboot, Ouse Washes RSBP Reserve, and many immense fenland landscapes. The Anchor is also on the Woodmans Walk great for walkers and cyclists.
